Verbascum thapsus / Birohdomouzuika ビロードモウズイカ

   
Verbascum thapsus: A biennial herb originating on the Mediterranean Coast, it has been naturalized in various parts of Japan, growing in dry riverbeds, wastelands, or roadsides, with stems extending 1-2 meters in height. Hairs on stems or leaves branch in a verticillate way, which characterizes this species. Leaves on the lower parts are about 30cm long and oblanceolate, and the upper part's leaves become smaller as they go upward. Stem tips emerge 20-50cm long racemes and densely set yellow flowers, and 2-2.5 cm-long corollas are cleft in five, with stellate hairs outside. Bloom time: August-September.
