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

 
Schizocodon soldanelloides var. magnus is an evergreen perennial herb found on the floors of beech forests in hilly districts. Rhizomes crawl on the ground and form bundles of leaves at their rooted points. The leaves, with long petioles, are circular, measuring 8-12cm in length and width, leathery, and prominently glossy on their surfaces, with many sharp serrations along their 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 lobes' ends are finely cut afresh. Bloom time: May-July.
