Geogenanthus Poeppigii
''Geogenanthus poeppigii'', commonly called the seersucker plant, is a flowering plant species in the family '' Commelinaceae'' (the dayflower & spiderwort family). As currently circumscribed, the genus ''Geogenanthus'' includes two other species, ''G. ciliatus'' and ''G. rhizanthus''. This species is named after 19th century German naturalist Eduard Friedrich Poeppig. ''Geogenanthus undatus'' is an outdated synonym for ''G. poeppigii''. Etymology The specific epithet ''poeppigii'' is named after the man who first discovered this species, Eduard Friedrich Poeppig (1798-1868). This species got its common name, 'seersucker plant', because of its close resemblance to the puckering of seersucker fabric. Systematics ''Geogenanthus poeppiggi'' belongs to the genus ''Geogenanthus'' of the flowering plant family ''Commelinaceae''. ''Commelinaceae'' is a well defined family of 41 genera and about 650 species. ''G. poeppiggi'' is placed under the subtribe ''Dichorisandrinae'', within th ...

Dichorisandrinae
Dichorisandrinae is a subtribe within the tribe Tradescantieae of the flowering plant family Commelinaceae. It consists of 5 genera and around 51 species. The subtribe represents a diverse assemblage native to tropical South America and a contiguous portion of Central America. Not only is this subtribe remarkable for the range of morphological and ecological variation within it, but it also includes species that represent novel exceptions to the terrestrial habit, longitudinally-dehiscent anthers, and/or exarillate seeds typical of the family. Exceptional taxa include '' Dichorisandra'', characterized by the unusual combination of a vining habit, poricidal anthers, and arillate seeds. ''Cochliostema'' is atypical in having an epiphytic habit and flowers with spirally-coiled anthers concealed in petaloid extensions of the filament. '' Geogenanthus'' is distinguished by a particular 6-celled stomatal complex and basal axillary inflorescences. ''Plowmanianthus'' consists of prostra ...

Cochliostema
''Cochliostema'' is a genus of plants with two species in the family Commelinaceae (the spiderwort and dayflower family). The genus occurs from southern Nicaragua to southern Ecuador. Systematics ''Cochliostema'' is a member of the subtribe Dichorisandrinae of the tribe Tradescantieae of the flowering plant family Commelinaceae. Its closest relative in the Dichorisandrinae is ''Plowmanianthus'', followed by ''Geogenanthus''. All three genera share the possession of flower petals fringed with moniliform trichomes. Within ''Cochliostema'' there are two species: ''Cochliostema velutinum'' R.W.Read and ''Cochliostema odoratissimum'' Lemaire. ''Cochliostema jacobianum'', a 19th-century name thought to represent another species and still popular among horticulturists, is considered as part of the latter species. Morphology Rosette, typically unbranched herbs with somewhat succulent, strap-shaped leaves. In the wild, plants grow as epiphytes; however, terrestrial plants are found ...

Commelinaceae
Commelinaceae is a family of flowering plants. In less formal contexts, the group is referred to as the dayflower family or spiderwort family. It is one of five families in the order Commelinales and by far the largest of these with about 731 known species in 41 genera. Well known genera include ''Commelina'' (dayflowers) and ''Tradescantia'' (spiderworts). The family is diverse in both the Old World tropics and the New World tropics, with some genera present in both. The variation in morphology, especially that of the flower and inflorescence, is considered to be exceptionally high amongst the angiosperms. The family has always been recognized by most taxonomists. The APG III system of 2009 (unchanged from the APG system of 1998), also recognizes this family, and assigns it to the order Commelinales in the clade commelinids in the monocots. The family counts several hundred species of herbaceous plants. Many are cultivated as ornamentals. The stems of these plants are genera ...

Ernst Heinrich Georg Ule
Ernst Heinrich Georg Ule (12 March 1854 – 15 July 1915) was a German botanist and plant collector. Biography He was born on 12 March 1854 in Halle an der Saale to science writer Otto Eduard Vincenz Ule (1820–1876). His brother was geographer Wilhelm Ule (1861–1940). Originally trained as a gardener, and worked at the botanical gardens in Halle and Berlin. He then emigrated to Brazil in 1883, where he worked as a private tutor and botanical collector. Subsequently, he served as a ''naturalista viajante'' (traveling naturalist) at the National Museum in Rio de Janeiro, where he was appointed sub-director (1895), and later director, of the museum's botanical department. From 1900 to 1903 he was engaged in botanical research in the Amazonas region of Brazil, during which time, he also conducted botanical investigations in neighbouring areas. After his return to Germany, he worked as a scientific assistant at the Berlin-Dahlem Botanical Garden and Museum (1913–14). He d ...

Colombia
Colombia (, ; ), officially the Republic of Colombia, is a country in South America with insular regions in North America—near Nicaragua's Caribbean coast—as well as in the Pacific Ocean. The Colombian mainland is bordered by the Caribbean Sea to the north, Venezuela to the east and northeast, Brazil to the southeast, Ecuador and Peru to the south and southwest, the Pacific Ocean to the west, and Panama to the northwest. Colombia is divided into 32 departments and the Capital District of Bogotá, the country's largest city. It covers an area of 1,141,748 square kilometers (440,831 sq mi), and has a population of 52 million. Colombia's cultural heritage—including language, religion, cuisine, and art—reflects its history as a Spanish colony, fusing cultural elements brought by immigration from Europe and the Middle East, with those brought by enslaved Africans, as well as with those of the various Amerindian civilizations that predate colonization.
