	Pearcea ''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 Species include: ''Pearcea abunda'' (Wiehler) L.P. Kvist & L.E. Skog ''Pearcea bilabiata'' L.P. Kvist & L.E. Skog ''Pearcea cordata'' L.P. Kvist & L.E. Skog '' Pearcea glabrata'' L.P.

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''. 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 first made by Jules Thur ...
