Diarthron Issykkulense
''Diarthron'' is a genus of flowering plant in the family Thymelaeaceae. The precise limits of the genus are uncertain. When broadly circumscribed to include ''Dendrostellera'' and ''Stelleropsis'', it consists of annual and perennial herbaceous plants and small shrubs, with reddish, white or green flowers lacking petals. It includes 16 species which range from southern European Russia and the Caucasus through Western and Central Asia through China and Mongolia to Korea and the Russian Far East. Description When broadly circumscribed (i.e. including ''Dendrostellera'' and ''Stelleropsis''), ''Diarthron'' is a genus of annual or perennial herbaceous plants or short deciduous shrubs. Prior to a review in 1982, only the annual species were placed in ''Diarthron'', with the perennial herbs being in ''Stelleropsis'' and the shrubs in ''Dendrostellera''. The flowers lack petals. There are usually four (sometimes five) sepals, united at the base into a tube with lobes at the end, reddish ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nikolai Turczaninow
Nikolai Stepanovich Turczaninow (; 1796 – ) was a Russian botanist and plant collector who first identified several genera and many species of plants. Education and career Born in 1796, Turczaninow attended high school in Kharkov. In 1814, he graduated from Kharkov University, before working as a civil servant for the Ministry of Finance in St. Petersburg. Soon after, in 1825, Turczaninow published his first botanical list. Despite being employed in a different field, he continued his largely self-taught botanical work. In 1828, he was assigned an administrative post in Irkutsk, Siberia. This allowed him to collect in the Lake Baikal area, which is known for its rich biodiversity. A spate of papers followed, and Turczaninow established his own herbarium containing plants from the region. In 1830, he was appointed a Fellow of the Imperial Botanic Garden St. Petersburg (now the Saint Petersburg Botanical Garden), and charged with collecting plants from Siberia. In the early ...

Edgeworthia
''Edgeworthia'' (paper bush) is a genus of plants in the family Thymelaeaceae. When the genus was first described, it was published twice in the same year (1841), in two separate publications: '; and ''Denkschriften der Regensburgischen Botanischen Gesellschaft.'' The genus was named in honour of Michael Pakenham Edgeworth, an Irish botanist and official in the Bengal Civil Service, then stationed in India, and for his half-sister, writer Maria Edgeworth. In: ''Denkschriften der Regensburgischen Botanischen Gesellschaft.'' Regensburg. iii. (1841) 280. t. 6. Trichotomous branching At least one member of the genus, '' Edgeworthia chrysantha'', has the extremely unusual ability to branch trichotomously - the apical meristem forming the end of each stem splits into three sections at once, leading to its Japanese name . This trait is shared with no other known flowering plant Flowering plants are plants that bear flowers and fruits, and form the clade Angiospermae (). T ...
