Ochagavia
''Ochagavia'' is a plant genus in the plant family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Bromelioideae. The genus is named for Silvestre Ochagavía Errázuriz, a Chilean lawyer and minister of education from the 19th century. It is endemic to southern and central Chile (including the Juan Fernández Islands). This genus is represented by four accepted species. ''Ochagavia'' species are morphologically similar to the monotypic genus '' Fascicularia'' in terms of leaf anatomy. They can be distinguished by floral morphology, habitat (''Ochagavia'' species are terrestrial or saxicolous and ''Fascicularia'' is an epiphyte An epiphyte is a plant or plant-like organism that grows on the surface of another plant and derives its moisture and nutrients from the air, rain, water (in marine environments) or from debris accumulating around it.

Ochagavia Elegans
''Ochagavia elegans'' is a plant species in the genus ''Ochagavia'', endemic to Robinson Crusoe Island in the Juan Fernández Islands of Chile. Distinguished by its caulescent (stem-forming) habit and thick, spiny leaves, ''Ochagavia elegans'' typically grows on steep rocky cliffs in xeric, high-insolation environments. The species forms large colonies through vegetative reproduction and is morphologically and geographically distinct from its mainland relatives, ''Ochagavia carnea'' and ''Ochagavia chamissonis''. Taxonomy The genus ''Ochagavia'' was first established in 1856 by Rodolfo Amando Philippi, who named it in honor of Silvestre Ochagavía, Chile's Minister of Education from 1853 to 1854. The original description included only ''Ochagavia elegans'', which remains the type species of the genus. Later that same year, Philippi published a second description intended for a European audience. In his 1896 monograph on the Bromeliaceae, Carl Christian Mez reclassified ''Ocha ...

''Ochagavia litoralis'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Bromeliaceae. It is endemic to Chile. Its common names include ''calilla'' and ''chupón''.Zizka, G., et al. (2002)Revision of the genus ''Ochagavia'' (Bromeliaceae, Bromelioideae).''Willdenowia'' 32(2), 331-50. This species has a stem that may exceed 20 centimeters in length and produces offsets that can form colonies. The narrow, pointed leaves are 17 to 38 centimeters long. They are leathery in texture and whitish and scaly on the undersides. The inflorescence is spherical or oval and contains up to 35 flowers. It is up to about 8 centimeters long and wide and is borne on a stalk up to 12 centimeters long. The flowers are a few centimeters long and each has three pink petals. They are surrounded by bracts. The stamens and style protrude from the flower. The fruit is a berry 2 to 3 centimeters long. This plant is limited to central Chile, where it occurs in the coastal regions.

Bromelioideae
Bromelioideae is a subfamily of the bromeliads (Bromeliaceae). This subfamily is the most diverse in the family, represented by the greatest number of genera with about 40. Most of the plants in this group are epiphytes, though some have evolved in, or will adapt to, terrestrial conditions. This subfamily features the most plant types which are commonly cultivated by people, including the pineapple. __TOC__ Description The foliage in most bromelioides grows to form a rosette where water is caught and stored. Their leaves are usually spined and they produce berry-like fruits in their blooms. These plants contain an inferior ovary. Genera , the Encyclopaedia of Bromeliads listed 39 genera, plus one hybrid genus (×''Hohenmea'' B.R.Silva & L.F.Sousa) and one genus with no species listed, that Plants of the World Online treated as an artificial hybrid genus (×''Cryptbergia'' R.G.Wilson & C.L.Wilson). A further genus, '' Hylaeaicum'', was separated from '' Neoregelia'' in 2021. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bromeliaceae
The Bromeliaceae (the bromeliads) are a family of monocot flowering plants of about 80 genera and 3700 known species, native mainly to the tropical Americas, with several species found in the American subtropics and one in tropical west Africa, '' Pitcairnia feliciana''. It is among the basal families within the Poales and is the only family within the order that has septal nectaries and inferior ovaries.Judd, Walter S. Plant systematics a phylogenetic approach. 3rd ed. Sunderland, MA: Sinauer Associates, Inc., 2007. These inferior ovaries characterize the Bromelioideae, a subfamily of the Bromeliaceae. The family includes both epiphytes, such as Spanish moss ('' Tillandsia usneoides''), and terrestrial species, such as the pineapple ('' Ananas comosus''). Many bromeliads are able to store water in a structure formed by their tightly overlapping leaf bases. However, the family is diverse enough to include the tank bromeliads, grey-leaved epiphyte ''Tillandsia'' species tha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fascicularia
''Fascicularia'' is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the pineapple family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Bromelioideae. The genus name is from the Latin ''fasciculus'' (bundle) and ''arius'' (pertaining to). Only one species is known, ''Fascicularia bicolor''. It is endemic to Chile and reportedly naturalized in France and the extreme south and west of Great Britain. In the wild, all ''Fascicularias'' are saxicolous (growing on rocks) or epiphyte An epiphyte is a plant or plant-like organism that grows on the surface of another plant and derives its moisture and nutrients from the air, rain, water (in marine environments) or from debris accumulating around it.

Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...
