Habitat

It grew on a tree on Mt. Nagataki in Mikurashima Island. Since it was December and the flowering season had passed, the inflorescences were dead. Nagatakiyama cannot be entered without a guide. It was fun hiking while learning about various birds, flowers, and moss from a knowledgeable guide.
