A perennial vine of the Convolvulaceae family. The vine can reach up to 30m in length, is semi-woody, and has palmate, 5-7 deeply lobed leaves that grow alternately. One to several funnel-shaped, gamopetalous, yellow flowers grow at the base of the leaves early in the morning and wilt within a few hours. After flowering, the sepals continue to grow while still encasing the fruit, then dry out, become woody, and spread in all directions, resembling roses, hence the name wood rose. Wood roses are often used as dried flowers, and are actively cultivated in Hawaii as tourist souvenirs. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
ヒルガオ科の多年生つる植物。つるは長さ30mにも及び,半木質状で,掌状の5~7深裂した葉が互生する。花は葉のもとに1~数花つき,漏斗状の合弁花で黄色,朝早く咲き数時間でしぼむ。花の終わったあと萼片が果実を包んだまま大きくなり,そののち乾燥し木質化して四方へひろがりバラの花のような感じとなるので,ウッドローズの名がある。ウッドローズはドライフラワーとしてよく用いられ,ハワイでは観光みやげとしての生産栽培も盛んである。
