This is an abridged Japanese version of my paper originally written in English, entitled "A Note on the Concept of Plant and Tree," which is to be published in the Festschrift Professor Padmanabh S. Jaini (Lund). It is evident that the author has been greatly inspired by, and consequently much indebted to the writings of Professor L. Schmithausen, particularly by his monograph The Problem of the Sentiency of Plants in Earliest Buddhism (Tokyo 1991). There are, however, some newly added portions here in this Japanese version. These areas follows. (1) The last chapter (the Merit of Planting of Trees=vrksa-ropa). (2) Newly added textual materials (Notes 1-10). (3) Newly added secondary literatures (marked with asterisk in Bibliography). For convenience sake, below is given a table of contents of this paper. Introduction Chapter I. Sthavara, tree-worship. Chapter II. Plants (trna) and Trees (vrksa) in Indian Literature. Chapter III. Plants and Trees as Living Beings. Chapter IV. The Sense-organs of Plants and Trees (ekendriya in Buddhist Vinaya and pancendriya in MBh.) Chapter V. Tree-dohada (Mallinatha ad Meghaduta 74, Vrksayurveda, etc.) Chapter VI. Asvattha and Udumbara (MBh. 3. 115) Chapter VII. Merit attributed to the Planting of Trees (MBh. 13. 99)
