Cutleaf evening primrose (Oenothera laciniata) is native to North America, came to Japan at the end of 19th century and can now be found across Japan. Cutleaf evening primrose and fragrant evening primrose resemble each other and both turn orange as they wither but there's a big difference, that is, size, i.e., Cutleaf evening primrose is much smaller than fragrant evening primrose. Cutleaf evening primrose's Japanese name is "komatsuyoigusa," which translates into "small Oenothera." Easy to remember!

コマツヨイグサ（小松宵草）です。雌待宵草（メマツヨイグサ）とよく似ていますが、背丈が違う。低いのです。待宵草には140種ほどあるとのこと。すごい｡｡｡
