Collinsia Callosa
''Collinsia callosa'' is a species of flowering plant in the Plantaginaceae, plantain family known by the common name desert mountain blue-eyed Mary. It is Endemism, endemic to California, where it grows in the mountains of the southernmost Sierra Nevada (U.S.), Sierra Nevada, the Transverse Ranges, and the mountains of the Mojave Desert region. It grows in desert scrub, chaparral, and woodland habitat on the mountain slopes. This is an Annual plant, annual Herbaceous plant, herb producing a fleshy, somewhat thick stem up to about 25 centimeters tall. The plant is overall green to red in color. The leaves are oblong and thick, their edges slightly rolled under. They are oppositely arranged and some pairs clasp the stem where they meet. The inflorescence is an interrupted series of nodes bearing flowers; one to three flowers emerge on erect Pedicel (botany), pedicels from the leaf axils. Each flower has two upper lobes and three lower lobes and is deep purple-blue in color, often ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Plantaginaceae
Plantaginaceae, the plantain family, is a large, diverse family of flowering plants in the order Lamiales that includes common flowers such as snapdragon and foxglove. It is unrelated to the banana-like fruit also called "plantain." In older classifications, Plantaginaceae was the only family of the order Plantaginales, but numerous phylogenetic studies, summarized by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, have demonstrated that this taxon should be included within Lamiales. Overview The plantain family as traditionally circumscribed consisted of only three genera: ''Bougueria'', ''Littorella'', and ''Plantago''. However phylogenetic research has indicated that Plantaginaceae ''sensu stricto'' (in the strict sense) were nested within Scrophulariaceae (but forming a group that did not include the type genus of that family, ''Scrophularia''). Although Veronicaceae (1782) is the oldest family name for this group, Plantaginaceae (1789) is a conserved name under the International Code of B ...
