Mollugo stricta / Zakurosou ザクロソウ

 

llugo stricta: It is a 10-25cm tall annual. Many of the plants inhabit roadsides or fields, with leaves resembling those of Punica granatum (Zakuro, a small tree), which gives the Japanese name Zakurosou. The leaves are in the whorl (false verticillate) of two to three, each 1.5-5cm long, in the shape of a lanceolate or linear lanceolate. 3mm across, petal-less, whitish-green flowers come in a cymose arrangement. Sepals are 5 in number, and capsules are spherical. Bloom time: July-October.
