also: のみのふすま
bog chickweed
A small flowering plant (Stellaria uliginosa var. undulata) found in wet areas. The name is usually written in katakana.
I found bog chickweed in the marsh.
Kanji form; rarely used in modern writing. The reading のみのふすま is also possible, but ノミノフスマ is the standard pronunciation.
The name literally means 'flea's futon', from 蚤 (のみ, flea) + 衾 (ふすま, bedding), referring to the tiny leaves that resemble a flea's bed. The exact origin is uncertain, but it is a traditional Japanese plant name.
