''Schinus terebinthifolia'' is a species of flowering plant in the cashew family, Anacardiaceae, that is native to subtropical and tropical South America (southeastern Brazil, northern Argentina, and Paraguay). It is found in these states of Brazil: Alagoas, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Pernambuco, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Norte, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, São Paulo, and Sergipe. Common names include Brazilian peppertree, aroeira, rose pepper, broadleaved pepper tree and Christmasberry.〔 (''Schinus terebinthifolius'' ) at (Instituto de Pesquisas e Estudos Florestais )〕 == Description == Brazilian peppertree is a sprawling shrub or small tree, with a shallow root system, reaching a height of 7–10 m. The branches can be upright, reclining, or nearly vine-like, all on the same plant. Its plastic morphology allows it to thrive in all kinds of ecosystems: from dunes to swamps, where it grows as a semiaquatic plant.〔Paulo Backes & Bruno Irgang, ''Mata Atlântica: as árvores e a paisagem'', Porto Alegre, Paisagem do Sul, 2004, page 102〕 The leaves are alternate, 10–22 cm long, pinnately compound with (3–) 5–15 leaflets; the leaflets are roughly oval (lanceolate to elliptical), 3–6 cm long and 2–3.5 cm broad, and have finely toothed margins, an acute to rounded apex and yellowish veins. The leaf rachis between the leaflets is usually (but not invariably) slightly winged. The plant is dioecious, with small white flowers borne profusely in axillary clusters. The fruit is a small, red, spherical drupe 4–5 mm diameter, carried in dense clusters of hundreds. The two varieties are: *''S. terebinthifolius'' var. ''acutifolius'', leaves to 22 cm, with 7–15 leaflets, fruit pink *''S. terebinthifolius'' var. ''terebinthifolius'', leaves to 17 cm, with 5–13 leaflets, fruit red File:Schinus terebinthifolius leaves.jpg| File:Schinus terebinthifolius flowers.jpg| File:Schinus terebinthifolius stem.jpg| 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「Schinus terebinthifolius」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
