Japanese term or phrase: u no hana
I guess it is a kind of tree peculiar to Japan, here is the sentence:
"The poets describe the hototogisu as lurking in the u no hana and the orange tree;"
Thanks in advance.

Flowers of the Deutzia crenata


Explanation:
(Though it does not fit the case here) "u-no-hana" in a different context, means "bean-curd-refuse".
