Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox

Aesculus turbinata, common name Japanese horse-chestnut (Шаблон:Nihongo), is native to Japan but cultivated elsewhere. It is a tree up to Шаблон:Convert tall. Flowers are white to pale yellowish with red spots. Capsules are dark brown, obovoid to pyriform.[1][2] The seeds were traditionally eaten, after leaching, by the Jōmon people of Japan over about four millennia, until 300 AD.[3] Today the seeds are used in Japanese cuisine to prepare "Tochimochi".

Etymology

Aesculus was named by Linnaeus, and the name is derived from the Roman name, aesculus, of the durmast oak.[4]

Turbinata means ‘conical’, ‘turbinate’, or ‘top-shaped’.[4]
