Zygophyllaceae
Zygophyllaceae is a family of flowering plants that contains the bean-caper and caltrop. The family includes around 285 species in 22 genera. Plants in the family Zygophyllaceae may be trees, shrubs, or herbs. They are often found in dry habitats. The leaves are usually opposite, often with stipules and spines. Some are cultivated as ornamental plants, such as species of the '' Guaiacum'', ''Zygophyllum'', '' Tribulus'', and '' Larrea'' genera. King Clone, a creosote bush ''(Larrea tridentata)'' in California, is among the world's oldest living organisms. The distribution of plants in the Zygophyllaceae family can be found worldwide in warm tropics and cool-temperate subtropics with a concentration in hot, arid regions with alkaline soils. Regions with different species from this family include Africa, south Asia, India, Australia and parts of the United States. Genera '' Peganum'' was in Zygophyllaceae before being moved to the newly created family Nitrariaceae. Systema ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Zygophylloideae
Zygophylloideae is a subfamily of the family Zygophyllaceae. The subfamily comprises about 180 species of shrubs, subshrubs and herbs, found throughout arid parts of the Paleotropical kingdom, Palaeotropics and into North and South America. , the division of the subfamily into genera is disputed, with between four and seven genera accepted by different sources. Taxonomy Molecular phylogenetics, Molecular phylogenetic studies from 2000 onwards have repeatedly strongly supported the monophyly of the subfamily Zygophylloideae. However, the division of the subfamily into genera remains disputed, . A study in 2000 showed that the genus ''Zygophyllum'', as then Circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed, was Polyphyly, polyphyletic, with ''Augea'', ''Fagonia'' and ''Tetraena'' embedded within it. One response to this, published in 2018, was to expand ''Zygophyllum'' to include these three genera. , both Plants of the World Online and the World Flora Online synonymize ''Augea'', ''Fagonia' ...

Tribulus Terrestris
''Tribulus terrestris'' is an annual plant in the caltrop family (Zygophyllaceae) widely distributed around the world. It is adapted to thrive in dry climate locations in which few other plants can survive. It is native to warm temperate and tropical regions in southern Eurasia and Africa. It has been unintentionally introduced to North America and Australia. An aggressive and hardy invasive species, ''T. terrestris'' is widely known as a noxious weed because of its small woody fruit – the bur – having long sharp and strong spines which easily penetrate surfaces, such as bare feet or thin shoes of crop workers and other pedestrians, the rubber of bicycle tires, and the mouths and skin of grazing animals. Names Like many weedy species, this plant has numerous common names according to the world region, including 3-corner-jack, goathead, bull's head, gopher-head, caltrop, cat-head, devil's eyelashes, devil's-thorn, devil's-weed, puncturevine, and tackweed.

Tribulus
''Tribulus'' is a genus of plants in the family Zygophyllaceae and found in diverse climates and soils worldwide from latitudes 35°S to 47°N. The best-known member is '' T. terrestris'' (puncture vine), a widespread invasive species and weed. ''Tribulus'' species are perennial, but some grow as annuals in colder climates. The leaves are opposite and compound. The flowers are perfect (hermaphroditic) and insect-pollinated, with fivefold symmetry. The ovary is divided into locules that are in turn divided by "false septa" (the latter distinguish ''Tribulus'' from other members of its family). Some species are cultivated as ornamental plants in warm regions. Some, notably '' T. cistoides'', '' T. longipetalus'', '' T. terrestris,'' and '' T. zeyheri'', are considered weeds. '' Tribulus'' is the national flower of United Arab Emirates. Thirteen species of ''Tribulus'' are accepted by The Plant List, but there are many names still unresolved and needing further study.

''Zygophyllum'' is the type genus of the flowering plant family Zygophyllaceae. The generic name is derived from the Greek language, Greek words ζυγόν (''zygon''), meaning "double", and φυλλον (''phyllon''), meaning "leaf".
