種 參見內文 火地亞屬(Hoodia),又名麗杯角屬,是蘿藦科下的一屬開花植物。[1]它們是肉質植物,有著像仙人掌的形態。它們可以生長達1米高,花朵很大,一般呈黃褐色及有強烈的氣味。 大部份火地亞屬物種都是受保護植物,分佈在由納米比亞中部至安哥拉南部的納米比沙漠,尤其生長在平原及岩石區。 火地亞屬有幾個物種已被種植在花園內,而其中一種蝴蝶亞仙人掌更被研究用作抑制食慾。[2]過往幾年間,它們被大量採集作為減肥藥。 於2008年,世界植物園保育協會(Botanic Gardens Conservation International)將400種草藥列作有滅絕的風險,當中就包括了火地亞屬。[3]火地亞屬正受到《瀕危野生動植物種國際貿易公約》附錄二的保護。[4] 物種 H. alstonii H. currorii H. dregei H. flava 蝴蝶亞仙人掌(H. gordonii) H. juttae H. mossamedensis H. officinalis H. parviflora H. pedicellata H. pilifera H. ruschii H. triebneri 參考 ^ Stevens PF (2001 onwards).
