Streptosolen
''Streptosolen'' is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Solanaceae. It is closely related to the genus Browallia, within which it was originally placed. The single species, ''Streptosolen jamesonii'', the marmalade bush or fire bush, is an evergreen shrub bearing loose clusters of flowers which change gradually from yellow to red as they develop, resulting in an overall appearance resembling orange marmalade (whence the name), found in open woodlands in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Peru. In its native Ecuador, the plant has the Spanish common names flor de quinde (= 'hummingbird flower'), flor del sol (= 'flower of the sun') and jaboncillo (= 'little soap (plant)').Montserrat Rios, Fani Tinitana, Pablo Jarrín, Natalia Donoso and Juan Carlos Romero-Benavides, ''“Horchata” drink in Southern Ecuador : medicinal plants and people’s wellbeing'' Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2017).

Solanaceae
The Solanaceae , or nightshades, are a family of flowering plants that ranges from annual and perennial herbs to vines, lianas, epiphytes, shrubs, and trees, and includes a number of agricultural crops, medicinal plants, spices, weeds, and ornamentals. Many members of the family contain potent alkaloids, and some are highly toxic, but many—including tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, bell and chili peppers—are used as food. The family belongs to the order Solanales, in the asterid group and class Magnoliopsida ( dicotyledons). The Solanaceae consists of about 98 genera and some 2,700 species, with a great diversity of habitats, morphology and ecology. The name Solanaceae derives from the genus ''Solanum''. The etymology of the Latin word is unclear. The name may come from a perceived resemblance of certain solanaceous flowers to the sun and its rays. At least one species of ''Solanum'' is known as the "sunberry". Alternatively, the name could originate from the Latin verb ''sol ...

Browallia Eludens
''Browallia eludens'' is a small herb in the genus ''Browallia'' in the family Solanaceae. It is known only from a few locales in Arizona, Sonora, and Chihuahua. Indeed, at the time of its initial publication in 1993, this represented the first time that any member of the genus had been reported from the United States. The epithet "eludens" refers to the fact that the plant had eluded botanists for many years. The species is considered critically imperiled in the United States because it is known from a single location, in Santa Cruz County, Arizona Santa Cruz is a county in southern Arizona, United States. As of the 2020 census, the population is 47,669. The county seat is Nogales. The county was established in 1899. It borders Pima County to the north and west, Cochise County to the ea ..., a few km north of the Mexican border. The plants general appearance is unusual for the family. It is a small, delicate, erect herb with yellow flowers. It occurs in moist habitats ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cestroideae
Cestroideae (syn. Browallioideae) is a subfamily of the plant family Solanaceae, the nightshades. It currently contains the three tribes and seven genera, as follows: *Browallieae Hunz. **''Browallia'' L. **'' Streptosolen'' (Benth.) Miers *Cestreae Don **''Cestrum'' L. **''Sessea'' Ruiz & Pav. **'' Vestia'' Willd. *Salpiglossideae (Benth.) Hunz. **''Reyesia'' Gay **''Salpiglossis'' Ruiz & Pav. With the (current) exceptions of the genera ''Sessea'' and ''Reyesia'', the subfamily furnishes many colourful garden plants of considerable horticultural merit.

The plants were grown on and forwarded to the Royal Society but with the name ''Dalea''. This plant was named ''Browallia'' ('' Species Plantarum'' 2: 631. 1753 May 1753 ''Genera Plantarum ''Genera Plantarum'' is a publication of Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778).
