''Leonotis'' 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〕 One species, ''Leonotis nepetifolia'', is native to tropical Africa and southern India. It is naturalized throughout most of the tropics. The other species are endemic to southern + eastern Africa.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕〔Mattias Iwarsson and Yvette Harvey. 2003. "Monograph of the genus ''Leonotis'' (Pers.) R.Br. (Lamiaceae)". ''Kew Bulletin'' 58(3):597-645.〕 ''Leonotis'' was named by Robert Brown in 1810 in Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen.〔Robert Brown. 1810. ''Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen'':504. (see ''External links'' below).〕 The name means "lion's ear". The type for the genus is the specimen of ''Leonotis ocymifolia'' that was originally described as ''Leonotis leonitis''.〔''Leonotis'' In: Index Nominum Genericorum. In: Regnum Vegetabile (see ''External links'' below).〕 It is a specimen of ''Leonotis ocymifolia var. ocymifolia''.〔 ;Species〔 # ''Leonotis decadonta'' Gürke - southeast Africa from Burundi + Tanzania south to Mozambique # ''Leonotis goetzei'' Gürke - Tanzania # ''Leonotis grandis'' Iwarsson & Y.B. Harvey - Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia # ''Leonotis leonurus'' (L.) Robert Brown - South Africa, Angola; naturalized in Burundi, Java, St. Helena # ''Leonotis myricifolia'' Iwarsson & Y.B. Harvey - Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia # ''Leonotis myrothamnifolia'' Iwarsson & Y.B. Harvey - Malawi, Zambia # ''Leonotis nepetifolia'' (L.) Robert Brown - sub-Saharan Africa from Ethiopia west to Senegal and south to Transvaal, also Indian subcontinent; naturalized in Morocco, Canary Islands, Southeast Asia, New Caledonia, French Polynesia, much of Latin America; West Indies # ''Leonotis ocymifolia'' (Burman f.) Iwarsson - eastern Africa from Sudan + Eritrea south to Transvaal # ''Leonotis pole-evansii'' Hutch. - Zambia ==Taxonomy== ''Leonotis'' is a member of the subfamily Lamioideae.〔 ''Leonotis'' might be paraphyletic or even polyphyletic because ''Leonotis leonurus'' is not closely related to the other species.〔Anne-Cathrine Scheen and Victor A. Albert. 2009. "Molecular Phylogenetics of the ''Leucas'' Group (Lamioideae; Lamiaceae)". ''Systematic Botany'' 34(1):173-181.〕 In 2009, it was shown that ''Leonotis'' and 3 other genera are embedded in ''Leucas'',〔 a genus of about 100 species.〔 If the 4 embedded genera were merged with ''Leucas'', the expanded ''Leucas'' would have about 132 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「Leonotis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
