Perilla frutescens nankinensis
All purple leaf plant. Leaves are toothed & opposite. Stems are square but also purple. Must self seed as it appears in isolated groups in this area.
Seen here under shade in mixed forest.
May be very pretty in a select contained location, but reportedly some people see it as an invasive weed.

Nope don't think this one would be part of your healthy diet... Look at other pics.
Looks like the purple cabbage at the store :D
