White Skullcaps (Scutellaria Indica Var. Parvifolia F. Alba.) シロバナコバナタツナミ（白花小葉の立浪草）

英語の後に日本語が続きます。

Skullcaps usually produce purple flowers but they also have white ones (Scutellaria indica var. parvifolia f. alba). Their profile (i.e., appearance from the side) brings me happiness while reminding someone on the internet of "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai (1760–1849), which I agree with.

Small Skullcaps (Scutellaria Indica L. Var. Parvifolia (Makino) Makino) コバノタツナミ（小葉の立浪）

英語の後に日本語が続きます。

Small skullcaps (Scutellaria indica L. var. parvifolia (Makino) Makino) are native to Japan, Korea, China, and the Indochina Peninsula and can be found across Japan. Small skullcaps produce pale purple translucent flowers from May to June. 

Small skullcaps may require various conditions to grow. I've found the plant in only two places so far. Because of their unique shape, small skullcaps always remind me of Hattifatteners and I prefer their side view to the front!
