Conandron ramondioides is a species of flowering plant in the family Gesneriaceae. It is native to eastern Asia, where it is found in China , Japan , and Taiwan.[1] Its natural habitat is on damp rock faces, in forests and along streamsides.[2][1] It is a common species in Japan.[3]
It is a perennial, growing to ~30 cm tall. It has large basal leaves. Flowers are purple and produced in the summer.[1][3]
Its Japanese name (岩煙草) is "rock tobacco", in reference to the resemblance of its leaves to tobacco, and its preference to grow on exposed rock.[4]
