Stachys sieboldii, Miq. (S. affinis, Bunge, not Fresenius. S tuberifera, Naudin). Chorogi. Chinese or Japanese Artichoke. Knotroot. Crosnes Du Japan. Fig. 3672. Erect hairy mint-like plant, growing 10-18 in. tall: lvs. ovate to deltoid-ovate to ovate-lanceolate, cordate at base, obtuse-dentate, stalked: fls. small, whitish or light red, in a small spike: tubers (Fig. 3672) 2-3 in. long, slender, nodose, white, produced in great numbers just under the surface of the ground. China, Japan. G.C. III. 3:13.—Sent to France in 1882 from Pekin by Dr. Bretschneider, and about ten years ago intro. into this country. It is cult. for the crisp tubers, which may be eaten either raw or cooked. These tubers soon shrivel and lose their value if exposed to the air. The tubers withstand the winter in Cent. N. Y. without protection, so that a well-established plant takes care of itself and spreads. For history, chemical analyses, etc., see Cornell Bull. No. 37. CH
