Calystegia Catesbiana
''Calystegia'' (bindweed, false bindweed, or morning glory) is a genus of about 25 species of flowering plants in the bindweed family Convolvulaceae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution in temperate and subtropical regions, but with half of the species endemic to California. They are annual or herbaceous perennial twining vines growing 1–5 m tall, with spirally arranged leaves. The flowers are trumpet-shaped, 3–10 cm diameter, white or pink, with (in most species) a sometimes inflated basal epicalyx. The genus bears much similarity to a related genus ''Convolvulus'', and is sometimes combined with it; it is distinguished primarily by the pollen being smooth, and in the ovary being unilocular. Some of the species, notably ''Calystegia sepium'' and '' C. silvatica'', are problematic weeds, which can swamp other more valuable plants by climbing over them, but some are also deliberately grown for their attractive flowers. ''Calystegia'' species are eaten by the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Calystegia Sepium
''Calystegia sepium'' (hedge bindweed, Rutland beauty, bugle vine, heavenly trumpets, bellbind, granny-pop-out-of-bed and many others) is a species of flowering plant in the family Convolvulaceae. It has a cosmopolitan distribution, subcosmopolitan distribution throughout temperate regions of the North and South hemispheres. Description It is an herbaceous perennial plant, perennial that twines around other plants, in a counter-clockwise direction, to a height of up to , rarely . The pale matte green leaf, leaves are arranged spirally, simple, pointed at the tip and are arrowhead shaped, long and broad. The flowers are white, or pale pink with five darker stripes, produced from late spring to the end of summer. In the UK, between July and September. In the bud, they are covered by large green but tinged with crimson bracts which remain but scarcely overlap and do not cover the sepals of the open flower. The open flowers are trumpet-shaped, diameter, white, or pale pink with wh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Calystegia Silvatica
The morning glory ''Calystegia silvatica'' (syn. ''Calystegia sepium silvatica'', ''C. inflata'', and ''C. sylvestris'') is known by the common name giant bindweed or large bindweed. It is the largest species of bindweed and is a strong rampant climber. It is native to southern Europe but has been introduced to many other areas because it is an attractive garden plant. ''Calystegia silvatica'' subsp. ''fraterniflora'' (Mack. & Bush) Brummitt (short-stalked false bindweed) is native to North America. It has large, arrow-shaped leaves and showy white trumpet-shaped flowers up to 9 centimeters in diameter. It is considered a weed in some areas where it has escaped cultivation and now grows wild. It spreads easily via hardy rhizome In botany and dendrology, a rhizome (; , ) is a modified subterranean plant stem that sends out roots and shoots from its nodes. Rhizomes are also called creeping rootstalks or just rootstalks. Rhizomes develop from axillary buds and grow hori ...s. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Calystegia Collina
''Calystegia collina'' is a species of morning glory known by the common name Coast Range false bindweed. It is endemic to the Coast Ranges of northern and central California, where it grows on slopes and in woodlands, often on serpentine soils. Description ''Calystegia collina'' is a rhizomatous perennial herb with densely hairy stems and foliage. The stem lies flat and generally does not climb as many other morning glories do. It reaches a maximum length of about 30 centimeters. The small leaves are kidney-shaped or deeply lobed and are wavy or crinkly along the edges.

Calystegia Affinis
''Calystegia affinis'' is a critically endangered species of climbing or creeping vine in the plant family Convolvulaceae. It is endemic to Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island. In 2003 only about 45 mature plants were known, with about 40 of those on Norfolk Island.Coyne, Peter. ''Norfolk Island's Fascinating Flora''. Petaurus Press, 2011, p. 61 Etymology The genus name, ''Calystegia'' is derived from the Greek: kalux, "cup", and stegos, "a covering", meaning "a covering cup" and refers to the bracteoles enclosing the calyx. The specific epithet, ''affinis'', is Latin for 'neighbouring', which was possibly chosen by Endlicher on the basis of his comment that the species was closely allied to ''Calystegia marginata''. Description ''Calystegia affinis'' is a thin-stemmed plant in the genus ''Calystegia'' which climbs by twining. It has sparse alternate, arrow-headed leaves about 6 cm x 5 cm. The flowers are axillary, solitary, pink with five cream longitudinal bands an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Reader's Digest
''Reader's Digest'' is an American general-interest family magazine, published ten times a year. Formerly based in Chappaqua, New York, it is now headquartered in midtown Manhattan. The magazine was founded in 1922 by DeWitt Wallace and his wife Lila Bell Wallace.

Small Angle Shades
The small angle shades (''Euplexia lucipara'') is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is distributed throughout the Palearctic. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae''. As the common name suggests, this species is closely related to the angle shades (''Phlogophora meticulosa''), and is considerably smaller (wingspan 30–35 mm), but does not especially resemble that species. The forewings are dark brown with a broad, pale subterminal band, wider and paler towards the costa. The hindwings are whitish at the base, graduating to brown at the margins. In the British Isles this species flies at night in June and July, with a second generation sometimes emerging in September. It is attracted to light and sugar. Distribution It is found throughout Europe, in Algeria, in western Asia and through the Palearctic to Siberia, China, and Japan.

Bedellia Somnulentella
''Bedellia somnulentella'', the sweet potato leaf miner, is a moth in the family Bedelliidae. Description The wingspan is 8–10 mm. The larvae feed on '' Calystegia pubescens'', ''Calystegia sepium'', ''Convolvulus althaeoides'', ''Convolvulus arvensis'', ''Convolvulus siculus'', ''Convolvulus tricolour'', ''Ipomoea batatas'' and ''Ipomoea purpurea''. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a narrow tortuous corridor with a central frass line, that often cuts off part of the leaf. Later, larvae leave the mine and begin to make a series of full depth fleck mines. Pupation takes place outside the leaf. The pupa is attached to a leaf without a cocoon. Distribution Originally from Asia, where its food plants are found, it has reached a nearly cosmopolitan distribution and has been recorded from Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, southern Kazakhstan, Kirgizia, Uzbekistan, nearly all of Europe, the Middle East, Africa, India, Japan, North America, Australia, New Ze ...
