A perennial plant of the Orobanchaceae family (APG classification: Orobanchaceae). Also known as kimuratake. In Japan, it parasitizes the roots of the Miyama alder. The stem is 15-30 cm tall, dark brown and thick, with dense yellowish brown scale leaves. In July and August, spikes form on the upper half of the stem and dark red-purple lip-shaped flowers bloom. It grows in forests in the subalpine and alpine zones of Honshu, north of the Chubu region, and Hokkaido, and is distributed from northern Asia to North America. The name comes from the use of the name for Cistanche salsa (CAMey) Beck, which is found in northwestern China. Kimuratake means golden essence mushroom, and the dried whole plant is called Japanese nikunikuyo, and has been prized as a tonic and aphrodisiac since ancient times. The calyx of the Onyx genus is cup-shaped, fused, and irregularly divided into five lobes. There is only one species in one genus. It parasitizes plants of the Alnus genus.
