The plants grow and strongly adhere on rock surfaces submerged in fast-running water in the rainy season, and flower and set fruits when they are exposed to the air during the dry season. In Japan there are two genera and six species including three endemics, though all of the six and two other species were considered endemic. In recent explorations in Thailand more than 40 species were found, i.e., four times as many as the 10 species previously recognized, suggesting a potentially richer biodiversity. More than half of about 54 genera in Podostemaceae are mono- or bispecific, indicating outstanding differences between species. Enigmas in the systematics, biogeography, and body-plan morphology are reviewed.}, pages = {1--10}, title = {カワゴケソウ科: 奇妙な植物の不思議さ (特別講演記録)}, volume = {58}, year = {2010} }
