In Japan, it is a wild grass of 30-40 cm in plant height that grows naturally in the fields and fields of Hokkaido-Kyushu. The underground tubers are spherical with a diameter of 1 to 2 cm, and those dried after removing the cork layer become the raw material for the herbal medicine called 'hange'. Take 1 to 3 10-20 cm long rooted leaves from the tuber. Attach a small 3-5 mm diameter beadlet (mukago) to the center of the petiole and the base of the leaflets. The leaves consist of 4 small leaves. In summer, take out the flower stalk and attach a green flower innocence in the form of a green, scaly flower to the end of the flower stalk.
