Spilotantha Dimorphtricha
''Spilotantha'' is a genus proposed by Carlyle Luer; however, the genus lacks a clear synapomorphy and it is equivalent to '' Masdevallia'' subgenus ''Amanda'', section ''Amandae''. Morphology * large or small plants the ramicauls are shorter than the coriaceous leaves * an erect raceme with keeled or crested ovaries usually possessing inflated floral bracts * species exhibit a series of simultaneously blooming flowers borne by a peduncle with a round cross-section * sepals are usually long-tailed and variously connected into a shallow cup or arching cylindrical tube * petals are callous on the lower half and are often denticulate along the margins * the lip is usually divided by marginal folds Species *'' Spilotantha abbreviata'' (Rchb.f.) Luer *''Spilotantha alvaroi'' (Luer & R.Escobar) Luer *'' Spilotantha amanda'' (Rehb.f. & Warsz.) Luer *'' Spilotantha anceps'' (Luer & Hirtz) Luer *'' Spilotantha bulbophyllopsis'' (Kraenzl.)

Plantae
Plants are predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. Historically, the plant kingdom encompassed all living things that were not animals, and included algae and fungi; however, all current definitions of Plantae exclude the fungi and some algae, as well as the prokaryotes (the archaea and bacteria). By one definition, plants form the clade Viridiplantae (Latin name for "green plants") which is sister of the Glaucophyta, and consists of the green algae and Embryophyta (land plants). The latter includes the flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, ferns and their allies, hornworts, liverworts, and mosses. Most plants are multicellular organisms. Green plants obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis by primary chloroplasts that are derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria. Their chloroplasts contain chlorophylls a and b, which gives them their green color. Some plants are parasitic or mycotrophic and have lost ...
