Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...

Curio Talinoides
''Curio talinoides'', syn. ''Senecio mandraliscae'', also known as blue straws, blue chalksticks, dassieharpuis, or narrow-leaf chalk sticks, is a succulent plant of the family Asteraceae that is native to South Africa. The origin of this plant is dubious and it may be a hybrid. Description The bluest of the curio plants, it is about 50 to 70 cm tall with 4.5-9.5 cm long leaves that are thickly and alternately arranged, jammed on the stems, and are set about 0.3-0.5 cm aside. The leaves are linear, rising, sickle shaped and would be narrow at both ends. Unlike the similar looking Curio repens, its leaves are much narrower and elongated. Curio repens is also easily distinguished by its shorter, often boat-shaped leaves. It is also easily confused with '' Curio ficoides'', which has a similar growth habit. However, the leaves of ''C. talinoides'' are rounded-cylindrical in cross section. In contrast, the leaves of ''C. ficoides'' are usually somewhat knife-like, fl ...

Curio Rowleyanus
''Curio rowleyanus'', syn. ''Senecio rowleyanus'', is a flowering plant in the daisy family Asteraceae. It is a creeping, perennial, succulent vine native to the drier parts of southwest Africa. In its natural environment its stems trail on the ground, rooting where they touch and form dense mats. It often avoids direct sunlight by growing in the shade of other plants and rocks. It is commonly known as string-of-pearls or string-of-beads. "String-of-beads" and several other common names are shared with '' Curio herreanus'' (string of watermelons), which has teardrop-shaped leaves, rather than spherical. Taxonomy This plant was named after British botanist Gordon Douglas Rowley who specialized in Cactaceae and succulents. According to IPNI, the currently accepted name ''Curio rowleyanus'' was originally published in 1999 by Paul V. Heath in Calyx. Sutton under Whitestone Cliffe 6(2): 55 (as ''Curio roeleanus''). Earlier names, now regarded as synonyms, are ''Kleinia rowleyana'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Curio Repens
''Curio repens'', syn. ''Senecio serpens'', is a species of the genus ''Curio'' in the Asteraceae family. A succulent endemic to the Western Cape province of South Africa, it is typically found growing from crevices in rocky sandstone slopes. Commonly named blue chalksticks, it is used as an ornamental plant. Description It is a semi-trailing, low-growing dwarf shrub that forms a dense mat that reaches only about 20 cm in height and features silvery-blueish, finger-like fleshy leaves. It produces small and round, pompom-like flowers that may superficially resemble a virus. The flowers appear as off-white from distance, but would have yellow and pink tinges on the stamen up-close. Flowering season is usually between spring and autumn. It was first formally described as ''Cacalia repens'' by Carl Linnaeus in 1767. It should be distinguished from ''Curio talinoides'' by its shorter, broader and often boat-shaped leaves. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Curio Radicans
''Curio radicans'', syn. ''Senecio radicans'', is a succulent houseplant that is native to South Africa. A member of the family Asteraceae, the asters, this species is closely related to the common string of pearls and ''Curio hallianus''. It has multiple tendrils of glossy, banana-shaped foliage. It is commonly known as string of bananas or fishhook senecio. Like most members of the ''Curio'' genus, ''C. radicans'' is relatively hardy and easy to grow, making it a great starting point for novice gardeners and those seeking entry to the succulent or container gardening hobbies.Mace. "Cactus and Succulents: A Care Manual", Mace, Tony and Suzanne, 2001, Laurel Glen Publishing An interesting addition to any home or garden, ''C. radicans'' is especially good for pots, hanging baskets, succulent gardens, and other areas in need of textural interest.Baldwin.
