 裏道でダンドボロギクが見られます。北アメリカ原産の帰化植物ですが、和名は日本では愛知県の段土山（だんどさん）で見つかったことに由来します。花は筒状花のみからなり、あまり目立ちませんが、花後の綿毛がよく目立ちます。

You can find "Dando-Borogiku (ダンドボロギク)" plants on the back road. They originally came from North America, but they were named after the "Dando" mountain in Aichi prefecture where they were first found in Japan. The flowers consist of only tubular flowers so they do not stand out very much but the fluffs are quite visible after the flowers have bloomed.
