Sekkaniwazekishou is the
Japanese name for a Sisyrinchium species, likely
originating in North America; however, no official
identification has been made. This plant grows wild in sunny
grasslands or lawns in various districts. The perianth lobes,
which are the segments of the flower that look like petals, are
white and taper to sharp points, with yellow bases that merge
together and a single stripe running down the center of each.
The three stamens, which are the pollen-producing parts, do not
protrude from the corolla tubes, the fused parts of the petals.
The fruit is nearly spherical and measures 3.5–4 mm long. This
plant blooms from May to July.
