フィールド日記

 校舎の裏でムラサキニガナが咲いています。やや湿った樹林内や林縁に生育する多年草で、1mほどに成長します。名前の通り、紫色の花が下向きに咲きます。茎や葉を切ると、白い乳液が出てきます。


"Murasaki-Nigana (ムラサキニガナ)" plants are in bloom behind the school building. They are perennial plants that grow up to about 1m in height in a little moist forests and on the edge of forests. "Murasaki (ムラサキ)" in its name means "purple" and as the name suggests, their flowers are purple. Cutting the stem or leaves, you will see milky juice coming from the cut end.
