Aster tataricus L.fil.

Japanese: シオン(紫菀) - シオン(英語表記)Aster tataricus L.fil.
Aster tataricus L.fil.
A perennial plant of the Asteraceae family (illustration). In Japan, it has been planted in gardens since the Heian period and used as a cut flower, and its roots are used medicinally. A variety is the dwarf Kozion. It grows upright stems about 1.5 to 2 meters tall, and in autumn it produces corymbs of wisteria-purple flower heads about 2.5 cm in diameter. The leaves are large and oblong-lanceolate with pointed tips, and grow at the base, but the stem leaves are small and alternate. It is distributed from Korea to Siberia and Mongolia, and grows wild in Kyushu and the Chugoku region of Japan, but it is not clear whether it is an original wild species or an introduced species that has become naturalized.

キク科の多年草(イラスト)。日本では古く平安時代より庭植えにして観賞され,また切花としても用いられるほか,その根は薬用として利用されている。変種に矮性(わいせい)のコジオンがある。高さ1.5~2mぐらいの茎を直立させ,秋に茎上に径2.5cmほどの藤紫色の頭状花を散房花序をなして咲かせる。葉は先のとがる長楕円状の披針形で大きく,根生するが,茎葉は小型で互生する。朝鮮からシベリア,モンゴルにかけて分布し,日本でも九州や中国地方に野生しているが,本来の野生品か,導入されたものが野生化したものかは,はっきりしない。
