content: This is a mounted specimen from a wild hydrangea plant. There is a thin central branch that has stemmed leaves shooting off on either side. The leaves are arranged symmetrically in pairs, with about 8 cm of central branch separating each leaf pair. The leaves are green, have prominent veins, have jagged edges, and are generally ovular with a sharp taper at the top of the leaf. At the top of the leaf there is a cluster of small white flowers, with each flower measuring approximately 2 cm long. Each leaf is generally about 14.5 cm in length. The overall mount is approximately 41 cm x 29 cm. This specimen description was written remotely based on images as part of Amber Kreiensieck's internship in Fall 2021.
