駐車場近くでオニドコロが咲いていました。植え込みなど、身近なところでもよく見られるつる植物です。近縁のヤマノイモと似ていますが、つるの巻く方向が逆向きです。また写真のように雄花の花序が立ち上がることは、近縁のヒメドコロと見分ける特徴になります。


"Oni-Dokoro (オニドコロ)" plants are in bloom near the parking area. They are vine plants that are often seen in common places like bushes. The way their vines twine is opposite directions compared to their relative species "Yamanoimo (ヤマノイモ)". As you can see in the photo, you can tell them from other relative species "Hime-Dokoro (ヒメドコロ)" by the fact that their spikes of male flowers grow straight up.
