Beauverdia Hirtella
''Beauverdia'' is a genus of South American plants in the onion subfamily within Amaryllis family, native to Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. The plants are bulb-forming perennial herbs. Affinities and classification of the species are unresolved at present, and require additional investigation. In 1972, genus '' Ipheion'' was divided into two sections, '' Hirtellum'' and '' Ipheion''. However, the development of phylogenetic analysis revealed that '' Ipheion'' was not monophyletic, although the division into sections was later supported. ''Beauverdia'' Herter had been first described in 1943 as a genus with 10 species. Originally it was created to distinguish those species with single-flowered inflorescences from others with many-flowered inflorescences within ''Nothoscordum'' and other genera, some of them no longer considered members of the Amaryllidaceae. Some authors declined to regard the group as a distinct genus, preferring to consider the name a synonym of '' Ipheion.'' ...

Inflorescences
An inflorescence is a group or cluster of flowers arranged on a stem that is composed of a main branch or a complicated arrangement of branches. Morphologically, it is the modified part of the shoot of seed plants where flowers are formed on the axis of a plant. The modifications can involve the length and the nature of the internodes and the phyllotaxis, as well as variations in the proportions, compressions, swellings, adnations, connations and reduction of main and secondary axes. One can also define an inflorescence as the reproductive portion of a plant that bears a cluster of flowers in a specific pattern. The stem holding the whole inflorescence is called a peduncle. The major axis (incorrectly referred to as the main stem) above the peduncle bearing the flowers or secondary branches is called the rachis. The stalk of each flower in the inflorescence is called a pedicel. A flower that is not part of an inflorescence is called a solitary flower and its stalk is als ...

Tristagma Uniflorum
''Ipheion uniflorum'' is a species of flowering plant, related to the onions, so is placed in the allium subfamily (Allioideae) of the Amaryllidaceae. It is known by the common name springstar, or spring starflower. Along with all the species of the genus ''Ipheion'', some sources place it in the genus '' Tristagma'', but research published in 2010 suggested that this is not correct. It is native to Argentina and Uruguay, but is widely cultivated as an ornamental and reportedly naturalized in Great Britain, France, Australia, New Zealand and the United States. Description This is a small herbaceous perennial growing from a bulb and producing flat, shiny, green, hairless, grasslike leaves up to long. The foliage has an onionlike scent when crushed. The stem grows up to tall and bears a solitary showy flower in spring (hence the Latin name ''uniflorum'' - "single flower"). Each honey-scented, star-shaped flower has six pointed lobes up to 3 centimeters long in shades of very pal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The state shares a gaucho culture with its neighbors Argentina and Uruguay. Befo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Beauverdia Vittata
''Beauverdia'' is a genus of South American plants in the Allioideae, onion subfamily within Amaryllidaceae, Amaryllis family, native to Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina.

Entre Ríos Province
Entre Ríos (, "Between Rivers") is a central province of Argentina, located in the Mesopotamia region. It borders the provinces of Buenos Aires (south), Corrientes (north) and Santa Fe (west), and Uruguay in the east. Its capital is Paraná (250,000 inhabitants), which lies on the Paraná River, opposite the city of Santa Fe. Together with Córdoba and Santa Fe, since 1999, the province is part of the economic-political association known as the Center Region. History The first inhabitants of the area that is now Entre Ríos were the Charrúa and Chaná who each occupied separate parts of the region. Spaniards entered in 1520, when Rodríguez Serrano ventured up the Uruguay River searching for the Pacific Ocean. The first permanent Spanish settlement was erected in the current La Paz Department at the end of the 16th century. As governor of Asunción first and then of Buenos Aires, Hernandarias conducted expeditions to Entre Ríos unexplored lands. Juan de Garay, ...

Corrientes Province
Corrientes (, ‘currents’ or ‘streams’; gn, Taragui), officially the Province of Corrientes ( es, Provincia de Corrientes; gn, Taragüí Tetãmini) is a province in northeast Argentina, in the Mesopotamia region. It is surrounded by (from the north, clockwise): Paraguay, the province of Misiones, Brazil, Uruguay, and the provinces of Entre Rios, Santa Fe and Chaco.

The city of Corrientes was founded on April 3, 1588 by Juan Torres de Vera y Aragón as a mid-stop between Asunción and Buenos Aires; the city flourished thanks to the traffic from the route. Jesuits erected missions in the north of the province, where they dedicated themselves to the expansion of the faith. In the wars of independence from Spain, Corrientes joined Artigas' ''Liga de los Pueblos Libres'' (1814–1820). The attack of P ...
