Arjona (plant)
''Arjona'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Schoepfiaceae. They are hemiparasites. Taxonomy , the following six species were recognized by the '' Plants of the World Online'' database: *'' Arjona longifolia'' Phil. – northwest and south Argentina *'' Arjona megapotamica'' Malme – Brazil ( Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul) *'' Arjona patagonica'' Hombr. & Jacquinot ex Decne. – Argentina, central and south Chile *'' Arjona pusilla'' Hook.f. – Peru, Bolivia, south Chile, northwest and south Argentina *'' Arjona schumanniana'' Pilg. – south Brazil, Uruguay *'' Arjona tuberosa'' Cav. – Argentina, Uruguay, south and central Chile The ''Flora del Conosur'' does not accept ''A. schumanniana'', which was Synonym (taxonomy), synonymised with ''A. megapotamica'' by the Brazilian botanist João Rodrigues de Mattos in the Santalales volume of the ''Flora Ilustrada Catarinense'' of 1967.

Arjona Patagonica
''Arjona patagonica'' is a species of flowering plant in the Family (taxonomy), family Schoepfiaceae native to southern South America. Taxonomy ''Arjona patagonica'' was given its scientific name by Jacques Bernard Hombron, but a full species description was published by Joseph Decaisne in 1853 in the second volume of botany of the ''Voyage au Pôle Sud et dans l'Océanie sur les corvettes l'Astrolabe et la Zélée''. In the title page of this book, both Hombron and Honoré Jacquinot are credited as authors, although this apparently may have been in error. Either way, only Hombron is credited as authority for the name ''A. patagonica'' by Decaisne. ''A. rigida'' was described in 1878 in order to replace the ''A. tuberosa'' described by Rodolfo Amando Philippi in 1864, the plant described by Philippi was not the Arjona tuberosa, ''A. tuberosa'' originally described by Antonio José Cavanilles. It was later regarded as a Synonym (taxonomy), synonym of ''A. patagonica''. Carl Skott ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chile
Chile, officially the Republic of Chile, is a country in the western part of South America. It is the southernmost country in the world, and the closest to Antarctica, occupying a long and narrow strip of land between the Andes to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Chile covers an area of , with a population of 17.5 million as of 2017. It shares land borders with Peru to the north, Bolivia to the north-east, Argentina to the east, and the Drake Passage in the far south. Chile also controls the Pacific islands of Juan Fernández, Isla Salas y Gómez, Desventuradas, and Easter Island in Oceania. It also claims about of Antarctica under the Chilean Antarctic Territory. The country's capital and largest city is Santiago, and its national language is Spanish. Spain conquered and colonized the region in the mid-16th century, replacing Inca rule, but failing to conquer the independent Mapuche who inhabited what is now south-central Chile. In 1818, after declaring in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Phenotype
In genetics, the phenotype () is the set of observable characteristics or traits of an organism. The term covers the organism's morphology or physical form and structure, its developmental processes, its biochemical and physiological properties, its behavior, and the products of behavior. An organism's phenotype results from two basic factors: the expression of an organism's genetic code, or its genotype, and the influence of environmental factors. Both factors may interact, further affecting phenotype. When two or more clearly different phenotypes exist in the same population of a species, the species is called polymorphic. A well-documented example of polymorphism is Labrador Retriever coloring; while the coat color depends on many genes, it is clearly seen in the environment as yellow, black, and brown. Richard Dawkins in 1978 and then again in his 1982 book ''The Extended Phenotype'' suggested that one can regard bird nests and other built structures such as cad ...

Quinchamalium
''Quinchamalium'' is a genus of flowering plant in the family Schoepfiaceae, with a single species ''Quinchamalium chilense'', native to Chile, Argentina, Peru and Bolivia. Depending on the latitude, it can be found from sea level to 3,800 m in altitude. Etymology It is locally called ''quinchamalí''. The word ''kincha'' translates from Quechua as 'hedge of sticks', as often made from dead old quinoa plants (see quincha). Description ''Quinchamalium chilense'' is a herbaceous, hemiparasitic, perennial plant with a rhizome, from which smaller rootlets with haustoria grow. From the rhizome a number of rarely-branching stems grow each year. These can be decumbent (creeping over the ground) or rise to over 2 metres in height. The flowers are produced in a cluster at the end of the stems, they are pentamerous and usually orangey-yellow in colour. It is extremely variable in height and flower size and colour, so much so that at one time 21 species were recognised, but in 201 ...

Synonym (taxonomy)
The Botanical and Zoological Codes of nomenclature treat the concept of synonymy differently. * In botanical nomenclature, a synonym is a scientific name that applies to a taxon that (now) goes by a different scientific name. For example, Linnaeus was the first to give a scientific name (under the currently used system of scientific nomenclature) to the Norway spruce, which he called ''Pinus abies''. This name is no longer in use, so it is now a synonym of the current scientific name, ''Picea abies''. * In zoology, moving a species from one genus to another results in a different binomen, but the name is considered an alternative combination rather than a synonym. The concept of synonymy in zoology is reserved for two names at the same rank that refers to a taxon at that rank - for example, the name ''Papilio prorsa'' Linnaeus, 1758 is a junior synonym of ''Papilio levana'' Linnaeus, 1758, being names for different seasonal forms of the species now referred to as ''Araschnia le ...

Uruguay
Uruguay (; ), officially the Oriental Republic of Uruguay ( es, República Oriental del Uruguay), is a country in South America.

The area that became Uruguay was first inhabited by groups of hunter–gatherers 13,000 years ago. The predominant tribe at the moment of the arrival of Europeans was the Charrúa people, when the Portuguese first established Colónia do Sacramento in 1680; Uruguay was colonized by Europeans late relative to neighboring countries. The Spanish founded Montevideo as a military stronghold in the early 18th century bec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
