Tribulus
:''Tribulus is also a derivative Roman era (Latin) name for the weapon known in English today as the caltrop,〔''Battle of Alesia'' (Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul in 52 BC)), Battlefield Detectives program, (2006), rebroadcast: 2008-09-08 on History Channel International (13:00–14:00 hrs EDST); Note: No mention of name caltrop at all, but illustrated and given as battle key to defend Roman lines of circumvallation per recent digs evidence.〕 which bears strong resemblances with the plant today named (ラテン語:Tribulus terrestris)'' or puncture vine.
''Tribulus'' is a genus of plants found in many warm regions. The best-known member is ''T. terrestris'' (puncture vine), a widespread weed and also the source of a dietary supplement. ''T. terrestris'' has been said to raise natural testosterone levels if taken as a supplement. There have been no studies that show a direct correlation between the use of tribulus and an increase in natural testosterone.
''Tribulus'' species are perennial, but some grow as annuals in colder climates. The leaves are opposite and compound. The flowers are perfect (hermaphroditic) and insect-pollinated, with fivefold symmetry. The ovary is divided into locules that are in turn divided by "false septa" (the latter distinguish ''Tribulus'' from other members of its family).
Some species are cultivated as ornamental plants in warm regions. Some, notably ''T. cistoides'', ''T. longipetalus'', ''T. terrestris,'' and ''T. zeyheri'', are considered weeds. ''Tribulus omanense'' is the national flower of Dubai.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=gardenguides.com )〕 Thirteen species of ''Tribulus'' are accepted by The Plant List, but there are many names still unresolved and needing further study.〔http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/search?q=Tribulus〕
