Ajuga japonicum is
a perennial herb occurring in the shade of a tree, with stems
measuring 8-20cm in height, and as flowering ends, it bears runners
at the bases to spread out. Leaves are of alternate phyllotaxis,
each with a petiole; 2-5cm long blades are cordate, with coarse,
wavy serrations on the margins. Light purple and labiate flowers
come from the leaf axils on the upper parts. Corollas measure
approximately 2.5cm, and the tube portion is slender. Bloom time:
April-May. |
