''Leptopus'', the maidenbushes, are a group of plants in the flowering plant family Phyllanthaceae first described as a genus in 1836.〔(Decaisne, Joseph. 1836. in Jacquemont, Venceslas Victor, Voyage dans l'Inde 4: 155, pl. 156 ) in Latin〕〔(Tropicos, ''Leptopus'' Decne. )〕 As presently constituted, is native to southern Asia from the Caucasus east to China and Maluku.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕〔(Flora of China Vol. 11 Page 169 雀舌木属 que she mu shu ''Leptopus'' Decaisne in Jacquemont, Voy. Inde. 4(Bot.): 155. 1835. )〕 ''Leptopus'' is one of eight genera in the tribe Poranthereae 〔Petra Hoffmann, Hashendra S. Kathriarachchi, and Kenneth J. Wurdack. 2006. "A Phylogenetic Classification of Phyllanthaceae." ''Kew Bulletin'' 61(1):37-53.〕 and comprises 9 species.〔Maria S. Vorontsova and Petra Hoffmann. 2008. "A phylogenetic classification of tribe Poranthereae (Phyllanthaceae)." ''Kew Bulletin'' 63(1):41-59.〕 It is the sister of ''Actephila''. The type species is ''Leptopus cordifolius''.〔''Leptopus'' In: Index Nominum Genericorum. In: Regnum Vegetabile (see ''External links'' below).〕 The name is derived from two Greek words, ''leptos'', "thin, slender, or small", and ''pous'', "foot", a reference to slender pedicels.〔Umberto Quattrocchi. 2000. ''CRC World Dictionary of Plant Names'' volume II. CRC Press: Boca Raton; New York; Washington,DC;, USA. London, UK. ISBN 978-0-8493-2676-9.〕 ''Leptopus'' consists of monoecious herbs and shrubs with simple, entire leaves and small, green flowers. The genus was revised in 2009.〔Maria S. Vorontsova and Petra Hoffmann. 2009. "Revision of the genus ''Leptopus'' (Phyllanthaceae, Euphorbiaceae sensu lato)". ''Kew Bulletin'' 64(4):627-644.〕 ''Leptopus fangdingianus'' had been placed by some authors in a separate genus, ''Archileptopus'', but it was shown in 2007 that recognition of ''Archileptopus'' makes ''Leptopus'' paraphyletic.〔Maria S. Vorontsova, Petra Hoffmann, Olivier Maurin, and Mark W. Chase. 2007. "Phylogenetics of tribe Poranthereae (Phyllanthaceae)." ''American Journal of Botany'' 94(12):2026-2040.〕 ''Phyllanthopsis phyllanthoides'' has been placed in ''Leptopus'' as well as in ''Andrachne''. In 2007, it was shown to not properly belong to either genus and in 2008 was assigned to a new genus, ''Phyllanthopsis''.〔 ;Species〔 ;formerly included〔 moved to other genera: ''Chorisandrachne Euphorbia Notoleptopus Phyllanthopsis'' == 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「Leptopus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
