Diaspananthus uniflorus

Diaspananthus uniflorus or commonly called as kusa-yatsude (scientific name: Diaspananthus uniflorus) is a rather large perennial herb of the genus Diaspananthus in the family Asteraceae, endemic to Japan. It grows naturally in forests in Honshu-Shikoku and Kyushu. It is also known as Yoshinoso (Yoshino grass) because it grows abundantly on Yoshino Mountain. The plant is 40 to 110 cm tall. The leaf is 6-14 cm long, palmate, with 5-7 lobes and 2-3 more shallow lobes, similar to those of the lampreys. From September to November, it produces a long flower stalk (50 cm to 80 cm long), at the end of which grows a long conical inflorescence with a single reddish brown to purple head flower (tubular flower) inside the long, slender, tubular bract. The tips of the tubular part of the flower are 5-totally lobed and recurved.
