''Oenocarpus'' is a genus of pinnate-leaved palms (Arecaceae) native to Trinidad, southern Central and tropical South America.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕〔 (2004): World Checklist of Arecaceae – (''Oenocarpus'' ). The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Retrieved 2008-DEC-24.〕 With nine species and one natural hybrid, the genus is distributed from Costa Rica and Trinidad in the north to Brazil and Bolivia in the south. Common names in their native range are ''bacaba'' in Brazil, and ''palma milpesos'' (or just ''milpesos'') in Spanish-speaking countries. These terms may also refer to the most well-known member of this genus, ''O. bacaba'', but more precise common names exist for that species. The fruit of ''Oenocarpus'' palms are food for various animals, such as the green aracari (''Pteroglossus viridis'') for which ''O. bacaba'' fruit are a mainstay food. They are also locally eaten by humans, and these palms are also used in folk medicine. Their wood is useful for handicraft and the fruits can also be used to produce oil, which is of excellent quality and was used as a substitute for olive oil during WW2. ==List of species== The currently-accepted species of ''Oenocarpus'' are:〔 # ''Oenocarpus × andersonii'' Balick - northwestern Brazil (''O. bacaba × O. minor'') # ''Oenocarpus bacaba'' Mart, - Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, the Guianas —''bacaba açu, bacaba-de-leque, bacaba verdadeira'' (Brazil), ''manoco, punáma'' (Colombia), ''camon'' (French Guiana), ''ungurauy'' (Peru), ''koemboe'' (Suriname) # ''Oenocarpus balickii'' F.Kahn — northwestern Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador - ''sinamillo'' # ''Oenocarpus bataua'' Mart. — Panama, Trinidad, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, the Guianas - ''mingucha'', ''ungurahui'' # ''Oenocarpus circumtextus'' Mart. - Colombia, Amazonas State of Brazil # ''Oenocarpus distichus'' Mart. - Bolivia, Peru, Brazil # ''Oenocarpus makeru'' R.Bernal, Galeano & A.J.Hend. - Colombia # ''Oenocarpus mapora'' H.Karst. - Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Panama, Costa Rica - (= ''O. multicaulis, O. panamanus'') # ''Oenocarpus minor'' Mart. - Colombia, Amazonas State of Brazil # ''Oenocarpus simplex'' R.Bernal, Galeano & A.J.Hend. - Colombia, Amazonas State of Brazil 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「Oenocarpus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
