A perennial aquatic plant in the Nymphaeaceae family (APG classification: Nymphaeaceae). It blooms in August to October with yellow flowers measuring 3 to 4 centimeters in diameter. It grows in ponds from central Honshu westward to Kyushu. It resembles the water lily, but differs from the water lily in that its leaves are broadly elliptical, 5 to 11 centimeters long, float on the water surface, and the anthers of the stamens are short. Its Japanese name means "water lily in Oguraike Pond in Kyoto," but the pond no longer exists.

スイレン科(APG分類:スイレン科)の多年生の水草。8~10月に径3~4センチメートルの黄色い花を開く。本州中部以西から九州の池に生育する。コウホネに似るが、葉は広楕円(こうだえん)形、長さ5~11センチメートルで水面に浮かび、雄しべの葯(やく)が短いなどコウホネと異なる。和名は、京都の巨椋池(おぐらいけ)にあるコウホネの意味だが、池はいまはない。 [伊藤元巳 2018年6月19日] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
