:''For the Royal Navy ships, see HMS ''Bryony''.'' ''Bryonia'' is a genus of flowering plant in the gourd family. Bryony is its best-known common name. They are native to western Eurasia and adjacent regions, such as North Africa, the Canary Islands and South Asia. ==Description and ecology== Bryonies are perennial, tendril-climbing, diclinous or dioecious herbs with palmately lobed leaves and flowers in axillary clusters. The fruit is a smooth, globular berry. The only English species, ''B. dioica'' (white bryony), grows in hedgerows as far north as Yorkshire. ''Bryonia'' is used as a food plant by the larvae of some Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), including the tortrix moth ''Phtheochroa rugosana'' (recorded on red bryony, ''B. dioica'') and the Cabbage Moth (''Mamestra brassicae''). 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「Bryonia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
