 オオバチドメが咲いています。湿った林床などに見られるウコギ科の多年草です。近い仲間にオオチドメと呼ばれるものもあり、名前が似ていてまぎらわしいですが、オオバチドメの葉はオオチドメの倍以上に大きくなります。



"Oochidome" plants are in bloom. They are perennial plants in the Araliaceae family that grow on slightly moist forest floors. A close relative species, called "Oochidome," has a similar name, which can be confusing. However, the leaves of "Oobachidome" grow more than twice as large as those of "Oochidome".
