Iostephane Papposa
''Iostephane'' is a genus of Mexico, Mexican flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. They were first published in G.Bentham & J.D.Hooker, Genera Plantarum Vol.2 on page 368 in 1873. The species are rosette-forming herbaceous Perennial plants, perennials that produce relatively large heads with yellow or purple (''I. heterophylla'') rays. They have large, somewhat quadrate cypselae (achenes), that may either have or lack a Pappus (botany), pappus. Molecular phylogenetic studies by Schilling in 1991, suggested that there is an unexpectedly close relationship between ''Iostephane'' and ''Dendroviguiera'' (formerly ''Viguiera'' sect. ''Maculatae''), a genus of shrubs and trees that is also endemic to Mexico.Schilling, E, E. and J. L. Panero 2011. A revised classification of subtribe Helianthinae (Asteraceae: Heliantheae). II.

Benth
George Bentham (22 September 1800 – 10 September 1884) was an English botanist, described by the weed botanist Duane Isely as "the premier systematic botanist of the nineteenth century". Born into a distinguished family, he initially studied law, but had a fascination with botany from an early age, which he soon pursued, becoming president of the Linnaean Society in 1861, and a fellow of the Royal Society in 1862. He was the author of a number of important botanical works, particularly flora. He is best known for his taxonomic classification of plants in collaboration with Joseph Dalton Hooker, his ''Genera Plantarum'' (1862–1883). He died in London in 1884. Life Bentham was born in Stoke, Plymouth, on 22 September 1800. His father, Sir Samuel Bentham, a naval architect, was the only brother of Jeremy Bentham to survive into adulthood. His mother, Mary Sophia Bentham, was a botanist and author. Bentham had no formal education but had a remarkable linguistic aptitude. By ...

Oaxaca
Oaxaca, officially the Free and Sovereign State of Oaxaca, is one of the 32 states that compose the political divisions of Mexico, Federative Entities of the Mexico, United Mexican States. It is divided into municipalities of Oaxaca, 570 municipalities, of which 418 (almost three quarters) are governed by the system of (customs and traditions) with recognized local forms of self-governance. Its capital city is Oaxaca City, Oaxaca de Juárez. Oaxaca is in southern Mexico. It is bordered by the states of Guerrero to the west, Puebla to the northwest, Veracruz to the north, and Chiapas to the east. To the south, Oaxaca has a significant coastline on the Pacific Ocean. The state is best known for #Indigenous peoples, its indigenous peoples and cultures. The most numerous and best known are the Zapotec peoples, Zapotecs and the Mixtecs, but 16 are officially recognized. These cultures have survived better than most others in Mexico due to the state's rugged and isolating terrain. M ...

Endemic Flora Of Mexico
Endemism is the state of a species being found only in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, the Cape sugarbird is found exclusively in southwestern South Africa and is therefore said to be ''endemic'' to that particular part of the world. An endemic species can also be referred to as an ''endemism'' or, in scientific literature, as an ''endemite''. Similarly, many species found in the Western ghats of India are examples of endemism. Endemism is an important concept in conservation biology for measuring biodiversity in a particular place and evaluating the risk of extinction for species. Endemism is also of interest in evolutionary biology, because it provides clues about how changes in the environment cause species to undergo range shifts (potentially expanding their range into a larger area or becomin ...

Heliantheae
The Heliantheae (sometimes called the sunflower tribe) are the third-largest Tribe (biology), tribe in the sunflower family (Asteraceae). With some 190 genera and nearly 2500 recognized species, only the tribes Senecioneae and Astereae are larger. The name is derived from the genus ''Helianthus'', which is Ancient Greek, Greek for sun flower. Most genera and species are found in North America (particularly in Mexico) and South America. A few genera are pantropical. Most Heliantheae are herbs or shrubs, but some grow to the size of small trees. Leaves are usually trichome, hairy and arranged in opposite pairs. The anthers are usually blackened. The above statements about the size and distribution of the tribe apply to a broad definition of Heliantheae, which was followed throughout the 20th century. Some recent authors break the tribe up into a dozen or so smaller tribes. Uses Commercially important plants in the Heliantheae include sunflower and Jerusalem artichoke. Many gar ...

Puebla
Puebla, officially the Free and Sovereign State of Puebla, is one of the 31 states that, along with Mexico City, comprise the Federal Entities of Mexico. It is divided into 217 municipalities and its capital is Puebla City. Part of east-central Mexico, it is bordered by the states of Veracruz to the north and east, Hidalgo, México, Tlaxcala and Morelos to the west, and Guerrero and Oaxaca to the south. The origins of the state lie in the city of Puebla, which was founded by the Spanish in this valley in 1531 to secure the trade route between Mexico City and the port of Veracruz. By the end of the 18th century, the area had become a colonial province with its own governor, which would become the State of Puebla, after the Mexican War of Independence in the early 19th century. Since that time the area, especially around the capital city, has continued to grow economically, mostly through industry, despite being the scene of a number of battles, the most notable of which bei ...

Iostephane Trilobata
''Iostephane'' is a genus of Mexican flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. They were first published in G.Bentham & J.D.Hooker, Genera Plantarum Vol.2 on page 368 in 1873. The species are rosette-forming herbaceous perennials that produce relatively large heads with yellow or purple (''I. heterophylla'') rays. They have large, somewhat quadrate cypselae (achenes), that may either have or lack a pappus. Molecular phylogenetic studies by Schilling in 1991, suggested that there is an unexpectedly close relationship between ''Iostephane'' and '' Dendroviguiera'' (formerly ''Viguiera'' sect. ''Maculatae''), a genus of shrubs and trees that is also endemic to Mexico.Schilling, E, E. and J. L. Panero 2011. A revised classification of subtribe Helianthinae (Asteraceae: Heliantheae). II.
