Veratrum maackii var. japonicum / Shurosou シュロソウ

 
Veratrum maackii var. japonicum is a perennial plant that thrives in forests or damp grasslands in mountainous regions. It typically grows to a height of 50-100 cm and features withered leaf sheaths at the base. The lower part of the plant is adorned with oblong-shaped leaves, measuring 20-30 cm in length and 5-10 cm in width. These leaves are smooth, without hairs, and their bases embrace the stems in a sheath-like manner. At the top of the stems, slender panicles emerge, showcasing numerous dark purplish-brown flowers. Female flowers are located on the lower parts of the panicle, while bisexual flowers are on the upper sections.
