Diaspananthus uniflorus (Sch.‐Bip.) Kitam.

Japanese: クサヤツデ(草八手) - クサヤツデ(英語表記)Diaspananthus uniflorus (Sch.‐Bip.) Kitam.
Diaspananthus uniflorus (Sch.‐Bip.) Kitam.
It is a perennial plant of the Asteraceae family found west of Kanagawa Prefecture, on the Pacific coast of the Kinki region, in Shikoku, and Kyushu, and is endemic to Japan (illustration). Its other name, Yoshinosou, comes from the fact that it is common in Mount Yoshino in Nara Prefecture, which is the center of its distribution, and its other names, Kusayatsude and Kanbokusou, come from the fact that its palmate leaves resemble those of the Fatsia japonica (Araliaceae) and the Kanboku (Caprifoliaceae). The rhizome grows horizontally, and the base of the previous year's flower stalk remains as a node. The leaves have long stalks and grow in large bundles from the base of the stem. In autumn, the flower stalks grow and produce large panicles.
