''Coleus'' was a genus of flowering plants in the family Lamiaceae. In recent classifications, the genus is no longer recognized, and the formerly included species are instead placed in the genera ''Plectranthus'' and ''Solenostemon''. Because the type species, ''Coleus amboinicus'' (''Plectranthus amboinicus'') is now placed in ''Plectranthus'', ''Coleus'' is regarded as a synonym of ''Plectranthus''. The term "coleus" is often used as a common name for species formerly placed in the genus ''Coleus'' that are cultivated as ornamental plants, particularly ''Coleus blumei'' (''Plectranthus scutellarioides''), which is popular as a garden plant for its brightly colored foliage. ==Selected species== *''Coleus blumei'' = ''Coleus scutellarioides'' = ''Plectranthus scutellarioides'' *''Coleus amboinicus'' = ''Plectranthus amboinicus'' *''Coleus barbatus'' = ''Plectranthus barbatus'' *''Coleus caninus'' = ''Plectranthus caninus'' *''Coleus edulis'' = ''Plectranthus edulis'' *''Coleus esculentus'' = ''Plectranthus esculentus'' *''Coleus forskohlii'' = ''Plectranthus barbatus'' *''Coleus rotundifolius'' = ''Plectranthus rotundifolius'' 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「coleus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
