Iyofuro - Iyofuro

A perennial plant of the Geraniaceae family (APG classification: Geraniaceae). Also known as Shikokufuuro. The stems are 30-70 cm tall, and both the flower stalk and leaf stalk have slightly spreading downward hairs. The leaves are pentagonal oblate and slightly shallowly lobed. They flower from July to September, and produce crimson-purple flowers. Both the calyx and petal bases are hairy. They are found in mountainous areas from Honshu to Kyushu. A variety with fewer hairs is called Kaifuuro, and is found in Kai (Yamanashi Prefecture).
