Eriocaulon taquetii / Nippon'inunohige ニッポンイヌノヒゲ

 
Eriocaulon taquetii: An annual herb that occurs in wetlands; many come out in clusters, 10-20cm long, 5-8cm broad, in a lanceolate-like linear shape, somewhat thick, and glossy. Flower stalks are 5-ridged, twisted in a way, and grow to 15-22cm long in height. The bases embrace themselves with 5-9cm long sheaths. Flower heads singly appear on the tips - 6-8mm-in-diameter hemispherical, and involucral bracts are lanceolate with pointed tips far longer than the flower heads. Male flowers put themselves in the center of the flower heads, and females around the males. Buds and calyxes are green-white. Bloom time: August-September.
