Dinteracanthus Marlothii
''Dinteracanthus'' is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Acanthaceae. Its native range is Angola and Namibia in tropical Africa. The genus name of ''Dinteracanthus'' is in honour of Kurt Dinter (1868–1945), a German botanist and explorer in South West Africa, and Greek term ἄκανθος (akanthos) for ''Acanthus mollis'', a plant that's image was used in Greek architecture. The genus was described in Vierteljahrsschr. Naturf. Ges. Zürich Vol.60 on page 416 in 1915. It was verified by United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service on 23 January 2009.

Flowering Plant
Flowering plants are plants that bear flowers and fruits, and form the clade Angiospermae (), commonly called angiosperms. The term "angiosperm" is derived from the Greek words ('container, vessel') and ('seed'), and refers to those plants that produce their seeds enclosed within a fruit. They are by far the most diverse group of land plants with 64 orders, 416 families, approximately 13,000 known genera and 300,000 known species. Angiosperms were formerly called Magnoliophyta (). Like gymnosperms, angiosperms are seed-producing plants. They are distinguished from gymnosperms by characteristics including flowers, endosperm within their seeds, and the production of fruits that contain the seeds. The ancestors of flowering plants diverged from the common ancestor of all living gymnosperms before the end of the Carboniferous, over 300 million years ago. The closest fossil relatives of flowering plants are uncertain and contentious. The earliest angiosperm fossils ar ...
