''Ixophorus'' is a genus of Latin American plants in the grass family. The only recognized species is ''Ixophorus unisetus''.〔〔Hiser, K. M. (''Ixophorus'' Schltdl. ) Grass Manual. Flora of North America.〕〔Kellogg, E. A., et al. (2004). (Taxonomy, phylogeny, and inflorescence development of the genus ''Ixophorus'' (Panicoideae: Poaceae). ) ''Int J Plant Sci'' 165(6) 1089-1105.〕 Some authors have included one or two other species in the genus, such as ''I. pringlei'', but these have more recently been reduced to synonymy.〔 Common names for ''I. unisetus'' include crane grass, turkey grass,〔(''Ixophorus unisetus''. ) Germplasm Resources Information Network.〕 Honduras grass, Mexican grass,〔(''Ixophorus unisetus''. ) Grassland Species Profiles. FAO.〕 Central America grass, ''hático'' (Colombia), ''zacate blanco'' (El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico), and ''zacate chompipe'' (Nicaragua).〔Quattrocchi, U. ''CRC World Dictionary of Grasses: Common Names, Scientific Names, Eponyms, Synonyms, and Etymology, Volume 1''. CRC Press. 2006. pg. 1141.〕 This grass is native to Mexico, Central America, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Colombia.〔〔 It is an introduced species in Hawaii.〔〔(''Ixophorus unisetus''. ) Pacific Island Ecosystems at Risk (PIER).〕 The grass is variable. It can be annual or perennial, growing up to 1.5 meters tall or remaining much shorter. The stem can be up to a centimeter wide and dry to nearly succulent. The inflorescence is an open panicle with up to 50 branches.〔 This grass is grown for grazing and hay in some places, such as Costa Rica.〔 ;formerly included〔 several taxa once regarded as members of ''Ixophorus'' but now regarded as better suited to other genera: ''Pennisetum Setaria'' * ''Ixophorus glaucus - Pennisetum glaucum'' * ''Ixophorus glaucus ''var''. laevigatus - Setaria parviflora'' * ''Ixophorus italicus - Setaria italica'' * ''Ixophorus verticillatus - Setaria verticillata'' * ''Ixophorus viridis - Setaria viridis'' ==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「Ixophorus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
