Androsace
''Androsace'', commonly known as rock jasmine, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Primulaceae, second only to '' Primula'' in the number of species. It is predominantly Arctic–alpine, with many species in the Himalayas (where the genus originated), the mountains of central Asia, the Caucasus, and the southern and central European mountain systems, particularly the Alps and the Pyrenees. Plants of this genus are sometimes known as rock jasmines or fairy candelabras, and are widely cultivated for their dense cushions covered in white or pink flowers. There are roughly 110 species. These plants have small entire or toothed leaves which form a basal rosette. Taxonomy Recent molecular studies show that the genera ''Douglasia'' (found in north-western North America and easternmost Siberia), ''Pomatosace'' (an Himalayan endemic) and ''Vitaliana'' (a European endemic) are nested within ''Androsace''. Phylogenetic studies have also demonstrated that the ancestor of ''Andro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Androsace Americana
''Androsace americana'', synonym ''Douglasia arctica'', known as the Mackenzie River dwarf primrose, is a species of flowering plant in the primrose family, Primulaceae. It is native to subarctic North America (Alaska, the Northwest Territories and Yukon). Taxonomy The species was first described by William Jackson Hooker in 1838 as ''Douglasia arctica''. Molecular phylogenetic studies showed that the genus ''Douglasia'' is nested within '' Androsace''. The name "''Androsace artica''" was published in 1826 for a different species (now regarded as a synonym of ''Androsace ochotensis''), so the replacement name In biological nomenclature, a ''nomen novum'' ( Latin for "new name"), new replacement name (or replacement name, new substitute name, substitute name) is a scientific name that is created specifically to replace another scientific name, but only ... ''Androsace americana'', published by Per Wendelbo in 1961, is used instead. Description ''Androsace americana'' are r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Primulaceae
The Primulaceae , commonly known as the primrose family (but not related to the evening primrose family), are a family of herbaceous and woody flowering plants including some favourite garden plants and wildflowers. Most are perennial though some species, such as scarlet pimpernel, are annuals. Previously one of three families in the order Primulales, it underwent considerable generic re-alignment once molecular phylogenetic methods were used for taxonomic classification. The order was then submerged in a much enlarged order Ericales and became a greatly enlarged Primulaceae ''sensu lato'' (''s.l''). In this new classification of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, each of the Prumulales families was reduced to the rank of subfamily of Primulaceae ''s.l.'' The original Primulaceae (Primulaceae ''sensu stricto'' or ''s.s.'') then became subfamily Primuloideae, and one genus (''Maesa'') was raised to the rank of a separate subfamily, making four in all.
