Sphaeralcea Australis
''Sphaeralcea'' is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family (Malvaceae). There are about 40-60 species, including annuals, perennials, and shrubs. Most originate in the drier regions of North America, with some known from South America. They are commonly known as globemallows, globe mallows, false mallows or falsemallows. The name of the genus is derived from the Greek words σφαῖρα (''sphaira''), meaning "sphere," and αλκεα (''alkea''), meaning "mallow." The leaves of these plants are spirally arranged, and usually palmate or toothed. Both stems and leaves are downy. Like other Malvaceae, the flowers are saucer- or cup-shaped, with the stamens joined into a column in the center. ''Sphaeralcea'' species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including '' Schinia olivacea'', which has been recorded on ''S. lindheimeri''.

Iliamna (plant)
''Iliamna'' is a small genus of flowering plants in the Malvaceae, mallow family (biology), family, endemic to North America. It is related to the bush mallows of California (''Malacothamnus'') and to ''Phymosia'' of Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. These perennial herbs are known commonly as wild hollyhocks and sometimes as globe mallows, Kankakee mallow, Kankakee globe mallow, and Streambank wild hollyhock. More often, the latter terms refer to members of the genus ''Sphaeralcea'', which belong, like Iliamna, to the "typical" mallow tribe (biology), tribe (Malveae) of the mallow and hibiscus subfamily Malvoideae. The name of the genus, proposed by Edward Lee Greene, appears to be a reference to Iliamna Lake in Alaska, even though the genus Iliamna does not occur in Alaska The plants are herbaceous with a racemose inflorescence consisting of showy, slightly fragrant flowers ranging in color from almost white to lavender. The leaves are alternate and shallowly palmatel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lepidoptera
Lepidoptera ( ) or lepidopterans is an order (biology), order of winged insects which includes butterflies and moths. About 180,000 species of the Lepidoptera have been described, representing 10% of the total described species of living organisms, making it the second largest insect order (behind Coleoptera) with 126 family (biology), families and 46 Taxonomic rank, superfamilies, and one of the most widespread and widely recognizable insect orders in the world. Lepidopteran species are characterized by more than three derived features. The most apparent is the presence of scale (anatomy), scales that cover the torso, bodies, large triangular Insect wing, wings, and a proboscis for siphoning nectars. The scales are modified, flattened "hairs", and give butterflies and moths their wide variety of colors and patterns. Almost all species have some form of membranous wings, except for a few that have reduced wings or are wingless. Mating and the laying of eggs is normally performe ...

Sphaeralcea Fulva
''Sphaeralcea fulva'', commonly known as desert mallow, is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae. It is native to northwestern Mexico.

It was described by Greene as growing erect and stout, sparingly branching, suffrutescent, and covered with a yellowish stellate pubescence. Leaves are small, triangular-lanceolate in shape, thick and firm in texture, and coarsely toothed. The calyx is cleft below the middle into triangular acute segments. The corolla is long, light scarlet in color. Taxonomy ''Sphaeralcea fulva'' was first formally described by American botanist Edward Lee Greene in his first volume of ''Pittonia'', published in 1889. It was one of several species described from types Type may refer to: Science and technology Computing * Typing, producing text via a keyboard, typewriter, etc. * Data type, collection of values used for computations. * File type * TYPE (DOS comma ...
