__NOTOC__ ''Psychotria poeppigiana'' is a plant species in the family Rubiaceae; a common name is sore-mouth bush,〔USDA (2006)〕 though it is not very often used. It ranges widely in the tropical Americas, from Chiapas, Oaxaca, Tabasco and Veracruz in Mexico to the very north of Argentina. It does not occur on the Pacific side of the American cordillera however, and is thus absent from El Salvador and Chile. It is probably also absent from Uruguay and Paraguay.〔 ''P. poeppigiana'' is a large shrub. The inflorescences are carried upright or semi-erect and are surrounded by large bracts, colored a conspicuous red, that attract pollinators. The flowers themselves are inconspicuous, with the small yellow petals and sepals forming a narrow corollar tube. Pollinators are mainly hummingbirds, namely small hermit (Phaethornithinae) species like the black-throated hermit (''Phaethornis atrimentalis''), straight-billed hermit (''P. bourcieri'') and reddish hermit (''P. ruber''). They do not insert their bills deeply into the small flowers, and thus the pollinators of the sore-mouth bush include curved- and straight-billed species alike.〔Rodríguez-Flores & Stiles (2005)〕 ==Taxonomy and names== The scientific name honours the botanist Eduard Friedrich Poeppig. This widespread plant has been described under a variety of names, today all considered synonyms: * ''Callicocca tomentosa'' (Aubl.) J.F.Gmel. * ''Cephaelis hirsuta'' M.Martens & Galeotti * ''Cephaelis tomentosa'' (Aubl.) Vahl * ''Cephaelis vultusmimi'' Dwyer * ''Evea tomentosa'' (Aubl.) Standl. * ''Psychotria hirsuta'' (M.Martens & Galeotti) Müll. Arg. ex Mart. * ''Tapogomea tomentosa'' Aubl. * ''Uragoga poeppigiana'' (Müll. Arg.) Kuntze * ''Uragoga tomentosa'' (Aubl.) K.Schum. A subspecies has been named:〔DeFilipps ''et al.'' (2004): p.247〕 * ''Psychotria poeppigiana'' ssp. ''barcellana'' (Muell. Arg.) Steyerm. Local names include: * Carib languages: * * Guiana Carib: ''yo-nu-ne-mah'' (Akuriyó), ''ku-ri-lu eh-nah-pe-da'' (Tiriyó)〔 * * North Amazonian Carib: ''kaia-eno-mio'' (Akawaio)〔 * * Central Carib: ''pe-yah-o-tih-puh'' (Wayana)〔 * Creole languages: ''radie zore'' (French Guiana Creole), soldier's cap (Guyanese Creole)〔 * Tupí–Guaraní languages: ''tapi'i-kanami'' (Ka'apor), meaning "tapir-''kanami''". ''Kanami'' is the Ka'apor term for poison used in fishing prepared from ''Clibadium''. The name references both plant's (real or presumed) property of making animals more accessible to hunters (see below).〔Balée (1994): p.105〕 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「Psychotria poeppigiana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
