{{Inc|
Rohdea japonica, Roth. Root a long nearly cylindric root- stock with
fleshy fibers: lvs. typically green, 9-12 in a rosette, erect,
oblanceolate: berry about the size of a small olive, with a red pulp.
B.M. 898 (as Orontium japonicum). Gn. 30, p. 541.—The following
varieties, which differ in shape and color of the lvs., have been
offered by Dutch bulb-growers: Vars. aureo-striata, falcata,
latimaculata, macrophylla, marginata minor, pygmaea, zebrina.—This
plant known as Omoto or Mannensei is a favorite among the Japanese,
and fine specimens often bring as much as $500, even when only a few
inches high. The seven standard varieties of Japan are Hinomoto,
Nagashima, Kyuanji, Shikami, Daimyosei, Jindai, and Akitsushima.
Retired persons of means often spend their declining years in the
culture of this interesting plant, of which hundreds of named
varieties are known to Japanese fanciers. A number of very beautiful
books have been written on this plant, and it has an extensive
literature. This plant is well known in China and was adopted by the
Manchus as their national flower. L. H. B.
