Dalbergaria
''Columnea'' is a genus of around 200 species of epiphytic herbs and shrubs in the family Gesneriaceae, native to the tropics of the Americas and the Caribbean. The tubular or oddly shaped flowers are usually large and brightly colored – usually red, yellow, or orange – sometimes resembling a fish in shape. A common name is flying goldfish plants (see also the related ''Nematanthus'') due to the unusual flower shape. The genus was named by Carl Linnaeus after the Latinized spelling of the name of the 16th-century Italian botanist Fabio Colonna (Latin: ''Fabius Columnus''). The segregate genus '' Bucinellina'' is considered by many botanists a synonym of ''Columnea''. A full list of the species now accepted in the genus, along with their synonyms, can be found at the World Checklist of Gesneriaceae.

Columnea Consanguinea (foliage)
''Columnea consanguinea'' is a species of flowering plants in the genus ''Columnea''. They are endemic to Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Panama.

The species was first described by Johannes von Hanstein in 1865. It is classified under the family Gesneriaceae. Description ''Columnea consanguinea'' is a shrub-like herb with unbranched pale brown and hairy stems that grow to a maximum length of around long. Their leaves are borne on stalks around in length, and arranged in an opposite pattern along the stems. However, one leaf in each pair is a great deal smaller than the other leaf, giving the impression that the leaves are arranged alternately. The larger leaf blades are lanceolate with unequal sides. They are about long and wide. They are smooth on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
