''Yspilandra'' is a genus of at least six herbaceous plant species, first described as a genus in 1888. This genus is a member of the Melanthiaceae〔(Tropicos, ''Ypsilandra'' Franch. )〕 and is native to East Asia (China, the Himalayas, Myanmar, Thailand).〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕〔(Flora of China Vol. 24 Page 86 丫蕊花属 ya rui hua shu ''Ypsilandra'' Franchet, Nouv. Arch. Mus. Hist. Nat. ser. 2, 10: 93. 1887. )〕 ''Ypsilandra'' species are perennial plants that grow from thick rhizomes. They are associated with sloping, forested habitats. They are very infrequently cultivated in the West. Their leaves are generally long and thin, growing in a rosette from the base of the plant. ''Ypsilandra'' species produce flowers on a long scape arising from the intersection of the leaves and the stem. The inflorescences consist of a cluster of nodding, radially-symmetrical tube-shaped flowers with six tepals. The stamens protrude beyond the tepals. Depending on the species, the tepals may be white, pink, purple, or yellow. ;Species〔 # ''Y. alpina'' F.T.Wang & Tang - Tibet, Yunnan, N Myanmar # ''Y. cavaleriei'' H.Lév. & Vaniot - Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hunan # ''Y. jinpingensis'' W.H.Chen, Y.M.Shui & ZhiY.Yu - Yunnan, N Vietnam # ''Y. kansuensis'' R.N.Zhao & Z.X.Peng - Gansu # ''Y. thibetica'' Franch. - Sichuan, Hunan, Guangxi, Taiwan # ''Y. yunnanensis'' W.W.Sm. & Jeffrey - Nepal, Yunnan, Bhutan, Assam, Myanmar ''Ypsilandra thibetica'' is used in traditional Chinese medicine, especially in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, as a haemostatic. == References == 〔 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「Ypsilandra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
