Omphalodes japonica / Yamarurisou ヤマルリソウ

 
Omphalodes japonica,  a perennial, occurs in the shade of a tree or on roadsides in hilly districts, the whole being abundant in divaricate hairs. Radical leaves are numerous, measuring 12-15 cm in length and 2-3 cm in width, and are lanceolate with wavy margins. On-stem leaves embrace the stems at the base, and the stem tips form racemes that open to about 1 cm in diameter and produce light blue-purple flowers from one to another; afterward, the peduncles droop from April to May.
