Indigenous to tropical and East Asia, 20 species comprise the genus Pueraria in the Leguminosae (pea or bean family) (Mabberley 1989). The generic name commemorates Swiss botanist Marc Nicolas Puerari (1766–1845). The specific epithet lobata, from the Greek lobos, refers to kudzu's three-lobed leaves (Brown 1956).
Barnyardgrass [Echinochloa crus-galli(L.) Beauv. ♯3ECHCG], originally from Europe and India, now ranges from latitude 50 N to 40 S, in both temperate and tropical habitats (12). It is a serious weed problem in 42 countries and is found in at least 27 more (11). It is the world's principal weed of rice (12) and likely has been for a long time: barnyardgrass is recognizable in Chinese drawings from 1590 (13).
Common purslane becomes quite permanently established where they are once introduced and will doubtless become weeds wherever they escape from cultivation.—William Darlington (1859)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
