Euphorbiaceae

Sharp spurge ( Euphorbia esula )

The spurge family ( Euphorbiaceae ) form a family of plants in the order of Malpighienartigen ( Malpighiales ). The approximately 240 genera with about 6000 species have spread from the temperate to the tropical areas around the world.

Description of the plant

Habitus and sheets

Wolf milk plants are extremely diverse:

  • Herbaceous plants: Annual plants
  • Two Perennial Plants
  • Perennial plants.
  • Subshrubs
  • Shrubs and
  • Trees.

The plant parts can be bald or hairy. Sometimes contain white or colored milky juice. The Stems and branches are soft and herbaceous or woody or sometimes succulent. They are unarmed or sometimes thorny. The leaves are usually alternate, sometimes opposite, rarely whorled, usually petiolate, sometimes shield-shaped, simple or compound, entire, lobed or toothed. Stipules are often striking, sometimes thorny, glandular or completely reduced.

Inflorescences and flowers

The flowers are always getrenntgeschlechtig. The species can be monoecious getrenntgeschlechtig ( monoecious ) or dioecious ( dioecious ). The inflorescences may be terminal or axillary, zymös, paniculate, racemose spike- shaped or with extremely reduced flowers in involukralen sham flowers ( cyathia ).

The small, unisexual flowers are usually radial symmetry. The calyx ( calyx ) consists of three to six sepals ( septal ) or lobes, sometimes absent. The corolla consists of three to six petals ( petals ), sometimes absent. Nectar glands discs are often present. Stamens there is ever one to three male flowers (100 to 1000). The anthers usually tear along to, Pistillodium often present. Staminodes are only sometimes available. The seated or stalked ovary is upper constant, it can rarely one-to three - and - kammerig to 20, with an ovule per ovary chamber be. There are usually three pen available.

Fruit and seeds

There are usually aufreißende, three-lobed capsule fruits, occasionally drupe -like fruits with fleshy exocarp formed and woody endocarp. The seeds are available with or without a caruncle.

Ingredients

The existing in some species milky sap ( latex) is often toxic and is used as a wound closure and corrosion protection. Among the ingredients the skin irritation di-and triterpene esters are worth mentioning.

The seeds of the milk and juice contain toxic Euphorbon. These have a strong local irritant effect on skin and mucous membranes with tissue destruction. Eye injuries are particularly dangerous.

Important genera with some selected species

  • Spurge ( Euphorbia ): Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima ) (old name: Poinsettia )
  • Crown of thorns (Euphorbia milii )
  • Many succulent species,
  • Many native species in Central Europe.

Common representative of the Euphorbiaceae in Central Europe belong to the genus Euphorbia, for example: the Cypress Spurge (Euphorbia cyparissias ) and the solstice spurge ( Euphorbia helioscopia ); and the Bingel herb ( Mercurialis ).

System

The Euphorbiaceae family was erected in 1789 under the name " Euphorbiae " by Antoine Laurent de Jussieu in Genera Plantarum, pp. 384-385. The scientific name of the type genus Euphorbia derives from Euphorbos, a personal physician of King Juba II of Mauritania ( about 50 BC to 23/24 AD).

The spurge family ( Euphorbiaceae ) family is divided into three subfamilies: Acalyphoideae, Crotonoideae and Euphorbioideae. The former subfamily Oldfieldioideae was spun off as a family Picrodendraceae. From the previous subfamily Phyllanthoideae the family Phyllanthaceae were their tribe Drypeteae was the family Putranjivaceae and their tribe Centroplaceae was part of the Pandaceae. Only Euphorbioideae is the typical white (in rare cases, yellow ) milk juice available.
