Toadflax

This is toadflax or 'Hosoba-Unran'. We can see here and there. But this seems to be a naturalized plant, that is, there was no 'Hosoba-Unran' in Japan. Maybe this is why I couldn't find the name in botanical encyclopedias for a long time.







The botanical name is Linaria Vulgaris, and the meaning of the Japanese name is orchid having thin leaves.
