''Coriaria'' is the sole genus in the family Coriariaceae.described as a genus by Linnaeus in 1753.〔(Linnaeus, Carl von. 1753. Species Plantarum 2: 1037 ) in Latin〕〔(Tropicos, Coriaria L. )〕 It includes subshrubs, shrubs and small trees, with a widespread but disjunct distribution across warm temperate regions of the world, occurring as far apart as the Mediterranean region, southern and eastern Asia, New Zealand (where some are alpine species), the Pacific Ocean islands, and Central and South America.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕〔Davidse, G., M. Sousa Sánchez, S. Knapp & F. Chiang Cabrera. 2014. Saururaceae a Zygophyllaceae. 2(3): ined. In G. Davidse, M. Sousa Sánchez, S. Knapp & F. Chiang Cabrera (eds.) Flora Mesoamericana. Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México〕〔(Flora of China Vol. 11 Page 333 马桑科 ma sang ke Coriariaceae )〕 The leaves are opposite or in whorls, simple, 2–9 cm long, without stipules. The flowers are borne in racemes 2–30 cm long, each flower small, greenish, with five small petals. The fruit is a small and shiny black (occasionally yellow or red) berry-like swollen corolla, highly poisonous in several species, though those of ''C. terminalis'' are edible. At least a few members of this genus are non-legume nitrogen fixers. The Mediterranean species ''C. myrtifolia'' is known as Redoul, and the several New Zealand species are known by the Māori name of tutu. The South American species ''C. ruscifolia'' is an evergreen climber known as Deu or Huique, and its fruits are used in Southern Chile to make rat poison. ;Species〔 ==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「Coriaria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
