''Elatostema'' is a genus of flowering plants containing approximately 350 known species in the nettle family Urticaceae, native to tropical forest clearings throughout Australasia, Asia and Africa. There may be as many as 1,000 species of this little-known genus, which is susceptible to deforestation and other forms of human exploitation. Some species, for instance the recently discovered ''E. fengshanense'', show unusual adaptations to growing in deep shade in caves. DNA analysis suggests that the three genera ''Elastostema'', ''Pellionia'', and ''Pilea'' be grouped together as one.〔http://www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/species-of-the-day/biodiversity/endangered-species/elatostema-fengshanense/index.html〕 ''E. repens'' and ''E. pulchra'' are cultivated as houseplants in temperate regions. ==Selected Species== * ''Elatostema fengshanense'' * ''Elatostema grande'' – Lord Howe Island * ''Elatostema lineolatum'' * ''Elatostema malipoense''〔http://www.pensoft.net/journals/phytokeys/article/2022/〕 * ''Elatostema montanum'' – Norfolk Island * ''Elatostema pleiophlebium'' * ''Elatostema pulchra'' * ''Elatostema reticulatum'' – Qld, NSW, Australia * ''Elatostema repens'' * ''Elatostema rugosum'' * ''Elatostema stipitatum'' – Qld, NSW, Australia * ''Elatostema umbellatum'' 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「Elatostema」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
