Nahuatlea
''Nahuatlea'' is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family, Asteraceae. It includes seven species which range from southern Texas to southern Mexico. The species which constitute genus ''Nahuatlea'' were originally placed in genus ''Gochnatia''. It was later discovered that ''Gochnatia'' was not monophyletic, and included a number of distinct clades. In 2017 Vicki Funk combined Mexican species of ''Gochnatia'' into a new genus ''Nahuatlea''. Funk concluded that the genus is a sister to the Caribbean genus ''Anastraphia'', and their common ancestor originated from South America in a dispersal event, evidenced by the fact that the Mexican ''Gochnatia'' (now ''Nahuatlea'') are more morphologically similar to the Andean The Andes ( ), Andes Mountains or Andean Mountain Range (; ) are the longest continental mountain range in the world, forming a continuous highland along the western edge of South America. The range is long and wide (widest between 18°S ... memb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nahuatlea Arborescens
''Nahuatlea aborescens'' is a species of tree in the Composite family endemic to the Cape region and Cerralvo Island of Baja California Sur, commonly known as ocote. It grows up to 8 meters tall, with monoecious tan-colored flowers and short, leafy branchlets. It was formerly in the genus ''Gochnatia'', where it was known commonly as the tree gochnatia. Description This plant grows in a tree habit, 3 to 8 m tall, and with a trunk 20 to 30 cm in diameter. The leaves are chartaceous (meaning resembling paper or parchment), and shaped ovate to elliptic, glabrescent (nearly smooth) on both faces. The leaf blades are 3.5 to 6.5 cm long by 2.5 to 4.5 cm wide. The leaf petiole is 5 mm long. The inflorescence is crowded at the ends of the branches. The flower heads are solitary or more usually in loose clusters of 2 to 20 at the apex of the branches, with few clusters per plant. There are 13 to 20 flowers per head, with yellowish corollas, 12 mm long. The involucre is shaped cylindri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gochnatia
''Gochnatia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the daisy family, Asteraceae. It is named for botanist Frédéric Karl Gochnat. The genus contains mainly shrubs and subshrubs, with a few trees and herbs. All of the species are native to the American tropics. Two species native to the mountains of Southeast Asia and formerly included here are now separated as the genus ''Leucomeris'' in subfamily Wunderlichioideae. These plants produce flower heads containing whitish or yellow disc florets each with five deep lobes. The style has short, smooth branches, and the fruit is a lightly hairy cypsela with a pappus of bristles or scales.González-Medrano, F., et al.

Vicki Ann Funk (November 26, 1947 – October 22, 2019) was an American botanist and curator at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, known for her work on members of the composite family (Asteraceae) including collecting plants in many parts of the world, as well as her synthetic work on phylogenetics and biogeography. Biography Funk was born on November 26, 1947, in Owensboro, Kentucky, to Edwin Joseph and Betty Ann (''née'' Massenburg) Funk. She had two brothers, Edwin Jr. and Jared Kirk. She grew up in Owensboro and at a few United States Air Force bases before she was in elementary school.
