Apocynaceae Genera
Apocynaceae (from ''Apocynum'', Greek for "dog-away") is a family of flowering plants that includes trees, shrubs, herbs, stem succulents, and vines, commonly known as the dogbane family, because some taxa were used as dog poison Members of the family are native to the European, Asian, African, Australian, and American tropics or subtropics, with some temperate members. The former family Asclepiadaceae (now known as Asclepiadoideae) is considered a subfamily of Apocynaceae and contains 348 genera. A list of Apocynaceae genera may be found here. Many species are tall trees found in tropical forests, but some grow in tropical dry (xeric) environments. Also perennial herbs from temperate zones occur. Many of these plants have milky latex, and many species are poisonous if ingested, the family being rich in genera containing alkaloids and cardiac glycosides, those containing the latter often finding use as arrow poisons. Some genera of Apocynaceae, such as '' Adenium'', bleed clear ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tylophora Asthmatica
''Tylophora'' is a genus of climbing plant or vine, first described as a genus in 1810. It is native to tropical and subtropical Asia, Africa, and Australia. Most of the species are perennial lianas. The name is derived from the Ancient Greek ''tylos''/τυλος "knot", and ''phoros''/φορος "bearing". The genus was originally erected by Robert Brown for four species he described in Australia. It was placed originally in the former plant family Asclepiadaceae, which has now been demoted to subfamily status within the dogbane family Apocynaceae. ;Species ;formerly included moved to other genera ('' Belostemma, Cynanchum, Dregea, Gongronema, Heterostemma, Hybanthera, Lygisma, Pergularia, Sarcolobus, Sphaerocodon, Streptocaulon, Vincetoxicum ''Vincetoxicum'' is a genus of plants in the family Apocynaceae.

Cynanchum Atacamense
''Cynanchum'' is a genus of about 300 species including some swallowworts, belonging to the family Apocynaceae. The taxon name comes from Greek ''kynos'' (meaning "dog") and ''anchein'' ("to choke"), hence the common name for several species is dog-strangling vine. Most species are non-succulent climbers or twiners. There is some evidence of toxicity. Morphology These plants are perennial herbs or subshrubs, often growing from rhizomes. The leaves are usually oppositely arranged and sometimes are borne on petioles. The inflorescences and flowers come in a variety of shapes. Like other species of the milkweed family, these plants bear follicles, which are podlike dry fruits. Distribution These species are found throughout the tropics and subtropics. Several species also grow in temperate regions. Importance The root of '' Cynanchum atratum'' is used in Chinese traditional medicine and called ''Bai wei''. Several other species had traditional Chinese medicinal uses. ''Cynanc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
