Pearcea Fuscicalyx
''Pearcea'' is a genus of tropical herbaceous plants in the family Gesneriaceae native to western South America. It is classified in tribe Gloxinieae and is closely related to the genus '' Kohleria'', in which some of its species were previously included. The genus ''Parakohleria'' has recently been synonymized under ''Pearcea'', a conclusion later supported by molecular analyses that showed that ''Pearcea hypocyrtiflora'' was nested within the former Parakohlerias. The best-known and most widely cultivated species is ''Pearcea hypocyrtiflora'', a low-growing herb with attractively marked leaves and unusual bubble-like red or orange flowers. Species 19 species are accepted. *''Pearcea abunda'' (Wiehler) L.P.Kvist & L.E.Skog *''Pearcea bella'' *'' Pearcea bilabiata'' L.P.Kvist & L.E.Skog *''Pearcea cordata'' L.P.Kvist & L.E.Skog *'' Pearcea fuscicalyx'' *'' Pearcea glabrata'' L.P.Kvist & L.E.Skog *'' Pearcea gracilis'' L.P.Kvist & L.E.Skog *''Pearcea grandifolia'' L.P.Kvist & L ...

Flora Of Western South America
Flora (: floras or florae) is all the plant life present in a particular region or time, generally the naturally occurring ( indigenous) native plants. The corresponding term for animals is ''fauna'', and for fungi, it is ''funga''. Sometimes bacteria and fungi are also referred to as flora as in the terms ''gut flora'' or ''skin flora'' for purposes of specificity. Etymology The word "flora" comes from the Latin name of Flora, the goddess of plants, flowers, and fertility in Roman mythology. The technical term "flora" is then derived from a metonymy of this goddess at the end of the sixteenth century. It was first used in poetry to denote the natural vegetation of an area, but soon also assumed the meaning of a work cataloguing such vegetation. Moreover, "Flora" was used to refer to the flowers of an artificial garden in the seventeenth century. The distinction between vegetation (the general appearance of a community) and flora (the taxonomic composition of a community) was ...

Gesneriaceae Genera
Gesneriaceae, the gesneriad family, is a family of flowering plants consisting of about 152 genera and ca. 3,540 species in the tropics and subtropics of the Old World (almost all Didymocarpoideae) and the New World (most Gesnerioideae), with a very small number extending to temperate areas. Many species have colorful and showy flowers and are cultivated as ornamental plants. Etymology The family name is based on the genus ''Gesneria'', which honours Swiss naturalist and humanist Conrad Gessner. Description Most species are herbaceous perennials or subshrubs but a few are woody shrubs or small trees. The phyllotaxy is usually opposite and decussate, but leaves have a spiral or alternate arrangement in some groups. As with other members of the Lamiales the flowers have a (usually) zygomorphic corolla whose petals are fused into a tube and there is no one character that separates a gesneriad from any other member of Lamiales. Gesneriads differ from related families of the Lami ...
