''Melastoma malabathricum'', known also as Malabar melastome, Indian rhododendron and Singapore rhododendron ((マレー語:senduduk); (タイ語:โคลงเคลงขี้นก), ''khlong khleng khi nok'')〔(Malabar Melastome )〕 is a flowering plant in the family Melastomataceae. It is present in Indonesia, Japan, Burma, Cambodia, Laos, India, Malaysia, Nepal, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. It is usually found between 100 and 2,800 m on grasslands and sparse forests.〔(''Melastoma malabathricum'' - Flora of China )〕 It has been declared a noxious weed in the United States.〔(Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN) )〕 This plant has been used as a medicinal plant in certain parts of the world.〔(''Melastoma malabathricum'' Ethnomedicinal Uses, Chemical Constituents, and Pharmacological Properties )〕 ''Melastoma malabathricum'' is a known hyperaccumulator of aluminium, and as such can be used for phytoremediation.〔(Distribution and chemical speciation of aluminum in the Al accumulator plant, ''Melastoma malabathricum'' L. ) By Toshihiro Watanabe, Mitsuru Osaki, Teruhiko Yoshihara and Toshiaki Tadano. In journal “Plant and Soil”. Ed. Springer Netherlands, Volume 201, Number 2 / April, 1998. pp. 165-173. ISSN 0032-079X (Print) 1573-5036 (Online). DOI 10.1023/A:1004341415878.〕 ==Taxonomy== The taxonomy of the genus ''Melastoma'' requires a complete revision. Early genetics studies were published from 2001,〔 – see also the erratum.〕 through to recently, but a revision based on them has yet to be. In 2001 Karsten Meyer proposed a revision in which the species ''Melastoma affine'' and other species were subsumed within this species ''M. malabathricum''. In Australia, currently most authorities do not accept this; instead the naturally occurring populations in Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland and north eastern New South Wales remain recognised as ''M. affine'',〔 〕 except by authorities in Queensland. Australian populations which occur as weeds, having different flowers, for example in Warraroon Reserve, Lane Cove, Sydney, further south than the natural distribution of ''M. affine'', are introduced plants of this ''M. malabathricum'' 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「Melastoma malabathricum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
