''Cistanthe'' is a plant genus which includes most plants known as pussypaws. These are small, succulent flowering plants which often bear brightly colored flowers, though they vary quite a bit between species in appearance. Some species have flowers that are tightly packed into fluffy-looking inflorescences, the trait that gives them their common name. Many are adapted to arid environments, with some able to withstand climates that almost completely lack rainfall. ''Cistanthe'' was a genus created to segregate several species previously classified in ''Calandrinia''. Several species from other closely related genera have been moved into ''Cistanthe'' as well. Selected species: *''Cistanthe amaranthoides'' *''Cistanthe ambigua'' - desert pussypaws *''Cistanthe arancioana'' *''Cistanthe calycina'' *''Cistanthe celosioides'' *''Cistanthe cephalophora'' *''Cistanthe cymosa'' *''Cistanthe grandiflora'' *''Cistanthe guadalupensis'' *''Cistanthe maritima'' - seaside pussypaws *''Cistanthe monandra'' - common pussypaws, sandcress *''Cistanthe monosperma'' - one-seeded pussypaws *''Cistanthe parryi'' - Parry's pussypaws *''Cistanthe pulchella'' - Mariposa pussypaws *''Cistanthe pygmaea'' - pygmy pussypaws *''Cistanthe quadripetala'' - fourpetal pussypaws *''Cistanthe rosea'' - rosy pussypaws *''Cistanthe salsoloides'' *''Cistanthe umbellata'' - Mount Hood pussypaws ==External links== *(USDA Plants Profile ) 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「Cistanthe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
