Cleome
''Cleome'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Cleomaceae, commonly known as spider flowers, spider plants, spider weeds, or bee plants. Previously, it had been placed in the family Capparaceae, until DNA studies found the Cleomaceae genera to be more closely related to the Brassicaceae than the Capparaceae. Cleome and clammyweed, (''Polanisia dodecandra'') can sometimes be confused. The simplest way to differentiate the two is to compare the seedpods which project out or down on cleome and up on clammyweed. The genus ''sensu stricto'' includes about 170 species of herbaceous annual or perennial plants and shrubs.Huxley, A., ed. (1992). ''New RHS Dictionary of Gardening'' 1: 652-653. Macmillan. . The genus has a subcosmopolitan distribution throughout the tropical and warm temperate regions of the world. However, a recent DNA study failed to separate ''Cleome'', ''Podandrogyne'', and '' Polanisia'' from each other, so some taxonomists have abandoned the last two of the ...

Cleome Gynandra
''Cleome gynandra'' is a species of '' Cleome'' that is used as a green vegetable. It is known by many common names including Shona cabbage, African cabbage, spiderwisp, cat's whiskers, , and stinkweed. It is an annual wildflower native to Africa but has become widespread in many tropical and sub-tropical parts of the world. It is an erect, branching plant generally between 25 cm and 60 cm tall. Its sparse leaves are each made up of 3–5 oval-shaped leaflets. The flowers are white, sometimes changing to rose pink as they age. The seed is a brown 1.5 mm diameter sphere. The leaves and flowers are both edible. The leaves have a strong bitter, sometimes peppery flavor similar to mustard greens. Uses Typically, the leaves and shoots are eaten boiled or in stews. The leaves are often eaten in Sub-Saharan Africa, where they are often dried for storage, then cooked with milk or butter to reduce its bitter taste. In Uganda and Tanzania, the leaves are cooked with grou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cleome Angustifolia
''Cleome angustifolia'', known as golden cleome, yellow cleome or yellow mouse whiskers, is an African species of plant in the Cleomaceae family. It is common along roadsides and in disturbed areas and is eaten as vegetable locally. Swedish naturalist Peter Forsskål Peter Forsskål, sometimes spelled Pehr Forsskål, Peter Forskaol, Petrus Forskål or Pehr Forsskåhl (11 January 1732 – 11 July 1763) was a Swedish-speaking Finnish explorer, orientalist, naturalist, and an apostle of Carl Linnaeus. Earl ... described ''C. angustifolia'' in 1775. It is one of three species in genus '' Cleome'' (the others being '' C. gynandra'' and '' C. oxalidea'') that independently acquired the pathway of carbon fixation. A species close to ''C. angustifolia'', '' Cleome paradoxa'', is – intermediate. References {{Taxonbar, from=Q15516428 angustifolia Plants described in 1775 ...

Cleome Hassleriana
''Cleome hassleriana'', commonly known as spider flower, spider plant, pink queen, or grandfather's whiskers, is a species of flowering plant in the genus '' Cleome'' of the family Cleomaceae, native to southern South America in Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and southeast Brazil. It has also been introduced to South Asia, including the Haor area of Bangladesh and India. It is an annual growing to a height of , with spirally arranged leaves. The leaves are palmately compound, with five or seven leaflets, the leaflets up to long and broad and the leaf petiole up to long. The plant is sometimes mistakenly identified as cannabis due to its leaves and general growth shape. The flowers are purple, pink, or white, with four petals and six long stamens. The fruit is a capsule up to 15 cm long and broad, containing several seeds. Flowering lasts from late spring to early fall.Huxley, A., ed. (1992). ''New RHS Dictionary of Gardening'' 1: 652.

Cleomaceae
The Cleomaceae are a small family of flowering plants in the order Brassicales, comprising about 300 species in 10 genera, or about 150 species in 17 genera.Cleomaceae, Zhang Mingli (张明理)1; Gordon C. Tucker2, Harvard.edu/ref> These genera were previously included in the family Capparaceae, but were raised to a distinct family when DNA evidence suggested the genera included in it are more closely related to the Brassicaceae than they are to the Capparaceae. The APG II system allows for Cleomaceae to be included in Brassicaceae.Stevens, P. F. (2001 onwards) Angiosperm Phylogeny WebsiteBrassicales Taxonomy In 1994, a group of scientists including Walter Stephen Judd suggested to merge the Capparaceae (which at that time included the Cleomaceae) with the Brassicaceae. Early DNA-analysis showed that the Capparaceae - as defined at that moment - were paraphyletic, and others suggested to assign the genera closest to the Brassicaceae to the Cleomaceae.

Capparaceae
The Capparaceae (or Capparidaceae), commonly known as the caper family, are a family of plants in the order Brassicales. As currently circumscribed, the family contains 33 genera and about 700 species. The largest genera are '' Capparis'' (about 150 species), '' Maerua'' (about 100 species), '' Boscia'' (37 species) and ''Cadaba'' (30 species). Taxonomy The Capparaceae have long been considered closely related to and have often been included in the Brassicaceae, the mustard family (APG, 1998), in part because both groups produce glucosinolate (mustard oil) compounds. Subsequent molecular studies support Capparaceae'' sensu stricto'' as paraphyletic with respect to the Brassicaceae. However ''Cleome'' and several related genera are more closely related to members of the Brassicaceae than to the other Capparaceae. These genera are now either placed in the Brassicaceae (as subfamily Clemoideae) or segregated into the Cleomaceae. Several more genera of the traditional Capparaceae ar ...

Polanisia Dodecandra
''Polanisia dodecandra'' is a species of flowering plant in the Cleomaceae family, known by the common name redwhisker clammyweed or clammyweed, and there are three subspecies of ''Polanisia''. Usually annual, occasionally perennial, Polanisia is native to North America, and is found throughout much of Canada and the United States. It favors full sun, mesic to dry conditions, and barren, sandy or gravelly soils, even highly disturbed areas where there is little other ground vegetation. It looks similar to a close relative, the spider flower ('' Cleome''). The scientific name of the genus derives from the fact that the plant has numerous, long stamens of unequal lengths (from Greek ''polys'', "many", and ''anisos'', "unequal"). The name of the species, ''dodecandra'' means "having 12 stamens". The common name clammyweed refers to the sticky, or clammy, residue left on hands after handling the plant. ''Polanisia'' grows from tall and the vegetation and sap have a noticeable odo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brassicaceae
Brassicaceae () or (the older) Cruciferae () is a medium-sized and economically important family of flowering plants commonly known as the mustards, the crucifers, or the cabbage family. Most are herbaceous plants, while some are shrubs. The leaves are simple (although are sometimes deeply incised), lack stipules, and appear alternately on stems or in rosettes. The inflorescences are terminal and lack bracts. The flowers have four free sepals, four free alternating petals, two shorter free stamens and four longer free stamens. The fruit has seeds in rows, divided by a thin wall (or septum). The family contains 372 genera and 4,060 accepted species. The largest genera are ''Draba'' (440 species), ''Erysimum'' (261 species), ''Lepidium'' (234 species), ''Cardamine'' (233 species), and ''Alyssum'' (207 species). The family contains the cruciferous vegetables, including species such as ''Brassica oleracea'' (cultivated as cabbage, kale, cauliflower, broccoli and collards), ...
