Kameba Hikiokoshi - Kameba Hikiokoshi

Japanese: カメバヒキオコシ - かめばひきおこし
Kameba Hikiokoshi - Kameba Hikiokoshi

A perennial plant of the Lamiaceae family (APG classification: Lamiaceae) that grows in partial shade in mountainous areas. The stems are square and covered with downward-facing hairs. The leaves are opposite, oval, 5-10 cm long, and have a notched tail-like tip. From August to October, it produces sparse inflorescences that produce bluish-purple flowers. Occasionally, white flowers can also be found. The corolla is tubular and bilabial, 8-10 mm long. Its Japanese name comes from the resemblance of its leaves to a turtle, as it is a member of the Hikiokoshi family. It is found in central and northern Honshu. A variant, Hakusan Kameba Hikiokoshi, has large lobes with coarse sawtooth tips at the tips of its leaves, and is found in the western part of the Chubu region.
