Formerly known ast begins flowering at two or three years of age. The species name, tabularis, means table, also a reference to the size of the leaves, while one of the common names, shield-leaf, describes the shield-like appearance of the foliage. It is the only species within the genus Astilboides.
Native to the humid valleys and hillsides of northern and eastern China, Manchuria, and North Korea, it was first described in English in 1887. In its native habitat, it has long been used in the treatment of diabetes and grows in moist woodlands and near lakes and streams. It is much hardier than what many publications suggest and performs much better in the Prairies than further south.
