Tengu Shide テングシデ Tengu Hornbeam
More than 100 trees in a forest in Oasa, Hiroshima.

大朝のテングシデ群落（おおあさのてんぐしでぐんらく）



北広島町大朝の田原・灰谷に自生するイヌシデの一種で、幹が曲がりくねり、枝がしなだれるなどの特徴を持った珍しい木です。最近の調査で、このテングシデの特有の形態は突然変異によって生じた変化であり、それが遺伝していることなどがわかりました。この珍しいテングシデが、大小100本以上群生していますが、日本では、突然変異によりできた木が代々群生しているところは少なく、とても貴重な地域です

The english name for shide is Hornbeam, and I must admit I have never heard of them.
... Apparently the tengu shide is a mutation and the only place in the world it grows is around Oasa. According to the local story, if you try climbing one of these trees a tengu will appear and throw you off.
