Apocynum
''Apocynum'', commonly known as Indian hemp, is a genus of the plant family of the Apocynaceae with seven species. Its name is from the Greek: ''apo'', away and ''cyno'',〔http://www.co.jefferson.co.us/coopext/plantdetail.do?sna=Apocynum+androsaemifolium&image=0 Colorado Plant Database〕 attributed to its toxicity. The genus is native to North America, temperate Asia (China, Siberia, Kazakhstan, etc.), and SE Europe (Italy, Bulgaria, Ukraine, etc.).〔〔(Flora of China Vol. 16 Page 181 罗布麻属 luo bu ma shu ''Apocynum'' Linnaeus, Sp.
