Chameleon Plant Initially, I thought that this flower might be a yerba mansa plant or lizard tail (Anemopsis californica). However, since yerba mansa is native to California, it’s not likely to be growing in the wild here in Japan. Further exploration revealed that this is most likely a chameleon plant (Houttuynia cordata), which is native to Japan and goes by several other names: Chinese lizard tail, fish mint, fish leaf, fish wort, heart leaf, or rainbow plant.
