Oochidome - Oochidome

Japanese: オオチドメ - おおちどめ
Oochidome - Oochidome

A small perennial plant of the Umbelliferae family (APG classification: Araliaceae). The stem creeps long above the ground, and the branches stand up to a height of about 15 cm. The leaves are round, glossy, and shallowly incised. The flowers bloom from June to September in white heads with stalks longer than the leaves. It commonly grows in the mountains and fields from Hokkaido to Kyushu. It is also found on the Korean peninsula. It is named after the fact that it is larger overall than the Chidomegusa. It is also called Yamachidome. Nochidome H. maritima Honda is similar to this species, but the inflorescence stalks are shorter than the leaves.
