''Axinaea'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Melastomataceae. As of 2012, there are at least 42 species.Bussmann, R. W., & Zambrana, N. P. (2012)''Axinaea ninakurorum'' (Melastomataceae)− a new species from the northern Peruvian Merianeae hotspot.''Arnaldoa'' 19(1) 23-27. They are small trees and shrubs. They are native to the Americas; almost all are found in the Andes.Bussmann, R. W., Gruhn, J., & Glenn, A. (2010)''Axinaea fernando‐cabiesii'' and ''A. reginae'' spp. nov.(Melastomataceae) from upper Amazonia of Peru, with notes on the conservation status of ''A. flava''.''Nordic Journal of Botany'', 28(5), 518-522. Plants of this genus are pollinated when birds, several species of fruit-eating tanagers, consume specialized appendages on the stamens. As they grasp the nutritious appendages, a cloud of pollen is released. This has been called "puff pollination". Species include: *'' Axinaea affinis'' (Naudin) Cogn. *''Axinaea carolinae-telleziae''Bussmann, R. W ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
