ヨツバムグラが咲いています。日当たりの良い草地や明るい林内などに見られる多年草です。花は小さくあまり目立ちませんが、キャンパス内ではさまざまな場所で見ることができます。和名のヨツバは葉が４枚輪生することに由来します。

"Yotsuba-Mugura" plants are in bloom. They are perennial plants growing in sunny grass fields and forests. They are not so noticeable because their flowers are small, but they grow in many places on our campus. "Yotsuba" in its name means "four leaves" and it comes from the fact that they have four verticillate leaves.
