Ta Huang is a plant belonging to the genus Liao of the Liao family. It is a perennial herb. It is named after the yellow pagoda that appears in the flowering period. It grows in the alpine cold zone above 4000 meters, resisting barren, low temperature, strong wind and super strong ultraviolet rays all the time.
After flowering, the adult plant is about 2 meters high, and the yellow flowers (bracts) are staggered and stacked, getting smaller and smaller, forming an airtight pagoda shape, like a greenhouse built on a high mountain, protecting the small flowers hidden inside.After flowering, the flowers will emit a special fragrance, attracting the mushroom mosquitoes to pollinate, pollinated the tower yellow will bear a large number of fruits, although some of the seeds become food for the larvae of mushroom mosquitoes (mushroom mosquitoes come in to lay eggs), but if there is no mushroom mosquito to pollinate, the tower yellow can not bear seeds, let alone continue to reproduce!
Although Talhuang has not been listed as a national key protected wild plant, its number is extremely rare because of its harsh growth environment.If you meet it on the way to travel, please do not destroy its growth environment, not to pull out, can not eat, really very precious, need each of us to love.
