| Pilea japonica is an
annual herb, 10-20cm in height, growing in damp, shady places in
mountainous regions. The stems are weak, tinging brown. Leaves, with
petioles, are opposite, in the shape of a broadly ovate, 4-6cm in
length, with short tail-like tips, and with coarse serrations on
margins. Leaf axils on upperparts emerge 2-3cm-long peduncles with
dense light green flowers, mingling with each other. Bloom
September-October. |
