Prenanthes
''Prenanthes'' is a genus of plant in the family Asteraceae, often referred to as rattlesnake root. Molecular analysis in 2009 revealed that the genus as traditionally envisioned is polyphyletic, meaning that it is a conglomeration of species not closely related to one another. All but one species will be moved to other genera, leaving only ''Prenanthes purpurea''. The species, sometimes called purple lettuce, is widespread across much of Europe and the Middle East. includes photos, drawings, and distribution maps The genus formerly included; '' [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nabalus
''Nabalus'' is a genus of Asian and North American flowering plants in the tribe Cichorieae within the family Asteraceae. ''Nabalus'' is now considered the correct name for a group of plants in North America that were formerly considered to be members of ''Prenanthes'', and were included in that genus in the Flora of North America treatment. Common names for the genus include "rattlesnake root" and "white lettuce." The latter reflects its close relationship to lettuce (''Lactuca sativa'') but having flowers that are whitish or purplish-white in some species. Many (perhaps all) of the species are monocarpic perennials, in which an individual plant may live for multiple years in a vegetative condition but then will die after flowering and fruiting. Natural history White lettuce is firmly identified with common lettuce, ''Lactuca sativa''. ''Lactuca sativa'' has its inceptions in the Middle East. Egyptian divider paintings of Min, the divine force of fruitfulness, portray lettuce ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cichorieae
The Cichorieae (also called Lactuceae) are a tribe in the plant family Asteraceae that includes 93 genera, more than 1,600 sexually reproductive species and more than 7,000 apomictic species. They are found primarily in temperate regions of the Eastern Hemisphere. Cichorieae all have milky latex and flowerheads that only contain one type of floret. The genera ''Gundelia'' and ''Warionia'' only have disk florets, while all other genera only have ligulate florets. The genera that contain most species are ''Taraxacum'' (Crepidinae subtribe) with about 1,600 apomictic species, ''Hieracium'' with about 770 sexually reproducing and 5,200 apomictic species, and ''Pilosella'' with 110 sexually reproducing and 700 apomictic species (both Hieraciinae). Well-known members include lettuce, chicory, dandelion, and salsify. Description Most species are herbaceous, perennial, short-lived or annual plants, rarely subshrubs, shrubs or vines.

Lactuca
''Lactuca'', commonly known as lettuce, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. The genus includes at least 50 species, distributed worldwide, but mainly in temperate Eurasia. Its best-known representative is the garden lettuce (''Lactuca sativa''), with its many varieties. "Wild lettuce" commonly refers to the wild-growing relatives of common garden lettuce. Many species are common weeds. ''Lactuca'' species are diverse and take a wide variety of forms. They are annuals, biennials, perennials, or shrubs. Their flower heads have yellow, blue, or white ray florets. Some species are bitter-tasting. Most wild lettuces are xerophytes, adapted to dry habitat types. Some occur in more moist areas, such as the mountains of central Africa. Diversity There are different concepts of the species within ''Lactuca''. It is not clear how many distinct species are known, and estimates vary from 50 [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
