Sherardia arvensis / Hanayaemugura ハナヤエムグラ

 

Sherardia arvensis, an annual herb originating in Europe, occurs in various places like wastelands or lawns but is challenging to find, growing to 30-60cm in height. Stems are square, with downward setae on the ridges. Leaves are in whorls of 4-6, in the shape of a narrowly lanceolate, with sparse, coarse hairs. Flowers are light red or purple, and involucres embrace those flowers, which characterize this species. Corollas measure about 5mm in diameter, about 3mm long, and have an aperture of four. Bloom time: May-September.
