Japanese Hop
Japanese hop (Humulus japonicus) is an invasive climbing plant that flowers in late summer, releasing pollen that can cause allergic reactions. This pollen is a major contributor to seasonal allergies, particularly for those who are sensitive to it, with symptoms often becoming more severe in urban areas where the plant is more common.
