Japanese name: ホクリクネコノメ（北陸猫目） Scientific name:Chrysosplenium fauriei
[Overview]
A perennial about 10 cm tall, found in wet ground along streams.
The stolons creep along the ground, and the plant is hairless except at the leaf axils.
The leaves are of two kinds, basal leaves and leaves borne on the flower stalk and stolons; the basal leaves remain even at flowering time.
The leaves are round to elliptic with conspicuous veins and 6–10 pairs of blunt teeth on the margin.
The flower stalk bears no leaves, or a pair of simple leaves grows opposite.
The stolons extend after flowering.
A cyme is borne at the tip of the flower stalk.
The inflorescence has leaf-like, round to broadly elliptic bracts, which turn bright yellow at flowering.
The flowers have no petals.
There are 8 stamens, 3 mm long, far longer than the calyx.
The styles are 1–1.7 mm long.
The calyx is pale yellowish green and upright.
The fruit is a capsule that splits open when ripe, showing the seeds.
The seeds are broadly elliptic, with club-shaped projections arranged densely.
