''Clidemia hirta'', commonly called soapbush or Koster's Curse, is a perennial shrub. It is an invasive plant species in many tropical regions of the world, creating serious damage. ==Distribution== Originally from the American Neotropics (Mexico to Paraguay as well as the Caribbean), it has been introduced to Australia, Southern Asia and East Africa. It was introduced to Hawaii in the 1940s; by 1978 it had spread to over of land on Oahu. In 1972 Koster's Curse was first spotted on the Big Island. In Sri Lanka it is quite invasive in wet zone and upcountry forests, especially invading gaps in the forest, preventing other native species from emerging.〔Lalith Gunasekera, ''Invasive Plants: A guide to the identification of the most invasive plants of Sri Lanka'', Colombo 2009, p. 95–96.〕 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「Clidemia hirta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
