''Pueraria'' is a genus of 15–20〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Pueraria DC. )〕 species of plants native to Asia. ''Pueraria'' flower is used in traditional Chinese medicine to reduce reactions to alcohol consumption, and is undergoing scientific study for that use. ''Pueraria thomsonii'' has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for treatment of fever, acute dysentery, diarrhea, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.〔Wang L, Waltenberger B, Pferschy-Wenzig EM, Blunder M, Liu X, Malainer C, Blazevic T, Schwaiger S, Rollinger JM, Heiss EH, Schuster D, Kopp B, Bauer R, Stuppner H, Dirsch VM, Atanasov AG. (Natural product agonists of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ): a review. ) Biochem Pharmacol. 2014 Jul 29. pii: S0006-2952(14)00424-9. doi: 10.1016/j.bcp.2014.07.018. (PubMed PMID 25083916. )〕 The genus is polyphyletic, with different species being related to species in ''Glycine'' (which includes soybean), ''Amphicarpaea'', ''Nogra'', ''Teyleria'', ''Neonotonia'', ''Pseudovigna'', ''Pseudeminia'', ''Pachyrhizus'' (which includes jicama), and other genera of the tribe Phaseoleae. == Species == These five species are closely related, and the name kudzu describes one or more of them. The morphological differences between the five species are subtle, they can breed with each other, and it appears that introduced kudzu populations in the United States have ancestry from more than one of the species. * ''P. edulis'' Pamp.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Pueraria )〕 * ''P. lobata'' (Willd.)
