Mai Men Dong is the name given to the white tuber of the Ophiopogon japonicus plant in TCM. Mai Men Dong translates as 'luxuriant winter' and is native to East Asia and Japan. It is cultivated as a ground cover and gorws to a height of 6-10 inces. The flowers are white and bloom at the end of summer before a small globe like deep blue berry appears. Historically the root has been known as a famine food.
