Profile
Scientific name:	Epilobium nankotaizanense (Yamamoto)

Features:	Epilobium nankotaizanense are perennial herbal plants with elliptical or rounded leaves that grow opposite one another or in alternating clusters. Their purplish-red flowers have four petals and grow in terminal clusters between June and September, and their calyxes have four lobes each. A short plant, Epilobium nankotaizanense thrive on exposed rocky ground with abundant sunshine. When covering an expanse of land, they often look like a grassy lawn unless in blossom, in which case they appear as a magnificent purplish-red sea. Climbers are often entranced by their beauty at the same time that the plants are obstructing their paths.
Habitat:	Primarily distributed on Mount Nanhu and the Central Range Point, Epilobium nankotaizanense are rarely seen in other mountain areas.
