''Phyllanthus urinaria'', commonly called chamber bitter, gripeweed, shatterstone, stonebreaker or leafflower, is a herb species in the family Phyllanthaceae. ==Plant description== The plant, reaching around 2 feet, has small alternate leaves resembling those of the mimosa tree, disposed in two ranges. The leaves are large at the tip and smaller towards the petiole. When touched, the leaves fold in automatically. Flowers are greenish white, minute and appear at axiles of the leaves, as well as the seed capsules. Numerous small green-red fruits, round and smooth, are found along the underside of the stems, which are erect and red. This plant is considered a competitive weed in some regions, because of its great number of seeds, its high shade tolerance and its extensive root system. Emerging scientific research shows Phyllanthus Urinaria may have (anticancer ) and other (disease ) treatment potential. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20979698 http://www.tropilab.com/shatterst.html http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ecam/2011/215035 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「Phyllanthus urinaria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
