::''This article is about ''Hacquetia'' the plant (both the genus, and its singular species), for the fish genus, see the article ''Hacquetia''.'' ''Hacquetia epipactis'' (syn. ''Dondia epipactis'' Spreng.) is a species of flowering plant of the Apiaceae family, native to moist, shady woodland habitats in Europe. The only species of its genus, it is a rhizomatous, clump-forming herbaceous perennial, growing to only about 5–10 cm in height, with glossy pale green leaves which only fully develop after flowering. The flowers, appearing late winter and early spring, consist of multiple tiny yellow florets framed by lime green bracts, and carried in dense spherical umbels 4 cm in diameter.〔(How to grow: Hacquetia epipactis - Telegraph )〕 It is easy to cultivate in Plant Hardiness Zones 5 to 7 according to the United States Department of Agriculture, and looks best as groundcover in a woodland setting which imitates its native habitat. This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.〔(RHS Plant Selector Hacquetia epipactis AGM / RHS Gardening )〕 Known cultivars include 'Thor' - a variegated variety. The name ''epipactis'' comes from a Greek word for plants thought to curdle milk. ==References== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hacquetia epipactis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
