聖心坂の手前にあるユズリハが新葉と雄花序を伸ばしていました。雄花は花弁やがくがなく、紫色の葯が目立ちます。和名は新葉が出てから、古い葉を落とすことに由来します。


A "Yuzuriha (ユズリハ)" tree just by the Seishin bridge is sprouting new leaves and male inflorescences. Its male flowers have no petals or sepals, so the purple anthers are outstanding. The name comes from the fact that they let their old leaves fall after their new leaves grow.
