Chionographis japonica is a perennial herb found in forests or along forest edges near streams in mountainous regions. Radical leaves radially develop, growing into an oblanceolate shape, 8-14cm in length, with fine, wavy serrations on margins. Scapes measure 15-40cm in height, with linear on-stem leaves. Stem tips give 10-20cm-long racemes with many white flowers. The flowers bloom from bottom to top in order, and the perianth lobes are six in number, with the upper four being linear, the tops thick, and the lower two significantly shorter. Bloom time: May-June.
