''Coccoloba'' is a genus of about 120–150 species of flowering plants in the family Polygonaceae. The genus is native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, in South America, the Caribbean and Central America, with two species extending into Florida.〔Flora of North America: (''Coccoloba'' )〕〔Huxley, A., ed. (1992). ''New RHS Dictionary of Gardening''. Macmillan ISBN 0-333-47494-5.〕 The species are shrubs and trees, mostly evergreen. The leaves are alternate, often large (to very large in some species), with the leaves on juvenile plants often larger and of different shape to those of mature plants. The flowers are produced in spikes. The fruit is a three-angled achene, surrounded by an often brightly coloured fleshy perianth, edible in some species, though often astringent.〔〔 There is no overall English name for the genus, although many of the individual species have widely used common names. == Selected species == *''Coccoloba acuminata'' *''Coccoloba caracasana'' Papaturro *''Coccoloba costata'' Uvilla *''Coccoloba diversifolia'' Pigeonplum *''Coccoloba krugii'' Whitewood Seagrape *''Coccoloba microstachya'' Puckhout *''Coccoloba pallida'' Pale Seagrape *''Coccoloba pubescens'' Grandleaf Seagrape *''Coccoloba pyrifolia'' Uvera *''Coccoloba rugosa'' Ortegon *''Coccoloba sintenisii'' Uvero de Monte *''Coccoloba swartzii'' Swartz's Pigeonplum *''Coccoloba tenuifolia'' Bahama Pigeonplum *''Coccoloba uvifera'' Seagrape *''Coccoloba venosa'' False Chiggergrape Sources:〔USDA Plants Profile: (''Coccoloba'' )〕〔Global Compendium of Weeds: (''Coccoloba acuminata'' )〕〔Plants of Hawaii: (Polygonaceae )〕 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「Coccoloba」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
