聖心坂の近くの森でアオキが咲いていました。林内でよく見られる低木として、生物基礎の教科書でも紹介されています。和名は、常緑樹で、枝も緑であることに由来します。雌雄異株で、写真は雄花です。


An "Aoki (アオキ)" tree is in bloom in a forest near the "Seishin Zaka(聖心坂)". In a basic-biology textbook, they are known as a low tree often seen in forests. The name comes from the fact that they are an evergreen tree and their branches are also green. They are dioecious and the photo above shows the male flowers.
