Drosera Hookeri
''Drosera hookeri'', the grassland sundew is an shortly erect perennial tuberous species in the carnivorous plant genus ''Drosera''. ''Drosera hookeri'' is found in south-eastern Australia. Although the holotype was collected in Tasmania, its distribution also includes Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia. This species has a complex taxonomic history, and its specific epithet acknowledges the original recognition of the taxon by Joseph Dalton Hooker. Hooker originally called his species ''Drosera foliosa'' Hook.f. ex Planch. in 1848, a name that was illegitimate as it had previously been used to describe a different species (''Drosera foliosa'' Elliott 1824). The nomenclature of ''D. hookeri'' was later clarified and the taxonomic concept significantly broadened to include most of the south-eastern Australian and New Zealand forms of the species complex that includes ''Drosera peltata''. Like other tuber sundews, ''D. hookeri'' aestivates as an underground tuber to survi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jules Émile Planchon
Jules Émile Planchon (21 March 1823 – 1 April 1888) was a French botanist born in Ganges, Hérault. Biography After receiving his Doctorate of Science at the University of Montpellier in 1844, he worked for a while at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Royal Botanical Gardens in London, and for a few years was a teacher in Nancy, France, Nancy and Ghent. In 1853 he became head of the department of botanical sciences at the University of Montpellier, where he remained for the remainder of his career. Planchon was highly regarded in scientific circles, and made a number of contributions in his classification of botanical species and varieties. He is credited with publishing over 2000 botanical names, including ''Actinidia chinensis'', better known as the "golden kiwifruit". Planchon is remembered for his work in saving French grape vineyards from ''Phylloxera vastatrix'', a microscopic, yellow aphid-like pest that was an exotic species from the United States.

Drosera Peltata
''Drosera peltata'', commonly called the shield sundewSalmon, Bruce. 2001. ''Carnivorous Plants of New Zealand''. Ecosphere Publications. or pale sundew,Erickson, Rica. 1968. ''Plants of Prey in Australia''. Lamb Paterson Pty. Ltd.: Osborne Park, Western Australia. is a climbing or scrambling perennial tuberous species in the carnivorous plant genus ''Drosera''. Among the tuberous sundews, ''D. peltata'' has the largest distribution, which includes eastern and western Australia, New Zealand, India, and most of Southeast Asia including the Philippines. The specific epithet is Latin for "shield shaped", a reference to the shape of the cauline leaves. It is either a single extremely variable species, or a complex of several closely related species of uncertain taxonomic boundaries. In Australia at least four forms have had or still have specific taxonomic recognition: ''Drosera peltata'' subsp. ''peltata'' (an autonym), ''D. peltata'' subsp. ''auriculata'', ''D. foliosa'' (also a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
