Cleome is a genus of flowering plants in the family Cleomaceae.

The genus has a subcosmopolitan distribution throughout the tropical and warm temperate regions of the world.[1]


Read about Cleome in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

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. CH
