Crepidiastrum lanceolatum / Hosobawadan ホソバワダン

Crepidiastrum lanceolatum is a perennial herb that inhabits rocks or gravel in rocky coastal areas. The stems are stout and short, bearing radical leaves at the top in a rosette-like arrangement. The radical leaves, each measuring 5-15cm in length and 2-4cm in width, are in the shape of an oblong spoon; their bases become narrow to form petiole-like structures. Lateral branches emerge from the axils of the radical leaves, the upper portions diagonally growing up to 20-30cm. Flower heads, yellow, measure 1-1.5cm across. Bloom time: October-November.
