Japanese term

u no hana

Japanese to English Science Botany
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

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

agree Minoru Kuwahara : guess good rephrasing, Kawamura-san. -
