Lagerstroemia (/ ˌleɪɡərˈstriːmiə /), [1] commonly known as crape myrtle[2][3] (also spelled crepe myrtle or crêpe myrtle), is a genus of around 50 species of deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs native to the Indian subcontinent, southeast Asia, northern Australia, and other parts of Oceania, cultivated in warmer climates around the world.

2023年4月1日 · Lagerstroemia L. (Lythraceae) is a widely distributed genus of trees and shrubs native to tropical and subtropical environments from Southeast Asia to Australia, with numerous species highly valued as ornamentals.

2017年1月18日 · The data presented here will facilitate the understanding of the evolutionary history of crape myrtles. These findings provide an informative and valuable genetic source of the Lagerstroemia germplasm resources for identifying species, elucidating taxonomy, and reconstructing the phylogeny of the Lagerstroemia genus.

Common crape myrtle is a deciduous, erect, multi-trunked, tree or shrub in the loosestrife family (Lythraceae). It is native to the Philippines, Japan and central Himalayas to southern China and Indochina. The genus name honors Magnus von Lagerstroem, who was a Swedish botanist and director of the Swedish East Indies Company.

2023年8月1日 · Lagerstroemia is a genus with a wide geographical range extending from Southeast Asia to Australia, and it plays a significant role in many aspects of urban life, including supporting ecosystems, beautifying cities, and affecting human health.

2021年6月9日 · In this study, we sequenced 20 Lagerstroemia chloroplast genomes and combined with 15 existing chloroplast genomes from the genus to investigate the phylogenetic relationships and divergence times within Lagerstroemia. The phylogenetic results indicated that this genus is a monophyletic group containing four clades.

The genus is named after the 18th century Swedish botanist Magnus von Lagerstroem who directed the Swedish East India Company and was a friend of Linnaeus. The common name refers to the crepe-papery inflorescences and the myrtle-like (Myrtus communis) features of the bark and foliage.

2017年1月19日 · In this study, we report three newly sequenced complete cp genomes from the Lagerstroemia (two species and one cultivar) and genomic comparative analyses with other three published cp genome sequences of the genus downloaded from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) organelle genome database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov ...
