Teucrium japonicum / Nigakusa ニガクサ

 
Teucrium japonicum, a perennial plant 30-70 cm in height, is found in semi-shady, damp locations, characterized by slender underground runners. 5-10cm long and 2-3.5cm wide, leaves are of opposite phyllotaxis, in an oval-like, oblong, or broad lanceolate form, with sharp tips and margins with uneven serrations—veins on the upper surfaces dent themselves significantly, which is conspicuous. Branch tips bear 3-10 cm long inflorescences that set small, light red flowers. Corollas measure 1-1.2cm in length. Bloom time: July-September.
