'''''Cleome''''' is a [[genus (biology)|genus]] of [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Cleomaceae]]. The genus has a [[cosmopolitan distribution|subcosmopolitan]] distribution throughout the tropical and warm temperate regions of the world.<ref name=huxley/> {{Inc| Cleome (meaning uncertain). Capparidaceae. Odd spider-flowered plants sometimes grown in the flower garden. Sub-shrubs or annual herbs, simple or branched, glabrous or glandular, with simple Lvs. or 3-7 Lfts., and white, green, yellow or purplish fls. borne singly or in racemes; petals entire, with claws.— Seventy tropical species, in both hemispheres. The genus is distinguished from Gynandropsis by its short torus, which often bears an appendage, and by the 4-6, rarely 10, stamens. The garden cleomes are chiefly interesting for their long purple spidery stamens and showy rose-colored petals. They succeed in sandy soils and sunny situations, and can be used like castor-oil plants to fill up large gaps in a border. C. spinosa is the best, and has lately been planted considerably in public parks amongst shrubbery. Propagated by seeds, which are produced freely in long slender pods borne on long stalks. {{SCH}} }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Species== ''Cleome hassleriana'' (spider flower) is a commonly cultivated garden plant, which can become invasive if attention is not paid to removing it before it can shed its seeds. C. dendroidea, Schult. Tree-like, 10-14 ft.: fls. blackish purple. Brazil. B.M. 3296.—C. gigantea, Linn. Shrubby. 3-5 ft., downy: Lfts. 7, lanceolate, lance-oblong or oblanceolate, the entire lf. shorter than petiole: fls. greenish; petals linear, 2 in. or more long, cohering by their margins and opening only on one side; sepals long-linear, glandular, becoming revolute. Trop. Amer. B.M. 3137.—C. speciosa, HBK=Gynandropsis.{{SCH}} Selected species: Sources:<ref name=grin2>Germplasm Resources Information Network: [http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/splist.pl?2686 ''Cleome'' list]</ref><ref name=huxley/><ref name=fleur>Flora Europaea: [http://rbg-web2.rbge.org.uk/cgi-bin/nph-readbtree.pl/feout?FAMILY_XREF=&GENUS_XREF=Cleome&SPECIES_XREF=&TAXON_NAME_XREF=&RANK= ''Cleome'' list]</ref><ref name=usda>USDA Plants Profile: [http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=CLEOM ''Cleome'' list]</ref><ref name=efloras>Efloras: [http://www.efloras.org/browse.aspx?flora_id=0&name_str=cleome ''Cleome'' search results]</ref> {| |- valign=top | *''[[Cleome aculeata]]'' L. , tropical *''[[Cleome anomala]]'' Kunth; neo-tropical *''[[Cleome arborea]]'' Kunth *''[[Cleome aspera]]'' Koen. ex DC. *''[[Cleome augustinensis]]'' (Hochr.)
