Calystegia × Lucana
''Calystegia'' (bindweed, false bindweed, or morning glory) is a genus of about 25 species of flowering plants in the bindweed family Convolvulaceae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution in temperate and subtropical regions, but with half of the species endemic (ecology), endemic to California. They are annual plant, annual or herbaceous perennial plant, perennial twining vines growing 1–5 m tall, with spirally arranged leaves. The flowers are trumpet-shaped, 3–10 cm diameter, white or pink, with (in most species) a sometimes inflated basal epicalyx. The genus bears much similarity to a related genus ''Convolvulus'', and is sometimes combined with it; it is distinguished primarily by the pollen being smooth, and in the ovary (plants), ovary being Locule, unilocular. Some of the species, notably ''Calystegia sepium'' and ''Calystegia silvatica, C. silvatica'', are problematic weeds, which can swamp other more valuable plants by climbing over them, but some are ...

Calystegia Sepium
''Calystegia sepium'' (hedge bindweed, Rutland beauty, bugle vine, heavenly trumpets, bellbind, granny-pop-out-of-bed and many others) is a species of flowering plant in the family Convolvulaceae. It has a cosmopolitan distribution, subcosmopolitan distribution throughout temperate regions of the North and South hemispheres.

The leaves are arranged alternately on the spiralling stem; they are dull green above and paler below, simple and sagittate (arrowhead shaped), long and broad. The flowers are white, sometimes with pink windows, produced from late spring to the end of summer (between July and September in northern Europe). The buds are enclosed by large ( long), ovate-lanceolate, green bracts, bracteoles with keels and burgundy margins; during anthesis they do not (or scarcely) overlap. The open flowers are trumpet-shaped, diameter. Aft ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Calystegia Silvatica
''Calystegia silvatica'' (large bindweed) is the largest species of Calystegia, bindweed and is a strong rampant climber. It is native to southern Europe but has been introduced to many other areas because it is an attractive garden plant. ''Calystegia silvatica'' subsp. ''fraterniflora'' (Mack. & Bush) Brummitt (short-stalked false bindweed) is native to North America. It has large, arrow-shaped leaves and showy white trumpet-shaped flowers up to 9 centimeters in diameter. It is considered a weed in some areas where it has escaped plant, escaped cultivation and now grows wild. It spreads easily via hardy rhizomes. There are several subspecies. Description Large bindweed is a Glabrousness, glabrous herbaceous perennial plant, perennial that twines in a counter-clockwise direction to a height of up to 5 m. The leaves are arranged alternately on the spiralling stem on petioles up to 15 cm. The leaves are dull green above and paler below, simple and sagittate (arrowhead shaped) ...

Calystegia Collina
''Calystegia collina'' is a species of morning glory known by the common name Coast Range false bindweed. It is endemic to the Coast Ranges of northern and central California, where it grows on slopes and in woodlands, often on serpentine soils. Description ''Calystegia collina'' is a rhizomatous perennial herb with densely hairy stems and foliage. The stem lies flat and generally does not climb as many other morning glories do. It reaches a maximum length of about 30 centimeters. The small leaves are kidney-shaped or deeply lobed and are wavy or crinkly along the edges. The inflorescence In botany, an inflorescence is a group or cluster of flowers arranged on a plant's Plant stem, stem that is composed of a main branch or a system of branches. An inflorescence is categorized on the basis of the arrangement of flowers on a mai ... holds a single white flower 2 to 5 centimeters wide when fully open.

Calystegia Affinis
''Calystegia affinis'' is a critically endangered species of climbing or creeping vine in the plant family Convolvulaceae. It is endemic to Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island. In 2003 only about 45 mature plants were known, with about 40 of those on Norfolk Island. Etymology The genus name, '' Calystegia'' is derived from the Greek: , "cup", and , "a covering", meaning "a covering cup" and refers to the bracteoles enclosing the calyx. The specific epithet, ''affinis'', is Latin for 'neighbouring', which was possibly chosen by Endlicher on the basis of his comment that the species was closely allied to '' Calystegia marginata''. Description ''Calystegia affinis'' is a thin-stemmed plant in the genus '' Calystegia'' which climbs by twining. It has sparse alternate, arrow-headed leaves about 6 cm x 5 cm. The flowers are axillary, solitary, pink with five cream longitudinal bands and are funnel-shaped. They have large persistent bracteoles enclosing the calyx which ha ...

Small Angle Shades
The small angle shades (''Euplexia lucipara'') is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is distributed throughout the Palearctic. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae''. As the common name suggests, this species is closely related to the angle shades (''Phlogophora meticulosa''), and is considerably smaller (wingspan 30–35 mm), but does not especially resemble that species. The forewings are dark brown with a broad, pale subterminal band, wider and paler towards the costa. The hindwings are whitish at the base, graduating to brown at the margins. In the British Isles this species flies at night in June and July, with a second generation sometimes emerging in September. It is attracted to light and sugar. Distribution It is found throughout Europe, in Algeria, in western Asia and through the Palearctic to Siberia, China, and Japan.
