Barnadesieae
Barnadesioideae is a subfamily of flowering plants in the aster family, Asteraceae. It comprises a single tribe, the Barnadesieae. The subfamily is endemic to South America. Molecular evidence suggests it is a basal clade within the family,Timme, R. E., et al.

Shrub
A shrub (often also called a bush) is a small-to-medium-sized perennial woody plant. Unlike herbaceous plants, shrubs have persistent woody stems above the ground. Shrubs can be either deciduous or evergreen. They are distinguished from trees by their multiple stems and shorter height, less than tall. Small shrubs, less than 2 m (6.6 ft) tall are sometimes termed as subshrubs. Many botanical groups have species that are shrubs, and others that are trees and herbaceous plants instead. Some definitions state that a shrub is less than and a tree is over 6 m. Others use as the cut-off point for classification. Many species of tree may not reach this mature height because of hostile less than ideal growing conditions, and resemble a shrub-sized plant. However, such species have the potential to grow taller under the ideal growing conditions for that plant. In terms of longevity, most shrubs fit in a class between perennials and trees; some may only last about five y ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chuquiraga Spinosa
''Chuquiraga spinosa'', common name in Spanish, is a species of flowering plant of the family Asteraceae. Native to Perú and Bolivia, it is used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory properties. Taxonomy ''Chuquiraga spinosa'' was described by Christian Friedrich Lessing and published in Linnaea 5: 259, in 1830. Economic and cultural importance It is used in traditional medicine in Peru as a cleanser, a diuretic, and to treat kidney, liver, and prostate inflammation. Secondary metabolites The presence of phenolic acids, flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, tannins, and steroids has been identified in the ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of the plant. Scientific studies ''In vitro'' studies in 2005 in Lima have determined the antioxidant properties of 53 ethanolic extracts of 40 plants used in traditional Peruvian medicine from different parts of the plants (root, flowers, stems, leaves, bark). The antioxidant activity of 21 of the extracts was demonstrated, i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mutisioideae
The Mutisioideae are a subfamily in the plant family Asteraceae that includes about 630 species assigned to 44 different genera. This subfamily is mainly native in South America, except for '' Adenocaulon'', ''Chaptalia'', ''Gerbera'', ''Trichocline'', which have species in all continents other than Europe and Antarctica. Common characters are the deeply incised corollas of the disc florets, with five lobes, sometimes merged in two lips, flower heads with overlapping involucral bracts, anthers with tails and pointy tips, the styles usually stick far out of the florets and are essentially hairless. Most species are herbs, but some are vines, shrubs, or small trees. Taxonomy The subfamily Mutisioideae consists of three tribes: - The Tree of Life Web Project ;Tribe |
Famatinanthoideae
''Famatinanthus'' is a genus in the family Asteraceae that was described in 2014 and has been assigned to its own tribe Famatinantheae and subfamily Famatinanthoideae.

It is locally known as sacansa. For more than 100 years, the species was known to science only from the type collection. It was described in 1885 and originally assigned to the genus ''Aphyllocladus''. Description ''Famatinanthus'' is a long-lived, xerophitic, thornless shrub of ½—1¾ m high. Flowers can be found from December to February. It has fifty four chromosomes (2n=54), probably developed through multiplication of a base set of nine (n=9).
