Baneberry
''Actaea'', commonly called baneberry, bugbane and cohosh, is a genus of flowering plants of the family Ranunculaceae, native to subtropical, temperate and subarctic regions of Europe, Asia and North America. Taxonomy The genus was redefined to include ''Cimicifuga'' and '' Souliea'' in the 1990s (Compton et al. 1998, Compton & Culham 2002, Gao et al. 2006, RHS Plant Finder, 2007) based on combined evidence from DNA sequence data, similarity in biochemical constituents and on morphology returning it to the original Linnean concept of the genus. The number of species in ''Actaea'' is to 25–30 using this concept. Other botanists (e.g., Hoffman 1999, Wang et al. 1999, Lee & Park 2004, Wang et al. 2009) reject this merger because only one group (''Actaea'') have fleshy fruit while the remainder have dry fruit. However, this narrower generic concept works for only a single morphological character and other characters such as number of carpels moves the generic boundary. The genu ...

Hart's-tongue Thyme-moss
''Asplenium scolopendrium'', commonly known as the hart's-tongue fern, is an evergreen fern in the genus ''Asplenium'' native to the Northern Hemisphere. Description The most striking and unusual feature of the fern is its simple, undivided fronds. The leaves' supposed resemblance to the tongue of a hart (an archaic term for a male red deer) gave rise to the common name "hart's-tongue fern". Taxonomy Linnaeus first gave the hart's-tongue fern the binomial ''Asplenium scolopendrium'' in his '' Species Plantarum'' of 1753. The Latin specific epithet ''scolopendrium'' is derived from the Greek ''skolopendra'', meaning a centipede or millipede; this is due to the sori pattern being reminiscent of a myriapod's legs. A global phylogeny of ''Asplenium'' published in 2020 divided the genus into eleven clades, which were given informal names pending further taxonomic study. ''A. scolopendrium'' belongs to the "''Phyllitis'' subclade" of the "''Phyllitis'' clade". Members of the ''Phyl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
