Frascomo - Flascomo

Japanese: フラスコモ - ふらすこも
Frascomo - Flascomo

A general term for the genus Charophyte, a group of green plants called Charophytes. It can be distinguished from the other Charophytes in that the internode cells have no cortex, the antheridium is located at the top of the branchlets, and the crown cells of the egg-laying organs are in two rows. There are about 50 species of Charophyte in Japan, but most of them are shade plants that prefer low light. N. flexilis Ag. var. longifolia and N. flexilis Ag. var. flexilis grow in pure colonies at depths of 6 to 10 meters mainly in lakes and marshes from central Honshu to Hokkaido. It is these species of Charophyte that form the vertical distribution of the lakes and marshes. N. megacarpa All. var. japonica Imah. is a species endemic to Japan, growing in warm regions.

Japanese:

緑色植物、車軸藻(しゃじくも)類フラスコモ属の総称。同じ車軸藻類であるシャジクモ属とは、節間細胞に皮層がないこと、小枝の節では造精器が上位につくこと、生卵器の小冠細胞が二列になることなどで区別できる。フラスコモ属は日本で約50種ほどが産するが、ほとんどは弱光を好む陰生植物である。オオフラスコモN. flexilis Ag. var. longifoliaとヒメフラスコモN. flexilis Ag. var. flexilisはおもに本州中部から北海道にかけての湖沼の水深6~10メートルあたりに純群落をつくって生育する。湖沼の垂直分布で、車軸藻帯をつくるのはこれらのフラスコモの仲間である。なお、ニッポンフラスコモN. megacarpa All. var. japonica Imah.は暖地産の日本特産種である。
