| Hosiea japonica is a
deciduous liana with brown barks inhabiting somewhat damp places in
forests in mountainous regions. Leaves are opposite, and blades are
5-18cm in length, 2.5-12cm, in an ovate shape, tips sharply pointed
in a tail way, with bases heart-shaped and large irregular
serrations on margins. Surfaces are short-hairy, so do the
backsides. Flowers are dioecious; axils give birth to small
yellow-green flowers, approximately 8mm in diameter, facing sideways
or downward. Bloom time: May-June. |
