Wasabia tenuis / Yuriwasabi ユリワサビ

 
Wasabia tenuis is a perennial that occurs in damp places along mountain streams; stems crawl on the ground, and the upper parts diagonally grow to 20-30cm in height. Rhizomes are short and radical leaves with long petioles, are in the shape of an orbicular-ovate or renal-circular, 2-5cm across, with bases cordate and wavy serrations on margins. On-stem leaves are small-sized and have alternate phyllotaxis. Stem tips give racemes and set approximately 1cm-in-diameter white 4-petaled flowers in them. Bloom time: March-May.
