頂上に広がる草原


大山の頂上は激しい風の強大な影響を示しており、ほとんど雪がありません。その結果、山頂の植生はシコクフウロ、エゾノヨロイグサ、ダイセンキスミレ、イワカガミ、ヒゲノガリヤスなどのような高山植物が中心となっています。雪が多い場所や雪の吹き溜まりにはナンゴククガイソウ、シモツケソウ、サラシナショウマなどの花が、初夏に高山植物の花畑をつくります。

Alpine Meadows at the Summit


The summit of Mt. Daisen is frequently blasted by powerful winter winds, which prevent snow from accumulating. As a result, the vegetation here is dominated by alpine meadows containing species such as Shikoku-furo geranium (Geranium shikokianum), Ezonoyoroi-gusa angelica (Angelica sachalinensis), Daisen-kisumire violet (Viola brevistipulata subsp. minor), Iwakagami acony bell (Schizocodon (Shortia) soldanelloides), and Higenogariyasu reed grass (Calamagrostis longiseta). In depressions and other areas where snowdrifts have a better chance of accumulating, flowers such as Nangoku-kugaiso veronica (Veronicastrum japonicum var. australe), Shimotsukeso meadowsweet (Filipendula multijuga) and Sarashina-shoma bugbane (Cimicifuga (Actea) simplex) bloom in early summer, splashing the slopes with colorful alpine flowers.
