Placseptalia Rebecae
''Ochagavia'' is a plant genus in the plant Family (biology), 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), and distribution range (only ''Fascicularia'' can be found in the southern Valdivian temperate forests).

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 ...

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 ...

Valdivian Temperate Forests
The Valdivian temperate forests (NT0404) is an ecoregion on the west coast of southern South America, in Chile and Argentina. It is part of the Neotropical realm. The forests are named after the city of Valdivia. The Valdivian temperate rainforests are characterized by their dense understories of bamboos, ferns, and for being mostly dominated by evergreen angiosperm trees with some deciduous specimens, though conifer trees are also common. Setting Temperate rain forests comprise a relatively narrow Chilean coastal strip, between the Pacific Ocean to the west and the southern Andes Mountains to the east, from roughly 37° to 48° south latitude. North of 42°, the Chilean Coast Range stretches on, with just the north–south running Chilean Central Valley between it and the Andes. South of 42°, the coast range continues as a chain of offshore islands (including Chiloé Island and the Chonos Archipelago), while the "Central Valley" is submerged and continues as the Gulf of Corc ...

Family (biology)
Family (, : ) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". The delineation of what constitutes a family—or whether a described family should be acknowledged—is established and decided upon by active taxonomists. There are not strict regulations for outlining or acknowledging a family, yet in the realm of plants, these classifications often rely on both the vegetative and reproductive characteristics of plant species. Taxonomists frequently hold varying perspectives on these descriptions, leading to a lack of widespread consensus within the scientific community ...

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. The plants on which epiphytes grow are called phorophytes. Epiphytes take part in nutrient cycles and add to both the diversity and biomass of the ecosystem in which they occur, like any other organism. In some cases, a rainforest tree's epiphytes may total "several tonnes" (several long tons). They are an important source of food for many species. Typically, the older parts of a plant will have more epiphytes growing on them. Epiphytes differ from parasites in that they grow on other plants for physical support and do not necessarily affect the host negatively. An organism that grows on another organism that is not a plant may be called an epibiont. Epiphytes are usually found in the temperate zone (e.g., many mosses, liverworts, lichens, and algae) or in the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
