Chamaecostus Cuspidatus
''Chamaecostus cuspidatus'', common name fiery costus or spiral flag, is a species of herbaceous plant in the family Costaceae native to eastern Brazil (States of Bahia and Espirito Santo). In India, it is known as insulin plant for its purported anti-diabetic properties. ''Chamaecostus cuspidatus'' has large fleshy looking leaves. The undersides of these large, smooth, dark green leaves have light purple shade. The leaves are spirally arranged around the stem, forming attractive, arching clumps arising from underground rootstocks. The maximum height of these plants is about two feet. The flowers are orange in color and are in diameter. Flowering occurs during the warm months. And they appear to be cone-like heads at the tips of branches. Cultivation In Siddha medicine, it is known as kostum. It is being cultivated in Kashmir and the Himalayan regions for its root. It is related to the gingers and was originally part of the family Zingiberaceae. But now the '' Costus'' speci ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Costaceae
Costaceae, known as the ''Costus'' family or spiral gingers, is a family of pantropical monocots. It belongs to the order Zingiberales, which contains horticulturally and economically important plants such as the banana (Musaceae), bird-of-paradise (Strelitziaceae), and edible ginger (Zingiberaceae). The seven genera in Costaceae together contain about 143 known species (1 in ''Monocostus'', 2 in ''Dimerocostus'', 16 in ''Tapeinochilos'', 2 in ''Paracostus'', 8 in ''Chamaecostus'', c. 5 in ''Hellenia'', and c. 80 in ''Costus'').Chelsea D. Specht & Dennis Wm. Stevenson. 2006. "A new phylogeny-based generic classification of Costaceae (Zingiberales)".''Taxon'' 55(1):153-163. (See ''External links'' below). They are native to tropical climates of Asia, Africa, Central America, and South America. Several species are frequently found in cultivation. Description The simple leaves are entire and spirally arranged, with those toward the base of the stem usually bladeless. Leaf bases ...

Endemic
Endemism is the state of a species being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, the Cape sugarbird is found exclusively in southwestern South Africa and is therefore said to be ''endemic'' to that particular part of the world. An endemic species can be also be referred to as an ''endemism'' or in scientific literature as an ''endemite''. For example '' Cytisus aeolicus'' is an endemite of the Italian flora. '' Adzharia renschi'' was once believed to be an endemite of the Caucasus, but it was later discovered to be a non-indigenous species from South America belonging to a different genus. The extreme opposite of an endemic species is one with a cosmopolitan distribution, having a global or widespread range. A rare alternative term for a species that is endemic is "precinctive", which applies to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
