Besleria Subulata
''Besleria'' is a genus of large herbs and soft-stemmed subshrubs or shrubs in the flowering plant family Gesneriaceae. It includes 176 species native to tropical southern Mexico, Central America, South America, and the West Indies. The closely related genus ''Gasteranthus'' was previously included in ''Besleria''. The two genera have been separated on the basis of stomatal (aggregated in ''Gasteranthus'', scattered in ''Besleria'') and fruit (fleshy capsule in ''Gasteranthus'', berry in ''Besleria'') characters.Wiehler (1975) Species 176 species are accepted. * ''Besleria affinis'' * '' Besleria aggregata'' * ''Besleria amabilis'' * ''Besleria angusta'' * ''Besleria angustiflora'' * ''Besleria arborescens'' * ''Besleria arbusta'' * ''Besleria ardens'' * ''Besleria aristeguitae'' * ''Besleria attenuata'' * ''Besleria aurea'' * ''Besleria azulensis'' * ''Besleria barbata'' * ''Besleria barbensis'' * ''Besleria barclayi'' * '' Besleria beltranii'' * ''Besleria bol ...

Berry (botany)
In botany, a berry is a fleshy fruit without a drupe, drupe (pit) produced from a single flower containing one Ovary (botany), ovary. Berries so defined include grapes, Ribes, currants, and tomatoes, as well as cucumbers, eggplants (aubergines), persimmons and bananas, but exclude certain fruits that meet the berry, culinary definition of berries, such as strawberries and raspberries. The berry is the most common type of fleshy fruit in which the entire outer layer of the ovary wall ripens into a potentially edible "pericarp". Berries may be formed from one or more gynoecium, carpels from the same flower (i.e. from a simple or a compound ovary). The seeds are usually embedded in the fleshy interior of the ovary, but there are some non-fleshy exceptions, such as ''Capsicum'' species, with air rather than pulp around their seeds. Many berries are edible, but others, such as the Potato fruit, fruits of the potato and the deadly nightshade, are poisonous to humans. A plant that be ...
