Erythranthe
''Erythranthe'', the monkey-flowers and musk-flowers, is a diverse plant genus with more than 120 members (as of 2022) in the family (biology), family Phrymaceae. ''Erythranthe'' was originally described as a separate genus, then generally regarded as a section within the genus ''Mimulus'', and recently returned to generic rank. ''Mimulus'' sect. ''Diplacus'' was segregated from ''Mimulus'' as a separate genus at the same time. ''Mimulus'' remains as a small genus of eastern North America and the Southern Hemisphere. Molecular data show ''Erythranthe'' and ''Diplacus'' to be distinct evolutionary lines that are distinct from ''Mimulus'' as strictly defined, although this nomenclature is controversial. Member species are usually annual plant, annuals or herbaceous perennial plant, perennials. Flowers are red, pink, or yellow, often in various combinations. A large number of the ''Erythranthe'' species grow in moist to wet soils with some growing even in shallow water. They are not ...

Diplacus
''Diplacus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Phrymaceae, which was traditionally placed in family Scrophulariaceae. It includes 49 species native to the western United States and northwestern Mexico. Most prefer dry and rocky areas. The genus ''Diplacus'' was first described by Thomas Nuttall in 1838. It was merged into ''Mimulus'' no later than 1905, until the 2012 restructuring. The 2012 restructuring of ''Mimulus'' by Barker, ''et al''., based largely upon DNA evidence, left seven species in ''Mimulus'', placed 111 into ''Erythranthe'' (species with axile placentation and long pedicels), placed 46 into ''Diplacus'' (species with parietal placentation and sessile flowers), placed two in '' Uvedalia'', and placed one each in '' Elacholoma'', ''Mimetanthe'', and '' Thyridia''. Species 49 species are accepted. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mimulus
Mimulus , also known as monkeyflowers, is a plant genus in the family (biology), family Phrymaceae, which was traditionally placed in family Scrophulariaceae. The genus now contains only seven species, two native to eastern North America and the other five native to Asia, Australia, Africa, or Madagascar. In the past, about 150 species were placed in this genus, most of which have since been assigned to other genera, the majority to genus ''Erythranthe''. ''Mimulus'' species prefer wet or moist areas and are not drought resistant. Several are cultivated as ornamental garden plants. The cultivar 'Highland Red' has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Name ''Mimulus'' is based on the Latin word ''mimus'' ('mimic', especially in the context of acting). This may have to do with the flowers seeming to have grinning faces resembling those of monkeys. Genetics The color patterns of ''Mimulus'' flowers are determined by an inverted repeat in the YELLO ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Phrymaceae
Phrymaceae, also known as the lopseed family, is a small family of flowering plants in the order Lamiales.Peter F. Stevens (2001 onwards). "Phrymaceae" At: Angiosperm Phylogeny Website. At: Botanical Databases At: Missouri Botanical Garden Website. (see ''External links'' below) It has a nearly cosmopolitan distribution, but is concentrated in two centers of diversity, one in Australia, the other in western North America. Members of this family occur in diverse habitats, including deserts, river banks and mountains. Phrymaceae is a family of mostly herbs and a few subshrubs, bearing tubular, bilaterally symmetric flowers. They can be annuals or perennials. Some of the Australian genera are aquatic or semiaquatic. One of these, ''Glossostigma'', is among the smallest of flowering plants, larger than the aquatic '' Lemna'' but similar in size to the terrestrial '' Lepuropetalon''. The smallest members of Phrymaceae are only a few centimeters long, while the largest are woody ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Antirrhinum
''Antirrhinum'' is a genus of plants in the Plantaginaceae family, commonly known as dragon flowers or snapdragons because of the flowers' fancied resemblance to the face of a dragon that opens and closes its mouth when laterally squeezed. They are also sometimes called toadflax or dog flower. They are native to rocky areas of Europe, the United States, Canada, and North Africa. ''Antirrhinum'' species are widely used as ornamental plants in borders and as cut flowers. Description The ''Antirrhinum'' is morphologically diverse, particularly the New World group (''Saerorhinum''). The genus is characterized by personate flowers with an inferior gibbous corolla. Taxonomy ''Antirrhinum'' used to be treated within the family Scrophulariaceae, but studies of DNA sequences have led to its inclusion in a vastly enlarged family Plantaginaceae, within the tribe Antirrhineae. Circumscription The taxonomy of this genus is complex and not yet fully resolved at present. In particul ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Linaria Vulgaris
''Linaria vulgaris'', the common toadflax,Blamey, M. & Grey-Wilson, C. (1989). ''Flora of Britain and Northern Europe''. yellow toadflax or butter-and-eggs, is a species of flowering plant in the family Plantaginaceae, native to Europe, Siberia and Central Asia. It has also been introduced and is now common in North America. Description It is a perennial plant with short spreading roots, erect to decumbent stems high, with fine, threadlike, glaucous blue-green leaves long and broad. The flowers are similar to those of the Antirrhinum, snapdragon, long, pale yellow except for the lower tip which is orange, borne in dense terminal racemes from mid summer to mid autumn. The flowers are mostly visited by bumblebees. The fruit is a globose capsule (fruit), capsule long and broad, containing numerous small seeds. Ecology The plant is widespread on Ruderal species, ruderal spots, along roads, in dunes, and on disturbed and cultivated land. Because the flower is largely closed b ...

Phyllocarpus Septentrionalis
''Barnebydendron riedelii'', also known as monkey-flower tree (), is a species of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Detarioideae. It is the only member of the genus ''Barnebydendron''. It is a tree reaching 10–12 m in height with scarlet red flowers. Originally it came from tropical dry forests of Central America and tropical South America South America is a continent entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a considerably smaller portion in the Northern Hemisphere. It can also be described as the southern Subregion#Americas, subregion o ... but it has been extensively grown in tropical areas worldwide as a garden tree.
