''Mikania'' is a genus of about 450〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Mikania )〕 species in the boneset tribe within the sunflower family. The name honors the Czech botanist Johann Christian Mikan, 1743–1814.〔 Members of the genus are stem twiners and lianas and are common in the neotropical flora. ''Mikania'' originates from South America. A few species, such as ''Mikania scandens'', are found in temperate areas of North and South America, and nine species are known from the Old World tropics.〔 As with other plants in the tribe Eupatorieae, the flowers have disc florets and no ray florets. The species ''Mikania laevigata'' and ''Mikania glomerata'', also known as guaco, are popular in herbal medicine. ''Mikania micrantha'' is a widespread weed in the tropics. It grows very quickly (as fast as 80 mm in 24 hours for a young plant) and covers other plants. People have looked into controlling it with herbicides, parasitic plants, fungi and insects. ==Selected species== *''Mikania andrei'' (Ecuador) *''Mikania batatifolia'' (Florida and West Indies)〔(【引用サイトリンク】Flora of North America "> url = http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=250067190 )〕 *''Mikania capensis'' (Africa) *''Mikania chimborazensis'' (Ecuador) *''Mikania cordifolia'' (northern Argentina to southeastern United States (Texas to Florida))〔(【引用サイトリンク】Flora of North America "> url = http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=242428429 )〕 *''Mikania cuencana'' (Ecuador) *''Mikania harlingii'' (Ecuador) *''Mikania iodotricha'' (Ecuador) *''Mikania iserniana'' (Ecuador) *''Mikania jamesonii'' (Ecuador) *''Mikania micrantha'' (widespread weed in many tropical areas including southern Florida) *''Mikania millei'' (Ecuador) *''Mikania natalensis'' (Africa) *''Mikania oreophila'' (Brazil) *''Mikania pulverulenta'' (Ecuador) *''Mikania seemannii'' (Ecuador) *''Mikania scandens'' (Mexico, Bahamas, and eastern United States as far north as Maine + Michigan)〔(【引用サイトリンク】Flora of North America "> url = http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=220008598 )〕 *''Mikania stereolepis'' (Ecuador) *''Mikania tafallana'' (Ecuador) 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「Mikania」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
