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.
