Dicliptera japonica
The story
In Chinese culture, Dicliptera japonica is recognized by the striking name "九头狮子草," which translates to "nine-headed lion grass." This name connects the botanical world to the rich tapestry of Chinese language and imagery, where the powerful symbol of the lion is multiplied ninefold to describe a humble member of the Acanthaceae family.
