The "Kameba-hikiokoshi" (Isodon umbrosus var. leucanthus f. kameba) belongs to Laminceae (the Mint family). It is a perennial herb that is native from Chubu district to southern Tohoku district of Japan. This herb grows in woodland margines and can reach 60-90 cm in height. The leaves are ovate-round with acute teeth and trilobate tips - the center lobe elongates like a turtle's tail. The spikes are borne in terminal branches and the blue-purple labiate flowers bloom from September to October. The corolla is somewhat small, measuring 8 to 10 mm in length. Specimens with leaves that are ovate to narrowly ovate and do not have a three-lobed tip are "Koushin-yamahakka".
