Inula salicina var. asiatica / Kasensou カセンソウ

 

Inula salicina var. asiatica is a 60-80cm tall perennial herb growing in sunny, damp fields and mountains, propagating by extending long rhizomes. Stems are slender and stiff, with somewhat dense hairs. Radical squamous leaves are gone in flowering time, and so are slightly larger leaves on the lower parts. The middle part of the leaves is 5-8cm long, 1-2cm wide, and long, oblong-like, lanceolate, with pointed tips, bases embracing the stems, and sparse serrations on margins. Flower heads, yellow, 3.5-4cm in diameter, are generally set singly on branch tips. Involucres are about 1cm long, about 2cm wide, and hemispheric; involucral bracts are arranged in 4 rows. Bloom time: July-September.
