オオチドメが咲いています。芝地などで普通に見られるウコギ科の多年草です。和名は、葉や茎を揉んで得られた汁を止血に用いたことに由来します。



"Oochidome (オオチドメ)" plants are in bloom. They are perennial plants in the Araliaceae family that commonly grow in grassy areas. The name “Oochidome” comes from their traditional use-  juice extracted from their leaves and stems was used to stop bleeding.
