A deciduous tall tree of the Fagaceae family (APG classification: Fagaceae). Its morphology is similar to that of the Sawtooth Oak. The bark is deeply incised vertically, and the cork layer is well developed and elastic, giving it the nickname of Cotton Oak, which is considered a substitute for cork. The undersides of the leaves are covered with dense stellate hairs and are gray-white in color. The nuts are nearly egg-shaped, with many parts exposed from the cupule, which distinguishes it from the Sawtooth Oak. Male inflorescences sometimes appear from the tops of the previous year's branches. It grows in the warm-weather zone west of Yamagata Prefecture, Shikoku, and Kyushu, and is widely distributed from Korea to China. The wood is heavy and of good quality, and it has the same uses as the Sawtooth Oak. "Abe" is a dialect word for burrs in Okayama Prefecture.

ブナ科(APG分類:ブナ科)の落葉高木。形態はクヌギに似る。樹皮は縦に深く切れ込み、コルク層がよく発達して弾力があり、ワタクヌギの別名があり、コルクの代用とされる。葉の裏面は星状毛を密生し、灰白色。堅果は卵形に近く、殻斗(かくと)から露出する部分が多いなどがクヌギとの区別点となる。雄花序が前年枝の上端から出ることもある。山形県以西、四国、九州の暖帯に生育し、朝鮮から中国まで広く分布する。材は重く良質で、クヌギと同様の用途がある。「アベ」は岡山県の方言で、アバタの意味といわれる。 [萩原信介 2020年1月21日] [参照項目] |樹皮はコルク層がよく発達し、これをコルクの代用とする©Shogakukan 撮影/田島 正"> アベマキ 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 |
