Spermacoce verticillata est une espèce de plantes dicotylédones de la famille des Rubiaceae, sous-famille des Rubioideae, originaire des régions tropicales d'Amérique. L'espèce a été introduite dans diverses régions tropicales d'Asie, d'Afrique de l'Ouest, du Pacifique et de l'Australie tropicale. Cette espèce est utilisée comme plante médicinale à diverses fins. Par exemple, au Brésil, l'infusion des fleurs est utilisée comme antipyrétique et analgésique, les racines comme émétique et les feuilles comme antidiarrhéique et pour traiter l'érysipèle et les hémorroïdes. En Afrique, les extraits de feuilles sont utilisés pour traiter les affections lépreuses, les furoncles, les ulcères et les plaies gonorrhéiques.

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Spermacoce verticillata has left across the world's sequence archives.
At a glance
★ the standard DNA barcode for this group — the short region actually read to tell this species apart. The rest are extra genes sequenced along the way.
The complete instruction manual Spermacoce verticillata carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.
Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged
2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants.

Cultivated / Captivenot free-living
A living individual in a botanical garden, zoo or nursery — cultivated or kept, not free-living.
Where the DNA of Spermacoce verticillata was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.
Signal
Where its DNA was found
How strong is each trace?
Modelled climatemodelled
How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
