Species of flowering plant From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gonocarpus chinensis (also known by the common name as Chinese raspwort) is a shrub in the family Haloragaceae native to eastern Australia, South China, Caroline islands and North Australia. It was introduced to the Hawaiian islands and California.[1] G. chinensis is considered not to be a economically impotent genus but can be used for medicine and gardening as ornamental plants.[2] This species lives in wet tropical regions, grasslands, riverbanks and in waste lands in elevations at 100 to 800 meters but at 1800 meters in Southwest China.[3][4]
