Kisumire - Kisumire

A perennial plant of the family Violaceae (APG classification: Violaceae). It has a short rhizome with thick white roots that grow in bundles. The stem is erect and 10-15 cm tall. It resembles Viola maxima, but its leaves are flat, the backs of the petals are purple, and the appendages of the sepals are clearly visible. In addition, while Viola maxima is distributed in Hokkaido and the high mountains of Honshu, Viola maxima is distributed from the Chubu region of Honshu to Kyushu, growing in bright places in spring and slightly dry places shaded by Japanese silver grass or bamboo in summer. It flowers from the end of March to early April. It is also distributed in the Amur region, northern China, and the Korean peninsula.
