They are a perennial plant that grows in the pool of forests in the forests in the mountain districts. (Perennial plant takes several years to grow). They expand black-purple vine to the vegetation in that area to twine around it. They grow in the fields like Vigna unguiculata (Leguminosae) which is edible do. Therefore, they are named after this. The flower is about 1.5 to 2 cm long with the top being like a butterfly-shaped. On inflorescence (Kajo: stalk blooming flowers) grown from the side of the leaf, about 3 to 10 flowers to bloom downward. The calyx at the root of the flowers is a cylindrical shape in pale lime green color with sepal split shallow. The leaf consists of 3 leaves as one and grows alternative on the stalk. Lobules are long egged-shaped about 3 to 15 cm long (Shoyo: each one that is leaf-shaped and leaf like one consisting of more than a few leaves). The characteristic of the leaf is thin and sparse paraphyllium grows with the back white-fleshed. When the flowers wither, they bear the hull-shaped seeds. When matured, the seeds are split out spherical seedling dangling, about 5 mm in diameter.

The flower is about 2 cm long with the top being like a butterfly-shaped. The whitish edge of the flower petal is dark purple color and some are on inflorescence (Kajo: stalk blooming flowers) grown from the side of the leaf. Another characteristic is that except this flower, they have cleistogamous flower (Heisaka: the flower which does not blossom but pollinates itself) both on the ground and at the underground stem. The leaf consists of 3 as one and grows alternative. Lobules are wide egged-shaped about 3 to 6 cm long (Shoyo: each one that is leaf-shaped and leaf like one consisting of more than a few leaves) has paraphyllium to grow.

Though they resemble Cimicifuga japonica in the same group, the good difference to distinguish is that Cimicifuga simplex’s leaves differ from the ones of Cimicifuga japonica, and Cimicifuga simplex’s flowers have a stalk about 1 cm long. The leaf consists three as one named compound leaf, with a long stalk growing alternative to stem. Lobules (Shoyo: each one that is leaf-shaped and leaf like one consisting of more than a few leaves) is egged-shaped about 3 to 8 cm long, has a sharp tip and with spiny sawtooth at the edge (Kyoshi: tooth-like rough part like a saw at the root of a leaf). How they are named is people boiled the fresh leaves and immersed them in ice water to eat, and then they are called ‘Cimicifuga simplex’ (Sarashina-shoma). Shoma is a Chinese name.

They are perennial plant that grows in clusters in the river bank, footpath between rice fields, and graveyards (Perennial plant takes several years to grow). It is thought that they were imported from ancient China. The reason for their name is that around the time of autumn during equinoctial week, they bear bright red flowers. They also have another name ‘Lycoris radiata’ which means the unworldly red flower in the Lotus Sutra. At the top of the upright-growing flower stalk (Kakei: stem of flower bearing only flowers without leaves) sprouting from the bulb (Rinkei: a modified leaf by nutrient accumulation being attached firmly to short stalk), 5 to 7 flowers bloom in a cluster. The flower has 6 thin flower petals about 4 centimeters long rolled back and a male stamen projects long. No leaves sprout during blooming, grow in latest autumn, pass the winter through, and wither in the next spring. The leaf is thin and long about 30 to 60 cm long, 6 to 8 mm wide. The leaves are dark shiny green color with the center in whitish color along the leaf vein. Entire portions of this plant contain poisonous elements, especially much in discoid stem (bulb).

The leaf is thin and long elliptically-shaped, about 3 to 7 cm long, about 1 to 1.5 cm wide with the sharp top and also the root portion attaching like holding the stalk. The reason for their name is that the shape of the leaf looks like bamboo grass and that the leaves get wrinkled at the edge as if they crispate. This is why they are named ‘Oplismenus undulatifoliu’ (Chizimizasa). They grow Scape (Kakei: the stem with only flowers and no leaves) about 10 to 15 cm from the top of the stem, and then develop 6 to 10 of short branches with some white dense spikelet (Shosui: a part of plant) in cluster. Spikelet is thin egged-shaped about 3 mm long, has an acerate protruding object called ‘awn’ (Nogi), which is typical among the group of Gramineae. When the matured seeds are easy to get off from spikelet (Shosui), and they excrete a sticky liquid from awn (Nogi), so that they can be attached to animals and human being on the clothes to be carried.

Their blossom seasons are about March to April, and a dioecious plant (Shiyuuisyu). They grow a male flower at the root of the leaf of the branch that grew the previous year, and a female flower at the top of the leaf. Next autumn, the seeds get matured to turn into red-purple color. In case that a part of the plant’s Japanese name is dog, it usually means it’s of no use. This small arboreal plants are similar to Torreya nucifera, they are inferior to Torreya nucifera.

They are a deciduous tall tree that bears needle-like leaves. The trunk grows to be about 1.2 m wide, and is often planted for garden trees and windbreak forests. Cortex is tinged with red, therefore, they are named ‘Pinus densiflora’ (Akamatsu). Though they look like Pinus thunbergii Parlatore (Kuromatsu) in the same group of Pinaceae, the leaves of Akamatsu are rather thin and soft. This fact results in calling Kuromatsu by ‘male pine tree’ and Akamatsu by ‘female pine tree’. They survive to grow even at arid and poor soil to grow wild along the ridge of a plateau located around 2,000 m above sea level. Decades ago, we used to see Akamatsu even at Mt. Takao, but nowadays we seldom see them. The blossom seasons are about April to May and hermaphroditism plant (Shiyuudousyu). Yellow male flowers sprout on a new branch, while 2 to 3 of purple-red female flowers sprout at the limb of the branch.
