Gloxinia (genus)
''Gloxinia'' is a genus containing three species of tropical rhizomatous Herbaceous plant, herbs in the flowering plant family Gesneriaceae. The species are primarily found in the Andes of South America, but ''Gloxinia perennis'' is also found in Central America and the West Indies, where it has probably escaped from cultivation. ''Gloxinia perennis'' is the original (type) species of the genus, and for much of its history the genus consisted of only ''G. perennis'' and a very small number of other species. The classification of ''Gloxinia'' later changed reflect the 1976 classification of Hans Wiehler, who took a broader view of the genus. A recent analysis of ''Gloxinia'' and related genera based on molecular and morphological work has determined that Wiehler's circumscription of the genus was unnatural, both Phylogenetics, phylogenetically and Morphology (biology), morphologically. The analyses demonstrated that the genera ''Anodiscus'' and ''Koellikeria'', each with a single ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Charles Louis L'Héritier De Brutelle
Charles Louis L'Héritier de Brutelle (; 15 June 1746 – 18 August 1800) was an 18th-century French botanist and civil servant. Born into an affluent upper-class Parisian family, connections with the French Royal Court secured him the position of Superintendent of Parisian Waters and Forests at the age of twenty-six. In this capacity, L'Héritier conducted various studies of native trees and shrubs, also gaining interest in exotic flora. The abbreviation L'Herit. is also used. Early life Apart from what is stated above, little is known of his early life before his first employment. He appears to have been self-taught in botany, after taking up the superintendency. In 1775, L'Héritier was appointed a magistrate in the '' Cour des Aides'' in Paris. This was a court which dealt with tax offences, but under its president Malesherbes it became perhaps the only French government institution to protect ordinary citizens against a corrupt state. Malesherbes himself was a keen bota ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bignoniaceae
Bignoniaceae () is a Family (biology), family of flowering plants in the Order (biology), order Lamiales commonly known as the bignonias or trumpet vines.Vernon H. Heywood, Richard K. Brummitt, Ole Seberg, and Alastair Culham. ''Flowering Plant Families of the World''. Firefly Books: Ontario, Canada. (2007). . It is not known to which of the other families in the order it is most closely related.Peter F. Stevens (2001 onwards). "Bignoniaceae" At: Angiosperm Phylogeny Website. At: Botanical Databases At: Missouri Botanical Garden Website. (see ''External links'' below) Nearly all of the Bignoniaceae are woody plants, but a few are subwoody, either as vines or subshrubs. A few more are herbaceous plants of high-elevation Montane ecology, montane habitats, in three exclusively herbaceous genera: ''Tourrettia'', ''Argylia'', and ''Incarvillea''. The family includes many lianas, climbing by tendrils, by twining, or rarely, by aerial roots. The largest Tribe (biology), tribe in the fam ...

Incarvillea Delavayi
''Incarvillea delavayi'', the socalled hardy gloxinia or flowering fern, is a species of flowering plant in the family Bignoniaceae, native to western Sichuan and northwest Yunnan provinces of China. The true '' Gloxinia'' are members of the Gesneriaceae, while true ferns are flowerless plants which reproduce through spores. A slugprone perennial with fernlike leaves, it is hardy in USDA zones 5b through 7, and is recommended for borders and rock gardens in part shade to full sun. The original species and a number of cultivars are commercially available, including 'Bees Pink' and 'Snowtop'. Description This herbaceous perennial reaches a height of 40 to 60 cm (16 to 24 inches) and spreads to a similar width. It forms thickened underground storage structures that function as energy reserves, resembling the knobby tubers of dahlias. These tuberous roots enable the plant to withstand periods of dormancy and regenerate with vigor each growing season. The foliage consists of deep ...

Sinningia Speciosa
''Sinningia speciosa'', sometimes known in the horticultural trade as gloxinia, is a Tuber, tuberous member of the flowering plant native to Brazil within the family Gesneriaceae. Originally included in the genus ''Gloxinia (genus), Gloxinia'' in 1817, it was reclassified to ''Sinningia''. Showy ''S. speciosa'' hybrids are still sometimes referred to simply as "gloxinia", although this name is now technically incorrect. The name florist's gloxinia is now sometimes used to distinguish it from the Rhizome, rhizomatous species now included in the genus ''Gloxinia (genus), Gloxinia''. Another common name is Brazilian gloxinia. The plants produce large, velvety, brightly colored flowers and are popular Houseplant, houseplants. Cultural requirements are similar to those of Streptocarpus sect. Saintpaulia, African violets except that ''S. speciosa'' generally requires more light and often has a Dormancy, dormant period, when the tuber should be kept cool and dry until it resprouts. Cul ...

Seemannia
''Seemannia'' is a New World genus in the flowering plant family Gesneriaceae. There are four species in the genus, primarily found in the Andean regions of South America. The name honors the German botanist Berthold Carl Seemann. Taxonomic history ''Seemannia'' was created in 1855 by Regel for the species ''Seemannia ternifolia'' (now considered a synonym of ''S. sylvatica''). In 1976 ''Seemannia'' was synonymized under the genus '' Gloxinia'' by gesneriad specialist Hans Wiehler but has more recently been revived following phylogenetic and morphological research on relationships of ''Gloxinia'' and related genera, which suggested that Wiehler's generic concept of ''Gloxinia'' was overly broad and polyphyletic. Although now recognized as a separate genus, ''Seemannia'' is closely related to ''Gloxinia'' and hybrids between the two genera are fertile although the two genera are very distinct morphologically. Although all of the species occur in the Andes, '' Seemannia purpura ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
