''Lysimachia ciliata'' (fringed loosestrife) is a species of flowering plant in the Primulaceae family. It is an erect, herbaceous perennial growing to tall and broad, with opposite, simple leaves, and smooth, green stems. The star-shaped yellow flowers are borne in midsummer. It is native to North America, including most of southern Canada and most of the United States except for the southwest. This plant is notable in that it is one of the few species of Lysimachia to bear elaiosomes; that is - to offer oil instead of nectar as a reward to pollinators. It is also cultivated as an ornamental plant. It can be invasive, but new suckers can be removed easily to keep plant size under control. The most common cultivars of ''L. ciliata'' include: * ''Lysimachia ciliata'' 'Firecracker' * ''Lysimachia ciliata'' 'Purpurea' 'Firecracker'〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/plant?plantid=1211 )〕 has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. ==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「Lysimachia ciliata」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
