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.

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 ...

Reyesia Chilensis
''Reyesia'' is a small genus of four species of flowering plants belonging to the subfamily Cestroideae of the nightshade family Solanaceae. It is closely related to the genus '' Salpiglossis'', which provides the ornamental species '' Salpiglossis sinuata''. Together, the genera ''Reyesia'' and ''Salpiglossis'' form the tribe Salpiglossideae within the Cestroideae. Historically, the species now placed in ''Reyesia'' have been held by some authors to belong to ''Salpiglossis'', but are currently placed in a genus of their own by virtue of their tiny flowers and peculiar androecium (see description below).

Salpiglossis
''Salpiglossis'' is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the subfamily Cestroideae of family Solanaceae. It is closely related to the genus ''Reyesia'', with which it makes up the tribe Salpiglossideae. Species in the genus ''Salpiglossis'' are found in Mexico, Argentina and Chile.

Salpiglossis Sinuata
''Salpiglossis sinuata'', the painted tongue, scalloped tube tongue, velvet trumpet flower, palito amargo ( Spanish : ''bitter little stick'' - from the extreme bitterness of its leaves) or panza de burro ( Spanish : ''donkey's paunch'' ), is a flowering plant belonging to the subfamily Cestroideae of the nightshade family Solanaceae, native to southern Chile.

It was introduced to the northern hemisphere in the 1820s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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).

Sessea
''Sessea'' is a genus of 19 accepted species of shrubs, small trees and climbers belonging to the subfamily Cestroideae of the plant family Solanaceae. The flowers of ''Sessea'' are so similar to those of ''Cestrum'' that the genera cannot usually be told apart, unless the plants are in fruit. Then their distinguishing characteristics become immediately apparent; plants of the genus ''Sessea'' bearing dehiscent capsules dispersing winged seeds, while those belonging to the genus ''Cestrum'' bear juicy berries containing prismatic seeds. The flowers of both ''Sessea'' and ''Cestrum'' have tubular corollas that are long exserted from small calyces. Taxonomy The genus commemorates Spanish botanist Martín Sessé y Lacasta, was described by Nicholas Edward Brown and was published in ''Florae Peruvianae, et Chilensis Prodromus'' 21,1794 by Hipólito Ruiz López and José Antonio Pavón Jiménez.
