ヤマハッカ
クヌギ林でヤマハッカが咲いていました。和名は山に咲くハッカという意味だと思われますがハッカのような匂いはありません。よく似た種にイヌヤマハッカがありますが、ヤマハッカの花びらには紫の点があることで区別することができます。
"Yamahakka" plants are in bloom in the Japanese chestnut oak woodland. The name means that they are plants looking like "Hakka (ハッカ)" that grow in mountains, but they don't smell like "Hakka" plants. There is a close relative plant called "Inu-Yamahakka," but you can tell "Yamahakka" from "Inu-Yamahakka" by checking purple spots on the petals of "Yamahakka" plants.
