クマノミズキ
共生の森でクマノミズキが咲いています。花は近縁のミズキととてもよく似ていますが、クマノミズキは葉が1か所から２枚出る対生で、ミズキは葉が互い違いに出る互生です。また花期もクマノミズキのほうが1か月ほど遅いため、見分けるのは容易です。
"Kumano-Mizuki (クマノミズキ)" trees are in bloom in the Kyoseinomori-Forest (共生の森). Their flowers are really similar to those of their close relative species "Mizuki (ミズキ)". However, while "Kumano-Mizuki (クマノミズキ)" trees have opposite leaves, "Mizuki (ミズキ)" trees have alternate leaves. In addition, the flower periods of "Kumano-Mizuki (クマノミズキ) trees usually start to bloom one month later than "Mizuki (ミズキ)" trees so you can identify them easily.
