Lycopus maackianus / Himeshirone ヒメシロネ

 
Lycopus maackianus is a perennial herb growing 30-70cm tall in mountain wetlands. Leaves are in an opposite arrangement, slender, thick, glossy, in the shape of a lanceolate, or a bit wide, 4-8cm long, with sharp serrations on margins. White lip-shaped flowers come in mass at the leaf axils - not flashy, but not plain. Bloom time: August-October.
