Didymocarpoideae
The Didymocarpoideae are a subfamily of plants in the family Gesneriaceae. It was formerly the subfamily Cyrtandroideae. This subfamily consists mostly of Tropics, tropical and Subtropics, subtropical Old World genera, found in Africa, Asia and the Pacific. One species (''Rhynchoglossum azureum'') is native to Central and South America. Description Didymocarpoideae is one of two main subfamilies in the Gesneriaceae, the other being Gesnerioideae. (The third subfamily, Sanangoideae, contains only the genus ''Sanango''.) Didymocarpoideae seedlings usually have cotyledons which become different in size and shape (anisocotylous). One cotyledon ceases to grow at some point and then withers away. The other continues to grow, and in extreme cases may grow to become very large and be the only leaf on the plant (''Monophyllaea'', some ''Streptocarpus''). Didymocarpoideae flowers usually have two fertile stamens, less often four and rarely one or five. The Ovary (botany), ovary is always ...

Gesneriaceae
Gesneriaceae, the gesneriad family, is a family (biology), family of flowering plants consisting of about 152 genera and ca. 3,540 species in the tropics and subtropics of the Old World (almost all Didymocarpoideae) and the New World (most Gesnerioideae), with a very small number extending to temperate areas. Many species have colorful and showy flowers and are cultivated as ornamental plants. Etymology The family name is based on the genus ''Gesneria'', which honours Switzerland, Swiss naturalist and humanism, humanist Conrad Gessner. Description Most species are herbaceous plant, herbaceous perennial plant, perennials or subshrubs but a few are woody shrubs or small trees. The phyllotaxy is usually opposite and decussate, but leaves have a spiral or alternate arrangement in some groups. As with other members of the Lamiales the flowers have a (usually) zygomorphic corolla whose petals are fused into a tube and there is no one character that separates a gesneriad from any o ...

Gesnerioideae
The Gesnerioideae are a subfamily of plants in the family Gesneriaceae: based on the type genus ''Gesneria''. Although genera typically originate in the New World, some species have become widely distributed as ornamental plants. Description Gesnerioideae is one of two main subfamilies in the Gesneriaceae, the other being Didymocarpoideae. (The third subfamily, Sanangoideae, contains only the genus ''Sanango''.) Gesnerioideae seedlings have normal cotyledons of the same size and shape (isocotylous), whereas the cotyledons of Didymocarpoideae are usually, but not always, eventually different in size and shape (anisocotylous). Gesnerioideae flowers usually have four fertile stamens, rarely two or five. In other respects, Gesnerioideae species are very variable. The Ovary (botany), ovary may be superior, semi-inferior or inferior, and the fruit takes various forms. Taxonomy The original use of the name for the subfamily is attributed to Gilbert Thomas Burnett in 1835. Burnett divide ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
