Schizocodon soldanelloides var. magnus / Ooiwakagami オオイワカガミ

 
Schizocodon soldanelloides var. magnus is an evergreen perennial herb found on beech forest floors in hilly districts. Rhizomes crawl on the ground and put some leaves in bundles at rooted points. The leaves, with long petioles, are circular, 8-12cm in length and width, leathery, and prominently glassy on surfaces, with many sharp serrations on margins. Flower stalks appear from among the leaves and set 3-10 light red to white flowers on the tips; corollas are funnel-shaped, cleft in five, and the lobe's ends finely cut in afresh. Bloom time: May-July.
