Acanthopanax sieboldianus Makino
A deciduous shrub of the Araliaceae family thought to be native to China, but which is planted as hedges in mountain villages in Japan and sometimes grows wild. Also called Deutzia gracilis. It grows 1-2m tall, branches a lot, has needle-like thorns, and puts out roots where it touches the ground. Its leaves have 5 leaflets, are hairless, and have long petioles. In May and June, it produces umbels with long stalks at the ends of short branches, and produces many small pale green flowers. The new shoots are picked and eaten. The root bark is called gokahi and is used medicinally. Yamaukogi, Okaukogi, Urageukogi, Keyamaukogi, and Miyamaukogi are distributed in Japan and grow wild on the forest floor of secondary forests in hills and mountains.
