Mesquite is the common name for several species of small trees in the genus Prosopis. They are native to the southwestern United States and Mexico (except for creeping mesquite, which is invasive in southern California).

This tree blooms from spring to summer.

Etymology

The English word mesquite is borrowed from the Spanish word mezquite, which in turn was borrowed from the Nāhuatl term mizquitl.^[1]^[2]^[3]

As an introduced and invasive species

Honey mesquite has been introduced to parts of Africa, Asia, and Australia and is considered by the World Conservation Union as one of the world's most problematic invasive species.^[4]

Species

Prosopis glandulosa (honey mesquite)^[5]
Prosopis juliflora
Prosopis laevigata (smooth mesquite)
Prosopis pubescens (screwbean mesquite)
Prosopis reptans (tornillo)
Prosopis strombulifera (creeping mesquite)
Prosopis velutina (velvet mesquite)

Cyananthus (Campanulaceae) is a small genus consisting of ca. 20 species endemic to the Sino-Himalayan region. Based on phylogenetic analysis using nuclear ribosomal ITS and four plastid markers (matK, rbcL, psbA-trnH and trnG-S), our results strongly support the monophyly of Cyananthus and its clos
