Ruhlandiella
''Ruhlandiella'' is a genus of fungi within the family Pezizaceae. ''Ruhlandiella'' species are exothecial hypogeous fungi, which are essentially truffles that lack the outer layer or peridium. ''Ruhlandiella'' species are widely distributed in Nothofagaceae forests in South America and near Eucalyptus or Melaleuca plants in Australia, North America, and Europe. Species Currently, there are seven accepted species of ''Ruhlandiella.'' *'' Ruhlandiella berolinensis'' Henn. 1903 *'' Ruhlandiella lophozoniae'' Kraisit., Pfister, Healy & M.E. Sm. 2019 *'' Ruhlandiella patagonica'' Kraisit., Pfister, Healy & M.E. Sm. 2019 *'' Ruhlandiella peregrina'' Lantieri & Pfister 2011 *'' Ruhlandiella reticulata'' (P.H.B. Talbot) E. Rubio, R.

Pezizaceae
The Pezizaceae (commonly referred to as cup fungi) are a family of fungi in the Ascomycota which produce mushrooms that tend to grow in the shape of a "cup". Spores are formed on the inner surface of the fruit body (mushroom). The cup shape typically serves to focus raindrops into splashing spores out of the cup. Additionally, the curvature enables wind currents to blow the spores out in a different manner than in most agarics and boletes. Cup fungi grow in peculiar shapes, frequently resembling cups or saucers. For example, the orange peel fungus ('' Aleuria aurantia'') resembles a discarded orange rind. They may be vividly colored, like the scarlet cup (''Sarcoscypha coccinea''), which is often one of the first signs of spring where it grows. According to one 2008 estimate, the family contains 31 genera and 230 species. Subtaxa Pezizaceae includes the following: *'' Adelphella'' **'' Adelphella babingtonii'' *''Amylascus'' **''Amylascus tasmanicus'' *''Aquapeziza'' ...

Monotypic Taxon
In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon. A monotypic species is one that does not include subspecies or smaller, infraspecific taxa. In the case of genera, the term "unispecific" or "monospecific" is sometimes preferred. In botanical nomenclature, a monotypic genus is a genus in the special case where a genus and a single species are simultaneously described. In contrast, an oligotypic taxon contains more than one but only a very few subordinate taxa. Examples Just as the term ''monotypic'' is used to describe a taxon including only one subdivision, the contained taxon can also be referred to as monotypic within the higher-level taxon, e.g. a genus monotypic within a family. Some examples of monotypic groups are: Plants * In the order Amborellales, there is only one family, Amborellaceae and there is only one genus, '' Amborella'', and in this genus there is only one species, namely ''Amborella trichopoda.' ...

Berlin Botanical Garden And Botanical Museum
The Berlin Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum (german: link=no, Botanischer Garten und Botanisches Museum Berlin) is a botanical garden in the locality of the borough of , Berlin, Germany. Constructed between 1897 and 1910 under the guidance of architect Adolf Engler, it has an area of and around 22,000 different plant species. The garden is part of the Free University of Berlin. The most well-known part of the garden is the Great Pavilion (), and among its many tropical plants, it hosts giant bamboo. The garden complex consists of several buildings, including glass-houses with a total area of . These include the glass Cactus Pavilion and the glass Pavilion Victoria; the latter features a collection of orchids, carnivorous plants and the giant white water lily ''Victoria amazonica'' (). The open-air areas are sorted by geographical origin and encompass about . The arboretum is about . The Botanical Museum (), the (B) and a large scientific library are attached to the garde ...

Paul Christoph Hennings
Paul Christoph Hennings (November 27, 1841 – October 14, 1908) was a German mycologist and herbarium curator. He discovered the study of cryptogams and mushrooms as a volunteer at the botanical garden. Although circumstances initially prevented him to study in that area, he later returned to natural sciences and eventually rose to a position at the largest herbarium in Germany. Originally interested in all non-higher plants, he specialised into mushrooms and became particularly versed in tropical species sent from abroad. Biography Borne in Heide, he was attracted early to plant sciences early and as a young man attracted the attention of director Ernst Ferdinand Nolte while a volunteer at the Botanischer Garten der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel. After an interlude caused by the Second Schleswig War, and during which he worked in the postal services. This job, which he abhorred, forced to move a number of times until he could settle in 1867 in Hohenwestedt, where ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Circumscription (taxonomy)
In biological taxonomy, circumscription is the content of a taxon, that is, the delimitation of which subordinate taxa are parts of that taxon. If we determine that species X, Y, and Z belong in Genus A, and species T, U, V, and W belong in Genus B, those are our circumscriptions of those two genera. Another systematist might determine that T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z all belong in genus A. Agreement on circumscriptions is not governed by the Codes of Zoological or Botanical Nomenclature, and must be reached by scientific consensus. A goal of biological taxonomy is to achieve a stable circumscription for every taxon. This goal conflicts, at times, with the goal of achieving a natural classification that reflects the evolutionary history of divergence of groups of organisms. Balancing these two goals is a work in progress, and the circumscriptions of many taxa that had been regarded as stable for decades are in upheaval in the light of rapid developments in molecular phylogene ...
