Jamesonia
''Jamesonia'' is a genus of ferns in the subfamily Pteridoideae of the family Pteridaceae. It now includes the formerly separate genus ''Eriosorus''. Description Species of ''Jamesonia'' are terrestrial or grow on rocks. They vary considerably in their detailed morphology. The rhizomes are short, dark brown, and creeping, with a more or less dense covering of hairs and bristles. The fertile and infertile fronds are similar. Species show one of two different frond morphologies, related to habitat. These were formerly used to distinguish ''Jamesonia'' and ''Eriosorus'', but do not correspond to the evolutionary history of the species. Species with "''Jamesonia''-type" morphology have many fronds with short, often leathery pinnae, and are associated with exposed habitats. Species with "''Eriosorus''-type" morphology have fewer fronds with longer, thinner pinnae, and are associated with more sheltered areas including cloud forests. The stalks ( petioles and rachises) of the frond ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pteridaceae
Pteridaceae is a family of ferns in the order Polypodiales, including some 1150 known species in ca 45 genera (depending on taxonomic opinions), divided over five subfamilies. The family includes four groups of genera that are sometimes recognized as separate families: the adiantoid, cheilanthoid, pteridoid, and hemionitidoid ferns. Relationships among these groups remain unclear, and although some recent genetic analyses of the Pteridales suggest that neither the family Pteridaceae nor the major groups within it are all monophyletic, as yet these analyses are insufficiently comprehensive and robust to provide good support for a revision of the order at the family level. Description Members of Pteridaceae have creeping or erect rhizomes. The leaves are almost always compound and have linear sori that are typically on the margins of the leaves and lack a true indusium, typically being protected by a false indusium formed from the reflexed margin of the leaf.

William Jameson (botanist, Born 1796)
William ("Gulielmo") Jameson (1796–1873) was a Scottish-Ecuadorian botanist. He was born in Edinburgh and studied at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. He made several voyages as a ship's surgeon, first to Baffin Bay, then to South America. In 1826 he settled in Quito, Ecuador. He was then appointed professor of chemistry and botany at Universidad Central del Ecuador. He went back to Edinburgh in 1869, returned to Quito in 1872, and died shortly thereafter. Jameson made botanical investigations and collections in Greenland, Ecuador and in other South American countries. He began writing a flora of Ecuador, ''Synopsis Plantarum Aequatoriensium'', of which Volumes 1 and 2 were published in 1865. The work was not completed. Jameson is commemorated in the name of the Andean snipe ('' Gallinago jamesoni)'', and a species of Buddleja bush found in Ecuador, '' Buddleja jamesonii''. As well as '' Jamesonia'' by in the Pteridaceae family, first published in 1830, and '' Ja ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pteridoideae
''Pteridoideae'' is one of the five subfamilies of the fern family Pteridaceae. This subfamily contains about 14 genera and around 400 species. Taxonomy Phylogeny The following diagram shows a likely phylogenic relationship between Pteridoideae and the other the Pteridaceae subfamilies. The cladogram below shows one hypothesis for the evolutionary relationships among the genera of the Pteridoideae, based on a maximum likelihood analysis using six plastid markers. The authors of the study identified four major clades. The ''Pteris'' and JAPSTT clades are found worldwide; the GAPCC clade is pantropical; and the ''Actiniopteris''+''Onychium'' clade is restricted to the Old World. Genera The Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I) recognized 13 genera. Shortly afterwards, the genus ''Gastoniella'' was created for three species formerly placed in ''Anogramma'' which a Molecular phylogenetics, molecular phylogenetic analysis had shown to be distinct. * ''Actini ...

Tryonia (plant)
''Tryonia'' is a genus of ferns in the subfamily Pteridoideae of the family Pteridaceae. Species are native to the east of Brazil and to Uruguay. The genus was circumscribed by Eric Schuettpelz, Jefferson Prado and Alyssa T. Cochran in PhytoKeys vol.35 on page 35 in 2014. The genus name of ''Tryonia'' is in honour of Alice F. Tryon (1920–2009), who was an American botanist (mainly pteridology). She examined the taxonomy of the fern genera ''Jamesonia ''Jamesonia'' is a genus of ferns in the subfamily Pteridoideae of the family Pteridaceae.

Ecuador
Ecuador, officially the Republic of Ecuador, is a country in northwestern South America, bordered by Colombia on the north, Peru on the east and south, and the Pacific Ocean on the west. It also includes the Galápagos Province which contains the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific, about west of the mainland. The country's Capital city, capital is Quito and its largest city is Guayaquil. The land that comprises modern-day Ecuador was once home to several groups of Indigenous peoples in Ecuador, indigenous peoples that were gradually incorporated into the Inca Empire during the 15th century. The territory was Spanish colonization of the Americas, colonized by the Spanish Empire during the 16th century, achieving independence in 1820 as part of Gran Colombia, from which it emerged as a sovereign state in 1830. The legacy of both empires is reflected in Ecuador's ethnically diverse population, with most of its million people being mestizos, followed by large minorities of Europe ...

Robert Kaye Greville
Dr. Robert Kaye Greville FRSE FLS LLD (13 December 1794 – 4 June 1866) was an England, English mycologist, bryology, bryologist, and botanist. He was an accomplished artist and illustrator of natural history. In addition to art and science he was interested in causes like Abolitionism in the United Kingdom, abolitionism, capital punishment, keeping Sunday special and the temperance movement. He has a mountain in Queensland named after him. Biography Greville was born at Bishop Auckland, County Durham, Durham, but was brought up in Derbyshire by his parents Dorothy ( Chaloner) and Robert Greville. His father who liked to compose was the rector of St James' Church, Edlaston, the parish church in Edlaston in Derbyshire. Greville had an interest in natural history since he was very young, but he originally studied medicine. Realising that he did not need an income he discarded four years of medical education in London and Edinburgh and decided to concentrated on botany which ...
