''Aristolochia gigantea'' (Brazilian Dutchman's Pipe, Giant Pelican Flower; syn. ''Aristolochia sylvicola'' Standl.) is an ornamental plant native to Brazil, typical of Bahia and Minas Gerais vegetation. It has spectacular but foul smelling flowers and can be grown from seeds or by cuttings. This plant is cited in Flora Brasiliensis by Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius. ''A. gigantea ''and other tropical Dutchman's Pipe varieties pose a threat to the Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly. The butterfly confuses ''A. gigantea ''with its native host plant and will lay eggs on it although Pipevine Swallowtail caterpillars cannot survive on the foliage.〔"Aristolochia gigantia: A Death Sentence for Pipevine Swallowtails" by Guest Photographer, June 8. http://www.monarchbutterflygarden.net/aristolochia-gigantea-kills-pipevine-swallowtails/〕 Image:AristolochiaGigantea.jpg Image:AristolochiaGiganteaVine.jpg ==See also== * ''Aristolochia erecta'' – Swanflower * ''Aristolochia grandiflora'' - Pelican Flower * ''Aristolochia labiata'' (or ''A. brasiliensis'') - Rooster Flower * ''Aristolochia nana'' - Tiny Pelican Flower * ''Aristolochia ornithocephala'' – Bird's Head Pipevine 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aristolochia gigantea」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
