“With sharp thorns”

White flowers blooming on the roadside. This wild grass is toxic and has sharp thorns, which is troublesome for humans. The Japanese name “Waru-nasubi” means bad eggplant. When I look at it, the expression of the flower feels a little terrifying. [JULY 2021]

Solanum carolinense

 

ワルナスビは茎や葉に鋭い棘があり、植物体全体が有毒です。夏に咲かせる白い花は黄色い蕊がよく目立ちます。
