Gnaphalium japonicum / Chichikogusa チチコグサ

 

Gnaphalium japonicum is a perennial herb found in roadsides or wastelands in fields and mountains, growing to 15-30cm in height and propagates itself by extending runners. Radical leaves are alive in their flowering time, 2.5-10cm long, in a linear-lanceolate shape; lanate (or fine fluff) exists slightly on surfaces and thickly on backsides - thus, looking whitish. On-stem leaves are a few linear. Flower heads gather together in a ballway on stem tips, and lanceolate bracts attach in a radical pattern beneath them. Bloom time: May-October
