Passifloraceae
The Passifloraceae are a family of flowering plants, containing about 750 species classified in around 27 genera. They include trees, shrubs, lianas, and climbing plants, and are mostly found in tropical regions. The family takes its name from the passion flower genus (''Passiflora'') which includes the edible passion fruit (''Passiflora edulis''), as well as garden plants such as maypop and running pop. ''Passiflora'' vines and '' Dryas iulia'' (among other heliconian butterflies) have demonstrated evidence of coevolution, in which the plants attempted to stop their destruction from larval feeding by the butterflies, while the butterflies tried to gain better survival for their eggs. The former Cronquist system of classification placed this family in the order Violales, but under more modern classifications systems such as that proposed by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, this is absorbed into the Malpighiales and the family has been expanded to include the former Malesherb ...

Passiflora
''Passiflora'', known also as the passion flowers or passion vines, is a genus of about 550 species of flowering plants, the type genus of the family Passifloraceae. ''Passiflora'' species are widely cultivated for their striking flowers, flavorful fruits, traditional medicinal uses, and roles in dietary supplements and ayahuasca analogs, with several ornamental hybrids earning Royal Horticultural Society awards. Description They are mostly tendril-bearing vines, with some being shrubs or trees. They can be woody or herbaceous. Passion flowers produce regular and usually showy flowers with a distinctive corona. There can be as many as eight concentric coronal series, as in the case of '' P. xiikzodz''. and '' Passiflora alata''. The hallmark of the genus is the androgynophore, a central column to which the stamens and pistil are attached, which can be very long in some species such as '' Passiflora coactilis''. The flower is pentamerous (except for a few Southea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Malpighiales
The Malpighiales comprise one of the largest Order (biology), orders of flowering plants. The order is very diverse, with well-known members including willows, Viola (plant), violets, aspens and Populus, poplars, Euphorbia pulcherrima, poinsettia, Rafflesia arnoldii, corpse flower, Coca, coca plant, Manihot esculenta, cassava, Linum usitatissimum, flaxseed, Ricinus communis, castor bean, Hypericum perforatum, Saint John's wort, Passiflora edulis, passionfruit, Garcinia mangostana, mangosteen, and Hippomane mancinella, manchineel tree. The order is not part of any of the Systematics, classification systems based only on plant morphology and the relationships of its diverse members can be hard to recognize except with molecular phylogenetic evidence. Molecular clock calculations estimate the origin of stem group Malpighiales at around 100 million years ago (mya (unit), Mya) and the origin of crown group Malpighiales at about 90 Mya. The Malpighiales contain about 36 families and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Malesherbioideae
''Malesherbia'' is a genus of flowering plants consisting of 25 species in the Passifloraceae. This is a xerophytic group endemic to the Peruvian and Chilean deserts and adjacent Argentina. The genus is currently recognized by the APG III system of classification in the family Passifloraceae, and is the sole member of the subfamily Malesherbioideae. Description ''Malesherbia'' is a genus of herbaceous plants and shrubs. Flower morphology Members of ''Malesherbia'' have perfect hermaphroditic flowers that come in various shades of red, pink, pale yellow, white, and purple. These are tube or funnel shaped, with 10 nerves, 5 sepals, 5 petals, 5 stamen and 3-4 styles. They have either solitary flowers opposite to leaves or inflorescence that look like clusters. Taxonomy In 1794, Hipólito Ruiz López and José Antonio Pavón Jiménez would describe ''Malesherbia.''

Pibirioideae
''Pibiria'' is a genus consisting of only one species, ''Pibiria flava''. The genus is the only member of the subfamily Pibirioideae (Passifloraceae). ''Pibiria flava'' ''Pibiria flava'', the sole member of ''Pibiria'', was identified, but unclassified, in 1993. It is a woody subtropical bush with yellow flowers. DNA, morphology, and reproductive analysis suggests the species is closely related to Turneroideae, but divergent enough to justify a different subfamily.

Violales
Violales is a botanical name of an order of flowering plants and takes its name from the included family Violaceae; it was proposed by Lindley (1853). The name has been used in several systems, although some systems used the name Parietales for similar groupings. In the 1981 version of the influential Cronquist system, order Violales was placed in subclass Dilleniidae with a circumscription consisting of the families listed below. Some classifications such as that of Dahlgren placed the Violales in the superorder Violiflorae (also called Violanae). The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG) system does not recognize order Violales; Violaceae is placed in order Malpighiales and the other families are reassigned to various orders as indicated. * order Violales Perleb 1826 *: family Achariaceae → order Malpighiales *: family Ancistrocladaceae → order Caryophyllales *: family Begoniaceae → order Cucurbitales *: family Bixaceae → order Malvales *: family Caricaceae → order Br ...
