Aconitum japonicum ssp. napiforme, a toxic perennial,
inhabits forests in mountainous regions on the Japan Sea. Stems
measure approximately one meter in height, and leaves cleave
themselves into three; the leaflets, 5-15cm in length and width,
also cleave themselves into shallow to mid-veins. Blue-purple
flowers, each 3-4cm tall, form corymbs and bloom from the bottom up.
Petioles are equipped with bent hairs, and pistils and stamens
without hairs. Bloom time: September-November. |
