Cynanchum
''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 ...
