Grey Field-speedwell
です。
この英語名でのその歴史的な解説は、
「At first glance grey field speedwell resembles green field speedwell (V. agrestis), which is irregularly small-leaved and is Finland’s most common representative of limp-stemmed, small-flowered speedwells. Green field speedwell’s flowers, however, are almost white and its seed capsules have only glandular hairs. Another speedwell that grows especially in gardens, fields and vegetable patches in the Åland Islands is broadsepal speedwell (V. opaca), which is clearly hairier than grey field speedwell, and its leaves are shallow-toothed. Just to be sure, other differences are that grey field speedwell’s calyx lobes are broadly ovate, tapered, and overlapping at the edges while the plant is fruiting, while broadsepal speedwell’s have blunt tips, are clearly narrower, and don’t cover one another.」
