The difference between horn-stemmed wild peony and Brazilian wild peony

1. Leaf Difference

The leaves of the horn-stem wild peony are simple and opposite, with 3 to 5 basal veins and faint pinnate veins, and the leaves are green.

The leaves of the Brazilian wild peony are leathery, lanceolate-ovate, gradually pointed at the tip, wedge-shaped at the base, about 3 to 7 cm long and 1.5 to 3 cm wide, with a smooth and hairless surface.

2. Flower Differences

The flowers of the horn-stemmed wild peony are bisexual, usually 4 to 5 flowers forming a cymose inflorescence, umbel or corymb, or these inflorescences forming a panicle or scorpion-shaped cyme. The petals are bright, usually purple-red.

Brazilian wild peony grows umbels with 3 to 5 flowers, each with 5 petals, which are purple with rounded tips.
