''Claoxylon'' is a flowering plant genus in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae, comprising dioecious subshrubs to small trees. It was first described as a genus in 1824.〔Jussieu, Adrien Henri Laurent de. 1824. De Euphorbiacearum Generibus Medicisque earumdem viribus tentamen, tabulis aeneis 18 illustratum 43, pl. 14, f. 43〕〔 The genus is distributed in paleotropical areas: Madagascar through South and Southeast Asia, Malesia to Melanesia, Hawaii, and Australia. Half of the species are in Malesia. According to a molecular phylogenetic study by Wurdack, Hoffmann & Chase (2005), ''Claoxylon'' is sister to ''Erythrococca'' (50 species, Africa), and together they form the top of a Hennigian comb-like phylogeny.〔Govaerts, R., Frodin, D.G. & Radcliffe-Smith, A. (2000). World Checklist and Bibliography of Euphorbiaceae (and Pandaceae) 1-4: 1-1622. The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. 〕〔Forster, P.I. (2007). A taxonomic revision of ''Claoxylon'' A.Juss. (Euphorbiaceae) in Australia. Austrobaileya 7: 451-472. 〕 The genus ''Claoxylon'' is usually easily recognizable because the dried leaves in herbariums of most species are rough (few are smooth). ;Species〔(World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕 ;Formerly included〔 moved to other genera ''(Acalypha, Croton, Discoclaoxylon, Erythrococca, Lobanilia, Macaranga, Mallotus, Micrococca, Orfilea)'' ==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「Claoxylon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
