スズメノヤリ

"Suzume-No-Yari" plants are in bloom on the artificial hill. They are perennial plants in the Juncaceae family that are commonly found growing along roadsides. The name comes from the shape of the flowers, which resemble the "Keyari" and was used in daimyo's procession during the Edo era.

スズメノカタビラ

 お茶畑の周りでスズメノカタビラが咲いています。道端や芝生に混じって生えるイネ科の一年草です。和名の「スズメ」は全体が小さいことを示し、「カタビラ」は薄い着物のことで、花の形が着物の合わせの部分に似ていることに由来します。

"Suzume-No-Katabira" plants are in bloom by the tea garden. They are annual grasses in the
Poaceae family that grow along roadsides and among other grasses. The name "Suzume" (sparrow) refers to their small size, while "Katabira", which means a thin kimono, comes from the way their flowers resemble overlapping kimono collars.

ヘビイチゴ

「共生の森」の近くでヘビイチゴが咲いています。落葉樹林の林床や草地に生えるバラ科の多年草です。普通種ですが、近縁のヤブヘビイチゴやその雑種と紛らわしい個体もあるので注意が必要です。
"Hebiichigo" plants are in bloom near the "Kyosei-Forest (共生の森)." They are perennial plants in the Rosaceae family that grow on the floors of deciduous forests and in grasslands. Although this species is quite common, care is needed when identifying it because some individuals closely resemble a relative species called "Yabu-Hebiichigo," as well as hybrids between the two.

On our campus, they start to bloom in February. The name means “pheasant's straw mat” and comes from the shape of leaves that spread outward radially after their flowering period.

ヒメウズ

聖心坂でヒメウズが咲いています。道端などに生えるキンポウゲ科の多年草です。和名のウズはトリカブトを意味し、葉や果実がトリカブトに似ていていることに由来します。
