苔桃(コケモモ) cowberry

　あちらこちらの岩陰に、自生して群落を作っていました。コケモモは草に見えますが実は木です。

　木と草の違いは、大きい小さいに関係なく、地上部が何年も生き延びるのが木です。

　Cowberries were growing wild and forming colonies behind rocks here and there. It looks like grass, but it is actually a tree.

　The difference between trees and grasses is that, regardless of the size of the plant, the trees have the above-ground part lives for many years.
