Hosiea japonica is a deciduous liana with brown bark that inhabits somewhat damp places in forests in mountainous regions. Leaves are opposite, blades are 5-18cm in length, 2.5-12cm in an ovate shape, with tips sharply pointed in a tail-like manner, bases heart-shaped, and large, irregular serrations on the margins. Surfaces are short-hairy, and so are the backsides. Dioecious: The axils bear small, yellow-green flowers, approximately 8mm in diameter, facing sideways or downward. The fruit (drupe) measures about 1.5cm long in the shape of a somewhat flat oblong and matures to red in September-October. Bloom time: May-June.
