Nanocnide japonica,
a perennial herb 10-30cm in height, grows in
colonies in fields and mountains under the shade of a tree. Leaves
are arranged in an alternate pattern, 1-3cm in length and width,
with a rhomb-like ovate shape and deep serrations on the margins.
The species is monoecious: male inflorescences set themselves in
axils on upper parts, with long peduncles, while females lack
peduncles and are not conspicuous. Bloom time: April-May. |
