''Clerodendrum'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Lamiaceae.〔Raymond M. Harley, Sandy Atkins, Andrey L. Budantsev, Philip D. Cantino, Barry J. Conn, Renée J. Grayer, Madeline M. Harley, Rogier P.J. de Kok, Tatyana V. Krestovskaja, Ramón Morales, Alan J. Paton, and P. Olof Ryding. 2004. "Labiatae" pages 167-275. In: Klaus Kubitzki (editor) and Joachim W. Kadereit (volume editor). ''The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants'' volume VII. Springer-Verlag: Berlin; Heidelberg, Germany. ISBN 978-3-540-40593-1〕 Its common names include glorybower, bagflower and bleeding-heart. It is currently classified in the subfamily Ajugoideae, being one of several genera transferred from Verbenaceae to Lamiaceae in the 1990s, based on phylogenetic analysis of morphological and molecular data.〔Steven J. Wagstaff, Laura Hickerson, Russ Spangler, Patrick A. Reeves, and Richard G. Olmstead. 1998. "Phylogeny in Labiatae s.l., inferred from cpDNA sequences". ''Plant Systematics and Evolution'' 209(3-4):265-274.〕 Estimates of the number of species in ''Clerodendrum'' vary widely, from about 150〔Yao-Wu Yuan, David J. Mabberley, Dorothy A. Steane, and Richard G. Olmstead. 2010. "Further disintegration and redefinition of ''Clerodendrum'' (Lamiaceae): Implications for the understanding of the evolution of an intriguing breeding strategy". ''Taxon'' 59(1):125-133.〕 to about 450.〔 This is partly because about 30 species have been transferred to ''Rotheca'',〔Dorothy A. Steane and David J. Mabberley. 1998. "''Rotheca'' (Lamiaceae) Revived". ''Novon'' 8(2):204-206.〕〔Rosette B. Fernandes and Bernard Verdcourt. 2000. "''Rotheca'' (Labiatae) revived - more new combinations". ''Kew Bulletin'' 55(1):147-154.〕 about 30 more to ''Volkameria'', and 1 to ''Ovieda''.〔 The type species for the genus is ''Clerodendrum infortunatum''.〔''Clerodendrum'' In: Index Nominum Genericorum. In: Regnum Vegetabile (see ''External links'' below).〕 It is native to Sri Lanka and the Andaman Islands.〔Anthony J. Huxley, Mark Griffiths, and Margot Levy (editors). 1992. ''The New Royal Horticultural Society Dictionary of Gardening.'' The Macmillan Press Limited, London; The Stockton Press, New York.〕 The genus is native to tropical and warm temperate regions of the world, with most of the species occurring in tropical Africa and southern Asia, but with a few in the tropical Americas and northern Australasia, and a few extending north into the temperate zone in eastern Asia.〔David J. Mabberley. 2008. ''Mabberley's Plant-Book'' third edition (2008). Cambridge University Press: UK. ISBN 978-0-521-82071-4〕 They are shrubs, lianas, and small trees, usually growing to tall, with opposite or whorled leaves. ''C. floribundum'' can grow to tall.〔Floyd, A.G., Australian Rainforests in New South Wales Volume 2 - 1990 ISBN 0-949324-32-9 page 179〕 ''Clerodendrum fistulosum'' and ''Clerodendrum myrmecophila'' have hollow stems that are inhabited by ants.〔 ''Clerodendrum trichotomum'' is a common ornamental in warmer parts of the world.〔 Eight other species are also grown in the tropics for their abundant and attractive flowers.〔George W. Staples and Derral R. Herbst "A Tropical Garden Flora" Bishop Museum Press: Honolulu (2005)〕 One of these, ''Clerodendrum macrostegium'', suckers abundantly from the roots, often producing a thicket within a few years.〔 A few other species are also found, somewhat rarely, in cultivation.〔 ''Clerodendrum'' species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including ''Endoclita malabaricus'' and ''Endoclita sericeus.'' Both butterflies and hummingbirds are often attracted to blooming clerodendrum. == Selected species == # 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「Clerodendrum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
