Diapensia Purpurea
''Diapensia'' is a genus of flowering plants of the family Diapensiaceae. Most of the species are found in the Himalayas. ''Diapensia lapponica'' has a high Arctic, circumpolar distribution. Species ''Diapensia obovata'', which is found in Asia and western North America, is now generally considered to be ''Diapensia lapponica'' subsp. ''obovata'', which would make the European and eastern North American ''Diapensia lapponica'' into ''Diapensia lapponica'' subsp. ''lapponica''. Species currently accepted by The Plant List, are as follows: *''Diapensia himalaica'' Hook.f. & Thomson *''Diapensia lapponica'' Carl Linnaeus, L. *''Diapensia purpurea'' Diels *''Diapensia wardii'' W.E.Evans References {{Taxonbar, from=Q7179462 Diapensiaceae Taxa named by Carl Linnaeus Ericales genera ...

Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (; 23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after his ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné Blunt (2004), p. 171. (), was a Swedish botanist, zoologist, taxonomist, and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was born in Råshult, the countryside of Småland, in southern Sweden. He received most of his higher education at Uppsala University and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730. He lived abroad between 1735 and 1738, where he studied and also published the first edition of his ' in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden where he became professor of medicine and botany at Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In the 1750s and 1760s, he continued to collect an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 ...

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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Diapensiaceae
Diapensiaceae is a small family of flowering plants, which includes 15 species in 6 genera. The genera include '' Berneuxia'' Decne. (1 species), '' Diapensia'' L. (5 species), ''Galax'' Sims (1 species), '' Pyxidanthera'' Michx. (2 species), '' Shortia'' Torr. & A.Gray (4 species), and '' Schizocodon'' Siebold & Zucc. (2 species). Members of this family have little economic importance; however, some members are cultivated by florists. Taxonomy Past literature classified Diapensiaceae as an old family, without defining the meaning of old. The name '' Diapensia'' was given to ''Diapensia lapponica'' by Linnaeus. Previously, it was the Greek name of sanicle. The family, originally including only ''Diapensia lapponica'', was named by Heinrich Friedrich Link in 1829. Concerning the interrelationships in Diapensiaceae, debate still remains regarding the recognition of ''Schizocodon'' and whether it should be separate from ''Shortia''. However, recent molecular studies support the s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Plant List
The Plant List was a list of botanical names of species of plants created by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the Missouri Botanical Garden and launched in 2010. It was intended to be a comprehensive record of all known names of plant species over time, and was produced in response to Target 1 of the 2002-2010 Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSP C), to produce "An online flora of all known plants.” It has not been updated since 2013, and has been superseded by World Flora Online. World Flora Online In October 2012, the follow-up project World Flora Online was launched with the aim to publish an online flora of all known plants by 2020. This is a project of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, with the aim of halting the loss of plant species worldwide by 2020. It is developed by a collaborative group of institutions around the world response to the 2011-2020 GSPC's updated Target 1. This aims to achieve an online Flora of all known plants by 2020. It ...

Diapensia Himalaica
''Diapensia'' is a genus of flowering plants of the family Diapensiaceae. Most of the species are found in the Himalayas. ''Diapensia lapponica'' has a high Arctic, circumpolar distribution. Species ''Diapensia obovata'', which is found in Asia and western North America, is now generally considered to be ''Diapensia lapponica'' subsp. ''obovata'', which would make the European and eastern North American ''Diapensia lapponica'' into ''Diapensia lapponica'' subsp. ''lapponica''. Species currently accepted by The Plant List, are as follows: *'' Diapensia himalaica'' Hook.f. & Thomson *''Diapensia lapponica'' L. *''Diapensia purpurea ''Diapensia'' is a genus of flowering plants of the family Diapensiaceae.

Diapensia Lapponica
''Diapensia lapponica'', the pincushion plant, is a plant in the family Diapensiaceae, the only circumboreal species in the genus '' Diapensia'', the others being mainly in the Himalaya and on mountains in southwestern China. This species likely became circumboreal-circumpolar rctic–alpineafter it jumped to arctic habitat from North China and Russia. The most likely candidate for ancestor is a white-flowered '' D. purpurea'' The plants grow on exposed rocky ridges that are kept free from snow by high winds. ''Diapensia lapponica'' is extremely slow and low-growing and cannot compete with plants that overtop it. The plant is very sensitive to higher temperatures (global warming a lethal problem in Sweden) and so is often in misty foggy habitat. It usually dies when transplanted to lowland gardens and so this is not recommended. Cold-treated or wild and winter-collected seed will germinate indoors. The seed and leaves are high in lipids. It is a small cushion-forming evergreen p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Taxa Named By Carl Linnaeus
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; plural taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion. If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were set forth in Carl Linnaeus's system in ''Systema Naturae'', 10th edition (1758), as well as an unpublished work by Bernard and Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. The idea of a unit-based system of biological classification was first made widely available in 1805 in the int ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
