Taenidia (plant)
''Taenidia'' is a small genus of flowering plants in the carrot family, commonly known as pimpernels. This genus is native only to eastern North America. This genus consists of somewhat delicate perennials that flower in late spring and early summer. Species * '' Taenidia integerrima'' - yellow pimpernel; widespread in eastern North America * '' Taenidia montana'' - mountain pimpernel; restricted to the central Appalachian Mountains References {{Taxonbar, from=Q15967240 Apioideae Taxa named by Carl Georg Oscar Drude Apioideae genera ...

John Torrey
John Torrey (August 15, 1796 – March 10, 1873) was an American botany, botanist, chemist, and physician. Throughout much of his career, he was a teacher of chemistry, often at multiple universities, while he also pursued botanical work, focusing on the flora of North America. His most renowned works include studies of the New York flora, the Mexican Boundary, the Pacific railroad surveys, and the uncompleted ''Flora of North America''.

Carl Georg Oscar Drude
Carl Georg Oscar Drude (5 June 1852 in Braunschweig – 1 February 1933 in Dresden) was a German botanist. From 1870 he studied science and chemistry at the Collegium Carolinum in Braunschweig, relocating to the University of Göttingen the following year, where he was influenced by August Grisebach (1814-1879). In 1873 he obtained his PhD and subsequently served as an assistant to Friedrich Gottlieb Bartling (1798-1875). From 1876 to 1879 he worked as a lecturer in botany at Göttingen, followed by an appointment as chair of botany at Dresden Technical University (1879). Here he served as director of its botanical gardens, which he systematically configured according to a phytogeography, phytogeographical principle. He remained at Dresden Dresden (; ; Upper Saxon German, Upper Saxon: ''Dräsdn''; , ) is the capital city of the States of Germany, German state of Saxony and its second most populous city after Leipzig.

Apiaceae
Apiaceae () or Umbelliferae is a family of mostly aromatic flowering plants named after the type genus ''Apium,'' and commonly known as the celery, carrot, or parsley family, or simply as umbellifers. It is the 16th-largest family of flowering plants, with more than 3,800 species in about 446 genus, genera,Stevens, P.F. (2001 onwards).APIACEAE Lindley, nom. cons. ''Angiosperm Phylogeny Website''.

Taenidia Integerrima
''Taenidia integerrima'', the yellow pimpernel, is an herbaceous plant in the parsley family. It is native to the eastern North America, where it is widespread. Its natural habitat is rocky prairies and woodlands, often over calcareous substrates. It is a perennial.

Taenidia Montana
Taenidia (singular: taenidium) are circumferential thickenings of the cuticle inside a trachea or tracheole in an insect Insects (from Latin ') are Hexapoda, hexapod invertebrates of the class (biology), class Insecta. They are the largest group within the arthropod phylum. Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (Insect morphology#Head, head, ...'s respiratory system. The geometry of the Taenidiae varies across different orders of insects and even throughout the tracheae in an individual organism. Taenidia generally take the form of either hoop or spiral thickenings of the tracheal cuticle.

Apioideae
This is a list of genera belonging to the family Apiaceae. It contains all the genera listed by Plants of the World Online (PoWO) . A few extra genus names are included that PoWO regards as synonyms. Unless otherwise indicated, the placement of genera into sub-taxa is based on the taxonomy used by the Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN). "Not assigned" means either that the genus is unplaced in GRIN or that it is not listed by GRIN. Not assigned to a subfamily In a 2021 molecular phylogenetic study, the ''Platysace'' clade and the genera ''Klotzschia'' and ''Hermas'' fell outside the four subfamilies. It has been suggested that they could be placed in subfamilies of their own. *'' Hermas'' *'' Klotzschia'' *'' Platysace'' ;Others *'' Actinanthus'' *'' Adenosciadium'' *'' Agasyllis'' *'' Angoseseli'' *'' Apodicarpum'' *'' Asciadium'' *'' Austropeucedanum'' *'' Brachyscias'' *'' Caropodium'' *'' Caropsis'' *''Chaetosciadium'' *'' Dactylaea'' *'' Dethawi ...

Taxa Named By Carl Georg Oscar Drude
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; : taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion, especially in the context of rank-based (" Linnaean") nomenclature (much less so under phylogenetic nomenclature). If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were presumably set forth in prehistoric times by hunter-gatherers, as suggested by the fairly sophisticated folk taxonomies. Much later, Aristotle, and later still ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
