 コチヂミザサが咲いています。林内など日陰に見られるイネ科の多年草です。和名のチヂミザサは葉がササの葉に似ていて、波打っていることに由来します。全体に毛が多いものをケチヂミザサと呼ぶのに対し、毛の少ないものをコチヂミザサと呼んでいます。

“Ko-Chidimizasa” plants are in bloom. They are perennial plants in the Poaceae family that grow in shady places such as forest understories. The name “Chidimizasa” comes from the wavy appearance of their leaves, which resemble those of Sasa plants. The hairier variety is called "Ke-Chidimizasa," while the less hairy one is known as "Ko-Chidimizasa".
