EGONOKI='EGO'+'NOKI'.'NOKI' means 'tree', so names of many tree in Japan include this word. For instance, KAKINOKI, SHARANOKI, SAKURANOKI, ....
The home of EGONOKI is Japan.
And by wikipedia, english name is Japanese snowbell.I don't know it is correct or not.
The flowers in spring are lot. The shape likes bell.
The color is white, sometime pink(called 'BENIBANA EGONOKI').
In autumn, many seed hang from the narrow branches. The seeds contain saponin, so the seed tasts very bitter. In japanese, tast like that says 'EGOI'. This is the origin of the japanese name.

wanna introduce plants you can see in Tokyo, Japan.
I guess many tourists to Tokyo which love plants can not find out plant -guidebooks of Tokyo in their home.
It is because Tokyo is a representative of urban business cities in the world, not the place like Alps, Hawaii etc.
But If you would come here, you will see many kinds of plants in parks , along streets and the others.
Taking the photos of plants is my pastime.
This is the reason I will try to introduce them.
