Corydalis Pumila
''Corydalis pumila'' is a species of plant in the family Papaveraceae. It is found in Central Europe and has a small, fragmented distribution. In Poland, it is a rare species found only in the western part of the country. It grows mainly in fertile deciduous forests, rarely in cemeteries and parks. The aboveground shoot develops only for two months in early spring. As a very rare species losing its habitats, it is subject to legal protection in Poland. Geographic distribution The species has a relatively small and fragmented Species distribution, distribution range, covering Central Europe from southern Scandinavia to Sardinia, the central part of the Italian Peninsula and northern Greece. It is more common in such areas as southern Sweden, the region of the Harz mountains in Germany, and western Hungary. In the rest of the areas, the species' habitats are usually sparse and scattered. In Poland, it can be found in the western part of the country and is generally a very rare pl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Species
In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology, behaviour or ecological niche. In addition, paleontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. However, only about 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a two-part name, a "binomial". The first part of a binomial is the genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specific name or the specific epithet (in botanical nomenclature, also sometimes i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
