Zanthoxylum scandens is a species of woody plant in the family Rutaceae. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
Zanthoxylum scandens is a woody plant, observed as a shrub or woody climber. [1] It has a self-supporting growth form, with individual plants growing up to 24 metres (79 feet). [4] Prickles can be found on its trunks, branches, branchlets, and leaf rachises. [1] Flowers are tetramerous, with a perianth in two series. [1] It sepals have been found as pale purplish green in color, ovate in shape, and about 0.5 millimetres (0.020 inches) in size. [1] Male flowers have four stamens, are about three to four millimeters in size, and have a spot at their apex. [1] Female flowers have three carpels with ligulate staminodes. [1] Fruit follicles have been observed as purplish red in color, but grayish brown to black when dry. [1] Seeds are about four to five millimeters in diameter. [1] The species typically flowers from March to May, and fruits from to July to August. [1]
Zanthoxylum scandens is found in China (southern Anhui, Chongqing, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hainan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Zhejiang), India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, [1] Taiwan and Vietnam. [3]
Its preferred habitats are lowland forests, open forests, and thickets from an elevation at near sea level to 1,500 metres (4,921 feet). [1]
The species was first published in Carl Ludwig von Blume's Bijdragen tot de Flora van Nederlandsch Indie in 1825 [2] and is widely accepted as a valid species. [3]
Zanthoxylum is a genus of about 250 species of deciduous and evergreen trees, shrubs and climbers in the family Rutaceae that are native to warm temperate and subtropical areas worldwide. It is the type genus of the tribe Zanthoxyleae in the subfamily Rutoideae. Several of the species have yellow heartwood, to which their generic name alludes. Several species are cultivated for their use as spices, notably including Sichuan pepper.
Austrobaileya is the sole genus consisting of a single species that constitutes the entire flowering plant family Austrobaileyaceae. The species Austrobaileya scandens grows naturally only in the Wet Tropics rainforests of northeastern Queensland, Australia.
Lophospermum is a genus of herbaceous perennial climbers or scramblers, native to mountainous regions of Mexico and Guatemala. Those that climb use twining leaf stalks. Their flowers are tubular, in shades of red, violet and purple, the larger flowers being pollinated by hummingbirds. Now placed in the greatly expanded family Plantaginaceae, the genus was traditionally placed in the Scrophulariaceae. The close relationship with some other genera, particularly Maurandya and Rhodochiton, has led to confusion over the names of some species.
Zanthoxylum armatum, also called winged prickly ash or rattan pepper in English, is a species of plant in the family Rutaceae. It is an aromatic, deciduous, spiny shrub growing to 3.5 metres (11 ft) in height, endemic from Pakistan across to Southeast Asia and up to Korea and Japan. It is one of the sources of the spice Sichuan pepper, and also used in folk medicine, essential oil production and as an ornamental garden plant.
