Sidneya
''Sidneya'' is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae. Its native range is southern central USA (in the states of New Mexico and Texas) to Mexico and El Salvador. The genus name of ''Sidneya'' is in honour of Sidney Fay Blake (1892–1959), an American botanist and plant taxonomist. It was first described and published in Bot. J. Linn. Soc. Vol.167 on page 327 in 2011 by botanists Edward E. Schilling and José Luis Panero José is a predominantly Spanish and Portuguese form of the given name Joseph. While spelled alike, this name is pronounced very differently in each of the two languages: Spanish ; Portuguese (or ). In French, the name ''José'', pronounced ....

Sidney Fay Blake
Sidney Fay Blake (1892–1959) was an American botanist and plant taxonomist, "recognized as one of the world's experts on botanical nomenclature." Biography Blake was born in 1892 in Stoughton, Massachusetts. In 1912, he received a bachelor's degree from Harvard University, a master's degree in 1913, and a Ph.D. in botany in 1917 with a thesis on '' Viguiera''. The same year he received his Ph.D., he started his botanical career at the Bureau of Plant Industry for the United States Department of Agriculture, and worked there till he died in 1959. In 1943 he was elected president of the American Society of Plant Taxonomists. Blake published many articles and monographs but only one two-volume work, ''Geographical Guide to Floras of the World''. The first volume, co-authored by Alice C. Atwood (1876–1947), was published in 1942. The second volume, written by Blake alone, was published in 1961 two years after his death. He married the entomologist Doris M. Holmes in 1918. The ...

Gonzalezia (plant)
''Gonzalezia'' is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae. Its native range is northern and western Mexico. Botanists Schilling & Panero in 2002 and 2011, studied the subtribe Helianthinae based on molecular sequences of nuclear ITS, ETS, and cpDNA, coming to a conclusion that the genus '' Viguiera'' , did not constitute a monophyletic group. Among their conclusions they proposed to reclassify the genus, dividing and relocating its species in at least eleven genera: '' Aldama'' , '' Bahiopsis'' , '' Calanticaria'' , ''Davilanthus'' , '' Dendroviguiera'' , ''Gonzalezia'' , ''Heiseria'' , ''Heliomeris'' , ''Hymenostephium'' , ''Sidneya'' and ''Viguiera'' . The genus name of ''Gonzalezia'' is in honour of María del Socorro González Elizondo (b. 1953), a Mexican plant taxonomist with a focus on Cyperaceae. It was first described and published by botanists Edward E. Schilling and José Luis Panero José is a predominantly Spanish and Portuguese form ...

Dendroviguiera
''Dendroviguiera'' is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family. Its native range stretches from Mexico into Central America. Formerly part of the '' Viguiera'' genus, until a DNA study in 2011 separated out all the shrub/tree species of the ''Viguiera'' genus. Description Dendroviguiera species generally are shrubs and trees with phyllaries (modified leaves) with oblong, indurated (hardened) bases and short, triangular herbaceous apices (leaf-tips). The pappus (flowerhead) has awns (hair r bristle-like appendages) which are usually broad, greater than mm across. The abaxial (underneath) leaf surfaces usually not densely pubescent (downy; covered with short, soft hairs). Taxonomy Originally the (woody) species of '' Viguiera'' were placed in ''Viguiera ser. Maculatae'' in 1918. Molecular phylogenetic studies by Schilling in 1991, suggested that there is an unexpectedly close relationship between '' Iostephane'' (genus of Mexican flowering plants in the family Ast ...

Flora Of The South-Central United States
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) wa ...

Plants Described In 2011
Plants are the eukaryotes that form the kingdom Plantae; they are predominantly photosynthetic. This means that they obtain their energy from sunlight, using chloroplasts derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria to produce sugars from carbon dioxide and water, using the green pigment chlorophyll. Exceptions are parasitic plants that have lost the genes for chlorophyll and photosynthesis, and obtain their energy from other plants or fungi. Most plants are multicellular, except for some green algae. Historically, as in Aristotle's biology, the plant kingdom encompassed all living things that were not animals, and included algae and fungi. Definitions have narrowed since then; current definitions exclude fungi and some of the algae. By the definition used in this article, plants form the clade Viridiplantae (green plants), which consists of the green algae and the embryophytes or land plants (hornworts, liverworts, mosses, lycophytes, ferns, conifers and other gymnosperm ...

Viguiera
''Viguiera'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. It contains around 19–40 species, which are commonly known as goldeneyes and are native to the New World. These are herbs to bushy shrubs that bear yellow or orange daisy-like flowers. Taxonomy The name honours French physician L. G. Alexandre Viguier (1790–1867). It was first described and published by Carl Sigismund Kunth in ( F. W. H. von Humboldt, A. J. A. Bonpland and Carl Sigismund Kunth, edited), Nov. Gen. Sp., ed. fol., vol. 4 on page 176 in 1818. Recent molecular phylogenetic studies by botanists Schilling and Panero in 2011, showed that these species are within a large group that were formerly classified in the genus ''Viguiera'', and so '' Aldama'' has been expanded to include a total of 118 species (most of those from ''Viguiera''). Species 19 species are accepted by Plants of the World Online (shown by pw), and World Flora Online accepts 40 species (shown in list below); * '' Viguiera anch ...

José L
José is a predominantly Spanish and Portuguese form of the given name Joseph. While spelled alike, this name is pronounced very differently in each of the two languages: Spanish ; Portuguese (or ). In French, the name ''José'', pronounced , is an old vernacular form of Joseph, which is also in current usage as a given name. José is also commonly used as part of masculine name composites, such as José Manuel, José Maria or Antonio José, and also in female name composites like Maria José or Marie-José. The feminine written form is ''Josée'' as in French. In Netherlandic Dutch, however, ''José'' is a feminine given name and is pronounced ; it may occur as part of name composites like Marie-José or as a feminine first name in its own right; it can also be short for the name ''Josina'' and even a Dutch hypocorism of the name ''Johanna''. In England, Jose is originally a Romano-Celtic surname, and people with this family name can usually be found in, or traced to, the ...

Flowering Plant
Flowering plants are plants that bear flowers and fruits, and form the clade Angiospermae (). The term angiosperm is derived from the Ancient Greek, Greek words (; 'container, vessel') and (; 'seed'), meaning that the seeds are enclosed within a fruit. The group was formerly called Magnoliophyta. Angiosperms are by far the most diverse group of Embryophyte, land plants with 64 Order (biology), orders, 416 Family (biology), families, approximately 13,000 known Genus, genera and 300,000 known species. They include all forbs (flowering plants without a woody Plant stem, stem), grasses and grass-like plants, a vast majority of broad-leaved trees, shrubs and vines, and most aquatic plants. Angiosperms are distinguished from the other major seed plant clade, the gymnosperms, by having flowers, xylem consisting of vessel elements instead of tracheids, endosperm within their seeds, and fruits that completely envelop the seeds. The ancestors of flowering plants diverged from the commo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
