セキヤノアキチョウジ
セキヤノアキチョウジが咲いています。山地の林縁などに生えるシソ科の多年草です。和名は関屋の秋丁字の意味で、箱根の関所の近くで見つかったことに由来しますが、実際には関東と中部地方の太平洋側に分布しています。
"Sekiyano-Akicyouji (セキヤノアキチョウジ)" plants are in bloom. They are a kind of perennial plant belonging to the mint family and grow on the edge of forests in mountains. The name originally comes from the fact that this species was first found near the checkpoint in Hakone, Kanagawa. However, they actually grow in the Kanto region and on the Pacific coast of the Chubu region.
