Large Hinano Usutsubo - Large Hinano Usutsubo

A perennial plant of the Scrophulariaceae family (APG classification: Scrophulariaceae). Several roots swell and become spindle-shaped. The stems are upright and grow to about 1 meter in height. The leaves are ovate with many sawtooth edges. In summer, panicles form at the top and many flowers bloom. The corolla is dark reddish purple and urn-shaped. The capsule is ovate. It grows on the forest edges and grasslands of mountainous areas, and is distributed from Hokkaido to Kyushu and the Korean Peninsula. It is named after the fact that it resembles Hinano Usutsubo but is more magnificent. It is closely related to the Chinese medicinal plant S. ningpoensis Hemsl.
