Tepuipappus Esposi
''Tepuipappus'' is a genus of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It includes six species endemic to southern Venezuela. The species are moderately- or simply-branched shrubs 0.3 to 3 meters tall. They are native to the Sipapo-Yutajé-Complex of tepuis, specifically occurring on Cerros Autana, Camani, Coro-Coro, Cuao, Guanay, Sipapo, YavÃ, and Serrania Yutajé. Tepuis are flat-topped mountains with a flora and fauna distinct from the surrounding piedmont and lowlands.Pruski, J.F. 2023.

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] |
