Comptonia peregrina(L.) Coult.

국표에 없다.

Comptonia peregrina is a species of flowering plant in the family Myricaceae. It is the only extant (living) species in the genus Comptonia, although a number of extinct species are placed in the genus. Comptonia peregrina is native to eastern North America, from southern Quebec, east to Nova Scotia, south to the extreme north of Georgia, and west to Minnesota. The common name is sweetfern or sweet-fern (although it is not a fern), or in Quebec, comptonie voyageuse.

Etymology

The genus Comptonia is named in honor of Rev. Henry Compton (1632-1713), bishop of Oxford.

The species name peregrina literally means one that travels. Compare the plant's Quebec French name, comptonie voyageuse: "traveling comptonia."

Description

Comptonia peregrina is a deciduous shrub, growing to 1.5 m (4.9 ft) tall. The leaves of the plant are linear to lanceolate, 3–15 cm (1.2–5.9 in) long and 0.3–3 cm (0.1–1.2 in) broad, with a lobed margin; they give off a sweet odor, especially when crushed. Plants are monoecious with separate unisexual flowers. The staminate flowers grow in clusters at the ends of branches, and are up to 5 cm (2.0 in) long. The pistillate flowers are only 5 mm (0.2 in), but elongate when the fruits form, reaching 5 cm (2.0 in).

Taxonomy

The species was first described, as Liquidambar peregrina, by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, in the second volume of Species Plantarum. Further on in the same volume, he described Myrica aspleniifolia as a different species (with the epithet spelt asplenifolia). In 1763, he changed his mind concerning Myrica aspleniifolia, and it became Liquidambar aspleniifolia, and so in the same genus as Liquidambar peregrina.

In 1789, Charles Louis L'Héritier placed Linnaeus's original Myrica aspleniifolia in his new genus Comptonia.

In 1894, John M. Coulter transferred Linnaeus's Liquidambar peregrina to Comptonia, and treated Linnaeus's Myrica aspleniifolia as a synonym. Comptonia peregrina is now the only extant (living) species in the genus.

Distribution and habitat

Comptonia peregrina is native to eastern North America, from Ontario and Quebec in the north, east to Nova Scotia, to Georgia in the south, and west to Minnesota. It tends to grow on dry sandy sites, and is associated with pine stands.

Ecology

Comptonia peregrina is used as a food plant by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species, including Bucculatrix paroptila, grey pug, setaceous Hebrew character, Io moth, and several Coleophora case-bearers: C. comptoniella, C. peregrinaevorella (which feeds exclusively on Comptonia), C. persimplexella, C. pruniella and C. serratella. It is also a non-legume nitrogen fixer.

Uses and consumption

The plant produces a bristly burr that contains 1 to 4 edible nutlets.

The aromatic leaves (fresh or dried) are also used to make a tea. The Canadian author Catharine Parr Traill includes it in her book The Female Emigrant's Guide in a list of substitutes for China tea. "When boiled," she notes, "it has a slightly resinous taste, with a bitter flavour, that is not very unpleasant." Mistaking it, like others, for a fern, she says that it is in high repute "among the Yankee and old Canadian housewifes (sic)." Tea made from the plant has been said to treat the effects of poison ivy when applied to the affected area. The plant has also been used as a seasoning.

[그 식물은 1~4개의 식용 견과류를 함유하고 있는 털이 많은 버를 생산한다. 향기로운 잎 (신선하거나 말린)은 또한 차를 만드는 데 사용됩니다. 캐나다 작가 Catharine Parr Traill은 그녀의 저서 The Female Emigrant 's Guide에 중국 차 대신에 그것을 포함시킵니다. "삶았을 때, 그것은 약간 수지 같은 맛을 가지고 있고, 쓴 맛을 가지고 있는데, 그것은 별로 불쾌하지 않다."그녀는 다른 사람들과 마찬가지로 양치류를 위해 그것을 실수하면서 "양키와 캐나다의 오래된 주부들 사이에서" 높은 평판을 얻고 있다고 말한다. 식물로 만든 차는 영향을받는 지역에 적용될 때 포이즌 아이비의 영향을 치료한다고합니다. 이 식물은 또한 조미료로 사용되었습니다.]

Notes

1. ^ Article 60.10 of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants requires names not formed in accordance with the article to be corrected. The epithet aspleniifolia is formed from Asplenium and folia, so must be constructed as aspleni+i+folia.
