(1999). ''Trees of Britain and Europe''. Collins ISBN 0-00-220013-9.〕〔Den Virtuella Floran: (''Prunus spinosa'' map )〕 It is also locally naturalised in New Zealand and eastern North America.〔 ==Names== The specific name ''spinosa'' is a Latin term indicating the pointed and thornlike spur shoots characteristic of this species. The common name "blackthorn" is due to the thorny nature of the shrub, and its very dark bark. The word commonly used for the fruit, "sloe" comes from Old English . The same word is noted in Middle Low German, historically spoken in Lower Saxony, Middle Dutch ''sleuuwe'' or, contracted form, ''slē'', from which come Modern Low German words: ', ', and Modern Dutch ', Old High German ''slēha", "slēwa'', from which come Modern German ''ドイツ語:Schlehe'' and Danish '. The names related to 'sloe' come from the Common Germanic root *'. Cf. West Slavic / Polish '; plum of any species, including sloe '—root present in other Slavic languages, e.g. Croatian/Serbian ''šljiva'' / шљива. The expression "sloe-eyed" for a person with dark eyes comes from the fruit, and is first attested in A. J. Wilson's 1867 novel ''Vashti''.〔''Oxford English Dictionary''〕 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「Prunus spinosa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
