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.
