Sarcanthus scolopendrifolius Makino
This is an evergreen perennial that grows on rocks and trees on the island of Jejudo and the southern coast of Korea. Its leaves are 7-10mm long, having the appearance of human fingers. Light pink flowers blossom one by one from the axil of the leaves from June to July, which resemble centipedes.
