Giant Megasasou - Giant Megasasou

Herbaceous semi-shrub of the Araceae family. It resembles Umegasasou, but its leaves are oblanceolate, narrow at the base, and lack sawtooth. In July, it produces 3-9 scattered white flowers with 5 petals. It grows in forests on the Pacific coast north of Ibaraki Prefecture and near the coast of Hokkaido, and is widely distributed from the temperate zone to the subarctic zone of the Northern Hemisphere.
