Siebold named Cochlearia (?) wasabi in 1830, noting its use pro condimento or "as a condiment";[9]:54 however, this is a nomen nudum, and the synonymEutrema wasabi, published by Maximovich in 1873,[10]:283 is thus an illegitimate name.[5]:133 The wasabi plant was first described by Miquel in 1866, as Lunaria (?) japonica, from the type collected by Siebold in Japan, though the precise type locality was not recorded.[3]:74
In 1899 Matsumura erected the genus Wasabia, recognising within it the species Wasabia pungens and Wasabia hederaefolia;[11] these are now regarded as synonyms of Eutrema japonicum.[5]:133 In 1912 Matsumura recognised the species Wasabia japonica, treating his earlier Wasabia pungens as a synonym.[12] In 1930, Koidzumi transferred the wasabi plant to the genus Eutrema,[13] the correct name and author citation being Eutrema japonicum (Miq.) Koidz.[1]
Description
It has large leaves produced from long, thin stalks.[6]:54 They are simple and large, 3–6 inches (7.6–15.2cm) long and 3–6 inches (7.6–15.2cm) wide with palmate veins.[14]
Flowering
Wasabi flowers appear in clusters from long stems that bloom from late winter to early spring.[14]
