Symplocarpus nipponicus is
a perennial with short rhizomes in damp forest edges or wetlands in
mountainous regions. Radical leaves, with long petioles, are 10-20cm
long, 7-12cm wide, in the shape of an ovate-like- cordate or oblong.
Inflorescences (spadices) emerge from the plants' bases and cover
themselves with dark purple-brown, fleshy spathes (approximately 4
cm long, in the shape of something like a canoe). Many small
yellow-brown flowers bloom in the spadices in the spathes. Bloom
time: May-June. |
