<p>Five species in the genus <em><a title="Pueraria" href="/wiki/Pueraria"><font color="#0645ad">Pueraria</font></a></em> are closely related and the name kudzu describes one or more of them. They are <em>P. montana</em>, <em>P. lobata</em>, <em>P. edulis</em>, <em>P. phaseoloides</em> and <em>P. thomsoni</em><sup style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap" class="Template-Fact" title="This claim needs references to reliable sources from January 2010"><font size="2">[<em><a title="Wikipedia:Citation needed" href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed"><font color="#0645ad">citation needed</font></a></em>]</font></sup>. The morphological differences between the five species are subtle, they can breed with each other, and it appears that introduced kudzu populations in the United States have ancestry from more than one of the species.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><font size="2"><font color="#0645ad"><span>[</span>4<span>]</span></font></font></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><font size="2"><font color="#0645ad"><span>[</span>5<span>]</span></font></font></a></sup> The name <em>Pueraria thunbergiana</em> is a synonym for <em>Pueraria montana</em> var. <em>lobata</em>.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><font color="#0645ad"><font size="2"><span>[</span>6<span>]</span></font></font></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><font color="#0645ad"><font size="2"><span>[</span>7<span>]</span></font></font></a></sup><sup style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap" class="noprint Inline-Template" title="The text in the vicinity of this tag needs clarification or removal of jargon from January 2010"><font size="2">[<em><a title="Wikipedia:Please clarify" href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify"><font color="#0645ad">clarification needed</font></a></em>]</font></sup></p>
