Flowering Plant
Flowering plants are plants that bear flowers and fruits, and form the clade Angiospermae (), commonly called angiosperms. The term "angiosperm" is derived from the Greek words ('container, vessel') and ('seed'), and refers to those plants that produce their seeds enclosed within a fruit. They are by far the most diverse group of land plants with 64 orders, 416 families, approximately 13,000 known genera and 300,000 known species. Angiosperms were formerly called Magnoliophyta (). Like gymnosperms, angiosperms are seed-producing plants. They are distinguished from gymnosperms by characteristics including flowers, endosperm within their seeds, and the production of fruits that contain the seeds. The ancestors of flowering plants diverged from the common ancestor of all living gymnosperms before the end of the Carboniferous, over 300 million years ago. The closest fossil relatives of flowering plants are uncertain and contentious. The earliest angiosperm fossils ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alloschemone
''Alloschemone'' is a genus of evergreen root climbing plants in the family Araceae that is native to the Amazon region of Bolivia and Brazil. There are only two species in the genus and both are extremely rare. These two species are '' Alloschemone occidentalis'' and '' Alloschemone inopinata''. At one point in history, the genus ''Alloschemone'' was dissolved and added to ''Scindapsus ''Scindapsus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae.

Araceae
The Araceae are a family of monocotyledonous flowering plants in which flowers are borne on a type of inflorescence called a spadix. The spadix is usually accompanied by, and sometimes partially enclosed in, a spathe (or leaf-like bract). Also known as the arum family, members are often colloquially known as aroids. This family of 140 genera and about 4,075 known species is most diverse in the New World tropics, although also distributed in the Old World tropics and northern temperate regions. Many species display very decorative leaves and flowers, and they are widely used for gardening; popular as indoor plants and also outdoor plants where climates are mild, and winter freezes will not generally occur. However, some temperate species are also very popular in Mediterranean-climate gardening, or in moderately cool temperate zones, such as ''Zantedeschia''. Description Species within Araceae are often rhizomatous or tuberous, and the leaves nearly always contain calcium oxa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Scindapsus
''Scindapsus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. It is native to Southeast Asia, New Guinea, Queensland, and a few western Pacific islands. The species ''Scindapsus pictus'' is common in cultivation. ''Scindapsus'' is not easily distinguishable from ''Epipremnum''. The main difference between the two genera is in the number of seeds they produce. ''Scindapsus'' species have one ovule in each ovary whereas ''Epipremnum'' species have a few. The seeds of ''Scindapsus'' are rounded to slightly kidney-shaped. The plants are primarily root climbing vines. History of the name Claudius Aelianus (Aelian, 2-3 cc., ''De Natura Animalium'' XII.44-46, XVII.18), uses the word in relation to an Indian musical instrument used for taming the wild elephants.Bown, Deni (2000).
