Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné,#Blunt, Blunt (2004), p. 171. was a Swedish biologist and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was the son of a curate and was born in Råshult, in the countryside of Småland, southern Sweden. He received most of his higher education at Uppsala University and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730. He lived abroad between 1735 and 1738, where he studied and also published the first edition of his ' in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden where he became professor of medicine and botany at Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In the 1750s and 1760s, he co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Taxa Named By Carl Linnaeus
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; : taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion, especially in the context of rank-based (" Linnaean") nomenclature (much less so under phylogenetic nomenclature). If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were presumably set forth in prehistoric times by hunter-gatherers, as suggested by the fairly sophisticated folk taxonomies. Much later, Aristotle, and later still ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Melothria Sphaerocarpa
''Melothria sphaerocarpa'' is a species of melon native from southern Mexico and the Dominican Republic through Central America to tropical South America. It has been introduced to western tropical Africa, where has been known under the synonym ''Cucumeropsis mannii'', and is grown for food and as a source of oil, more often for the seed oil than for the fruit. Its common names include ''egusi'' in Yoruba, egwusi'' in Igbo and ''agushi'' in Hausa. Vernacular names for this crop include ''egusi-itoo''. In English it is known as Mann's cucumeropsis and white-seed melon.[ Egunjobi, J.K. & Adebisi, A.A. (2004). "''Cucumeropsis mannii'' Naudin". Grubben, G.J.H. & Denton, O.A. (Ed).

Melothria Scabra
''Melothria scabra'', commonly known as the cucamelon, Mexican miniature watermelon, Mexican sour cucumber, Mexican sour gherkin, mouse melon, or pepquinos, is a species of flowering plant in the cucurbit family grown for its edible fruit. Its native range spans Mexico to Venezuela. Fruits are about the size of grapes and taste like cucumbers with a tinge of sourness. It may have been eaten by indigenous peoples before the European colonization of the Americas began. Description ''Melothria scabra'' is a vine similar in morphology to '' Melothria pendula''. It has a climbing habit, and typically grows tall. It is fast growing: germination under favourable conditions takes approximately 10 days, with plants reaching maturity in approximately 60–75 days. It is a perennial species, but as it is not frost hardy it is often grown as an annual. Its leaves have three or five lobes, and are in length and width. The leaf margin is undulate or dentate, the apex is caudate, and the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Melothria Pringlei
''Melothria pringlei'' is a species of flowering plant in the cucurbit family, with a native range spanning Mexico to Honduras. It was first described by Sereno Watson in 1890 and placed in the genus '' Apodanthera'', but was reclassified as belonging to the genus ''Melothria'' in 1954 by Raul Martinez Crovetto. ''Melothria pringlei'' has a prostrate habit, with scabrous stems that root where they touch the ground. Its leaves are scabrous and lobed, and grow in length, with a slightly smaller width. It is a monoecious species, with each plant producing both male (staminate) and female (pistillate) flowers Flowers, also known as blooms and blossoms, are the reproductive structures of flowering plants ( angiosperms). Typically, they are structured in four circular levels, called whorls, around the end of a stalk. These whorls include: calyx, m ..., which are small.
