ホシダ
ヒノキ林の林縁にホシダが見られます。明るい林縁や道端などによく見られる常緑のシダ植物です。よく似た仲間が多いですが、葉の裏面の葉脈が見分けるときのポイントになります。和名は穂シダの意味で、葉の先端が穂状に長く伸びる様子に由来します。
"Hoshida (ホシダ)" fern plants are found on the edge of the Japanese cypress woodland. They are the evergreen fern plants that commonly grow in sunny areas along forest edges and roadsides. There are many relative species of the "Hoshida" ferm, but you can distinguish this one by examining the leaf veins on the back of their leaves. The name comes from the fact that the tips of their leaves grow long, resembling a spike.
