Achlys japonica

Achlys japonica is a perennial herb distinguished by its trifoliate, glossy leaves and delicate sprays of tiny white flowers which appear in early summer. Typically found in the understory of moist, shady forests, achlys japonica thrives in humid environments, which supports its lush foliage. This habitat preference also protects the tender flowers from excessive sunlight, enabling a prolonged flowering period.
