Combretum indicum (Linnaeus) DeFilipps, Useful Pl. Dominica. 277. 1998.
[F I]
Rangoon creeper
Quisqualis indica Linnaeus, Sp. Pl. ed. 2, 1: 556. 1762
Shrubs or lianas climbing, to 6 m. Leaves: petiole 5–20 mm; blade elliptic to oblong-elliptic to slightly obovate, 4–18.5 × 1.5–9 cm, base obtuse to slightly cordate, surfaces glabrate to densely pubescent, hairs combretaceous, and also scattered, inconspicuous, short-stalked, gland-tipped. Spikes 1.3–6[–12.5] cm. Flowers: sepals 1–3 mm; stamens 4–7.5 mm; style 10–20 mm (not including portion adnate to hypanthium). Drupes red, 25–40 × 7.5–14 mm, glabrous or sparsely glandular-pubescent. 2n = 22, 24, 26.
Flowering spring–summer. Disturbed habitats; 0–20 m; introduced; Fla.; Asia (India to New Guinea); introduced also widely in Neotropics.
Combretum indicum has been found in Broward, Highlands, and Miami-Dade counties.
Combretum indicum is cultivated in warm regions for its beautiful and fragrant flowers, which have petals that are white when the flowers open and change to pink and then deep red as the day progresses. This species (and relatives) often have been placed in the genus Quisqualis, a name derived from the Latin “quis” (who?) and “qualis” (what?), alluding to the initial uncertain taxonomic placement of the genus, or possibly in astonishment at its variable habit or the distinctive color change. The approximately 17 species of the Quisqualis clade are closely related to species of Combretum subg. Cacoucia (Aublet) Exell & Stace, which have similar gland-tipped hairs (C. A. Stace 2007, 2010), and recognition of this group of species at the generic level would render Combretum non-monophyletic (O. Maurin et al. 2010).
Wikipedia 설명
Combretum indicum, also commonly known as the Rangoon creeper[4] or Burma creeper,[2] is a vine with red flower clusters which is native to tropical Asia and grows in thickets, primary and secondary forest, and along river banks in the Indian subcontinent, Malaysia and the Philippines.[1]: 547 It has since been cultivated and naturalized in tropical areas such as Burma, Vietnam, and Thailand.
This plant is grown as an ornament.[5][2]
Description
Leaves
The Rangoon creeper is a ligneous vine that can reach from 2.5 meters to up to 8 meters. The leaves are elliptical with an acuminate tip and a rounded base. They grow from 7 to 15 centimeters and their arrangement is opposite.
Flowers and fruit
The flowers are tubular, consisting of oblong petals 6–8 mm long. They are fragrant and have long receptacles to adapt for pollinators with long tongues.[1]: 547–548
They change in colour with age and it is thought that this is a strategy to gather more pollinators. The flower is initially white and opens at dusk to attract hawkmoths. On the second day it turns pink, and on the third it turns red attracting day flying bees and birds. The flower also changes from a horizontal orientation to a drooping pose.[6]: 175 [1]: 548
The 30 to 35 mm long fruit is dark brown, ellipsoidal and has five stiff and prominent wings. The seed tastes like almond or coconut when mature.[1]: 547
Potential toxicity
The seeds of this and related species, Quisqualis fructus and Q. chinensis, contain the chemical quisqualic acid, which is an agonist for the AMPA receptor, a kind of glutamate receptor in the brain. The chemical is linked to excitotoxicity (cell death).[7][8] The seeds have been used for treating roundworm and pinworm.[citation needed] It is toxic to the parasite and kills it in the digestive tract.[citation needed]
History
Dr John Ivor Murray sent a sample of the "nuts" to the Museum of Economic Botany in Edinburgh in 1861, with a note that they were "used by the Chinese for worms" and a description of the means of preparation and dosage.[9]
