A young specimen of Leycesteria formosa bearing deeply-lobed leaves.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Detail of the foliage of a young specimen of Leycesteria formosa (family: Caprifoliaceae) bearing unusually deeply-lobed leaves. The commonest leaf form displayed by this popular garden shrub is cordate (heart-shaped) - more specifically an elongated heart shape with a long drip tip - an adaptation to the species having evolved in a wet climate. This said, there is considerable variation in the degree of lobation/waviness of the leaf margin - from entire through wavy and and almost serrate to lobed in varying degree. This plant is displaying leaves so deeply lobed as almost to recall those of a fig tree or a tulip tree. Plant growing in a roadside bed in the garden of a private house in the village of Paxton in the Scottish Borders (nearest town: Berwick-upon-Tweed).
