(Washino o, Esveld; Washi no o, MrMaple) While 鷲の尾, Washi-no-o, lit. means "Eagle's Tail," it more naturally and evocatively means "Plumage of an Eagle's Tail." This is not a stretched translation, because when referring to birds, 尾 naturally refers to plumage. (ED)

Washi-no-o (syn. Palmatifidum in the West) is a strongly cascading green laceleaf. The leaves are coarser and less divided than Viridis, but this hardy plant can withstand harsh conditions. Washi no o has excellent yellow and orange fall color. (Eagle tail) (DSN, as Washi no o)
