''Casimiroa'' is a genus of flowering plants in the citrus family, Rutaceae. It includes about 10 species native to Mexico and Central America.〔Landaverde, N. A., et al. (2009). (Anxiolytic and sedative effects of essential oil from ''Casimiroa pringlei'' on Wistar rats. ) ''J Med Plants Res'' 3(10), 791-98.〕 The genus is named for "an Otomi Indian, Casimiro Gómez, from the town of Cardonal in Hidalgo, Mexico, who fought and died in Mexico's war of independence." 〔http://www.calflora.net/southafrica/1C-F.html〕 A general common name for plants of the genus is sapote.〔(''Casimiroa''. ) Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS).〕 Not all sapotes are members of this genus or even family, however; many sapotes are in the family Sapotaceae, especially the genus ''Pouteria'', and the black sapote is part of the Ebenaceae. Some species are cultivated. ''C. edulis'' (white sapote) produces edible fruit. It is also used as a shade tree in coffee plantations, as an ornamental, as an herbal remedy, and occasionally as lumber. ''C. sapota'' is grown in Mexico, and ''C. tetrameria'' is also known in cultivation.〔Morton, J. F. (White Sapote. ) p. 191–96. In: ''Fruits of Warm Climates''. Miami, Florida. 1987.〕 Species include:〔(GRIN Species Records of ''Casimiroa''. ) Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN).〕〔(''Casimiroa''. ) The Plant List.〕〔(''Casimiroa'' subordinate taxa. ) Tropicos.〕 *''Casimiroa calderoniae'' *''Casimiroa edulis'' – white sapote *''Casimiroa emarginata'' *''Casimiroa greggii'' *''Casimiroa microcarpa'' *''Casimiroa pringlei'' *''Casimiroa pubescens'' *''Casimiroa sapota'' – matasano *''Casimiroa tetrameria'' – woolly-leaf white sapote, yellow sapote, matasano *''Casimiroa watsonii'' ==References== 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「Casimiroa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
