Epilobium Nevadense
''Epilobium nevadense'' is a rare and vulnerable species of flowering plant in the willowherb family Onagraceae. It is known from a few scattered populations in mountain ranges in Nevada, Utah, and northwestern Arizona. It grows on talus slopes composed of either volcanic or limestone origin from 5200–9000 feet in elevation. The nearest known relative of Nevada willowherb is Snow Mountain willowherb (''Epilobium nivium''), which has a similar appearance and grows in similar habitats. These two species together form ''Epilobium'' sect. ''Cordylophorurn'' subsect. ''Petrolobium'' and have been shown to form infertile hybrids in cultivation.Raven, P.

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] |

Epilobium Nivium
''Epilobium nivium'', commonly known as the Snow Mountain willowherb, is a perennial subshrub endemic to the Coast Range Mountains of Northern California. It was originally described based upon a collection from Snow Mountain. Although first described in 1892, as of 2019 the species is known from fewer than 20 small occurrences spread throughout high elevation sites across Colusa, Glenn, Lake, Mendocino, Tehama, and Trinity counties. ''Epilobium nivium'' has a California Rare Plant Rank of 1B.2 (fairly endangered in CA). The California Natural Diversity Database has assigned it a NatureServe rank of G2G3 (globally vulnerable or imperiled). The species is also included on the US Forest Service list of sensitive species. The plant has bee-pollinated flowers and a growth form suggestive of a desert species. Snow Mountain willowherb thrives under extremes. It grows in sites which alternate between hot, dry summer conditions and snow cover in winter. ''Epilobium nivium'' grows in ...

Plants Described In 1929
Plants are predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. Historically, the plant kingdom encompassed all living things that were not animals, and included algae and fungi; however, all current definitions of Plantae exclude the fungi and some algae, as well as the prokaryotes (the archaea and bacteria). By one definition, plants form the clade Viridiplantae (Latin name for "green plants") which is sister of the Glaucophyta, and consists of the green algae and Embryophyta (land plants). The latter includes the flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, ferns and their allies, hornworts, liverworts, and mosses. Most plants are multicellular organisms. Green plants obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis by primary chloroplasts that are derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria. Their chloroplasts contain chlorophylls a and b, which gives them their green color. Some plants are parasitic or mycotrophic and have lost the ability ...
