马兜铃科(Aristolochiaceae)共有8属大约400种,属于胡椒目,模式属为马兜铃属。 马兜铃科属于被子植物木兰类植物,以前单独分为马兜铃目,现在新的《APG II 分类法》将其列入胡椒目[1]。马兜铃科植物大部分是多年生植物,有草本、灌木和藤本。 葉為單葉,互生,葉形為心形,有葉柄,無托葉,葉緣通常為全緣。花腋生,由葉腋長出,花輻射對稱或左右對稱。 大部分马兜铃科植物含有马兜铃酸,微量服用就會大幅提高上泌尿系統(包含腎臟)癌症的可能性、較為多量、長期的服用則會造成不可逆、不可停止的腎衰竭;是華人及巴爾幹半島居民洗腎或腹膜透析的重要原因。 目录 1 分类 2 代表植物 3 参考文献 4 外部链接 分类 马兜铃亚科 Aristolochioideae 马兜铃属 Aristolochia 线果兜铃属 Thottea 细辛亚科 Asaroideae 细辛属 Asarum 马蹄香属 Saruma 鞭寄生亚科 Hydnoroideae 鞭寄生属 Hydnora 美洲菌花属 Prosopanche 囊粉花亚科 Lactoridoideae 囊粉花属 Lactoris 代表植物 马兜铃 细辛 参考文献 ^ Angiosperm Phylogeny Group.
