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] |
Zygophyllaceae
Zygophyllaceae is a family of flowering plants that contains the bean-caper and caltrop. The family includes around 285 species in 22 genera. Plants in the family Zygophyllaceae may be trees, shrubs, or herbs. They are often found in dry habitats. The leaves are usually opposite, often with stipules and spines. Some are cultivated as ornamental plants, such as species of the '' Guaiacum'', ''Zygophyllum'', '' Tribulus'', and '' Larrea'' genera. King Clone, a creosote bush ''(Larrea tridentata)'' in California, is among the world's oldest living organisms. The distribution of plants in the Zygophyllaceae family can be found worldwide in warm tropics and cool-temperate subtropics with a concentration in hot, arid regions with alkaline soils. Regions with different species from this family include Africa, south Asia, India, Australia and parts of the United States. Genera '' Peganum'' was in Zygophyllaceae before being moved to the newly created family Nitrariaceae. Systema ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fagonia
''Fagonia'' is a genus of wild, flowering plants in the caltrop family, Zygophyllaceae, having about 34 species. The latest reorganization of the genus took place in 2018 when systematists Christenhusz & Byng, Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew (UK) included ''Fagonia spp''.. along with several other Zygophyllum genera, into a new genus named "''Zygophyllum'' L." Species occurring in the US are commonly referred to as fagonbushes. The distribution of the genus includes parts of Africa, the Mediterranean Basin, the Mid-East, India, and parts of North & South America. ''Fagonia'' species have been used ethnobotanically by traditional practitioners under Ayurvedic and other TM healing regimes for many maladies. Species occur in deserts, dry washes, ditches and on rocky outcrops, including at altitude. '' Fagonia laevis'' is a perennial herb of the United States desert southwest. It has opposite leaves, trifoliate with spinescent stipules, a lavender corolla and smooth fruits. Under c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Zygophyllum
''Zygophyllum'' is the type genus of the flowering plant family Zygophyllaceae. The generic name is derived from the Greek language, Greek words ζυγόν (''zygon''), meaning "double", and φυλλον (''phyllon''), meaning "leaf". It refers to the leaves, each of which have two leaflet (botany), leaflets. The genus is distributed in arid and Semi-arid climate, semi-arid regions of Africa, the Mediterranean Basin, central Asia, Australia, and North and South America. Molecular phylogenetics, Molecular phylogenetic analysis suggested that as previously Circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed, ''Zygophyllum'' was not Monophyly, monophyletic, and the genus was split among a number of other genera, including ''Augea (plant), Augea'', ''Fagonia'', ''Roepera'' and ''Tetraena''. , Plants of the World Online accepted only ''Roepera'' of these genera, regarding ''Augea'', ''Fagonia'' and ''Tetraena'' as synonyms of ''Zygophyllum''.
