Dichocarpum nipponicum var. sarmentosum is a perennial by a mountain river in damp places. Rhizomes are short and enveloped by broad petiole bases; stems measure 5-18 cm tall and bear 5- 7 cm-long runners after flowering. Radical leaves are 3- 11 cm long, including the petioles, with broad bases and a broad-oval shape, comprising three leaflets with fan-shaped terminals and uneven incisions or dentations on the margins. Lateral leaflets cut into 3-5 new ones. On-stem leaves are on the upper half, generally opposite, 1.2-4.5 cm long (including the petioles), and fan-shaped, reniform, or cut into three lobes. Flowers have five sepals with narrow, obovate portions, 7- 9 mm long, and pale yellow to red-brown at the bases. They also have five petals, 4mm long, linear with circular tips. Bloom time: March-May.
