picture info	Gloxinia (genus) ''Gloxinia'' is a genus containing three species of tropical rhizomatous herbs in the flowering plant family Gesneriaceae. The species are primarily found in the Andes of South America, but ''Gloxinia perennis'' is also found in Central America and the West Indies, where it has probably escaped from cultivation. ''Gloxinia perennis'' is the original (type) species of the genus, and for much of its history the genus consisted of only ''G. perennis'' and a very small number of other species. The classification of ''Gloxinia'' later changed reflect the 1976 classification of Hans Wiehler, who took a broader view of the genus. A recent analysis of ''Gloxinia'' and related genera based on molecular and morphological work has determined that Wiehler's circumscription of the genus was unnatural, both phylogenetically and morphologically. The analyses demonstrated that the genera ''Anodiscus'' and ''Koellikeria'', each with a single species, were more closely related to ''Gloxinia perenn ...

	Sinningia Speciosa ''Sinningia speciosa'', sometimes known in the horticultural trade as gloxinia, is a Tuber, tuberous member of the flowering plant native to Brazil within the family Gesneriaceae. Originally included in the genus ''Gloxinia (genus), Gloxinia'' in 1817, it was reclassified to ''Sinningia''. Showy ''S. speciosa'' hybrids are still sometimes referred to simply as "gloxinia", although this name is now technically incorrect. The name florist's gloxinia is now sometimes used to distinguish it from the Rhizome, rhizomatous species now included in the genus ''Gloxinia (genus), Gloxinia''. Another common name is Brazilian gloxinia. The plants produce large, velvety, brightly colored flowers and are popular Houseplant, houseplants. Cultural requirements are similar to those of Streptocarpus sect. Saintpaulia, African violets except that ''S. speciosa'' generally requires more light and often has a Dormancy, dormant period, when the tuber should be kept cool and dry until it resprouts. Cul ...

picture info	Lophospermum Erubescens ''Lophospermum erubescens'', known as Mexican twist or creeping gloxinia, is a climbing or sprawling herbaceous perennial plant, native to the Sierra Madre Oriental mountains of Mexico, where it is found along forest margins or canyon walls. It climbs by means of twining leaf stalks. Wild plants have pink and white tubular flowers, although other colours are found in cultivation. It has been cultivated as an ornamental plant since at least 1830. Although not frost-hardy, it will survive if its base and roots are protected from freezing in the winter. It has escaped from cultivation and become naturalized in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. ''Lophospermum erubescens'' has been confused with '' Lophospermum scandens'', partly because the earliest illustration of ''L. erubescens'' was labelled as ''L. scandens''. Among other differences, ''L. erubescens'' has a more climbing habit than ''L. scandens'', with many twining leaf stalks; also the sepals ar ...

picture info	Plantaginaceae Plantaginaceae, the plantain family, is a large, diverse family of flowering plants in the order Lamiales that includes common flowers such as snapdragon and foxglove. It is unrelated to the banana-like fruit also called "plantain." In older classifications, Plantaginaceae was the only family of the order Plantaginales, but numerous phylogenetic studies, summarized by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, have demonstrated that this taxon should be included within Lamiales. Overview The plantain family as traditionally circumscribed consisted of only three genera: ''Bougueria'', ''Littorella'', and ''Plantago''. However phylogenetic research has indicated that Plantaginaceae ''sensu stricto'' (in the strict sense) were nested within Scrophulariaceae (but forming a group that did not include the type genus of that family, ''Scrophularia''). Although Veronicaceae (1782) is the oldest family name for this group, Plantaginaceae (1789) is a conserved name under the International Code of B ...

	Incarvillea Delavayi ''Incarvillea delavayi'', the socalled hardy gloxinia or flowering fern, is a species of flowering plant in the family Bignoniaceae, native to western Sichuan and northwest Yunnan provinces of China. The true '' Gloxinia'' are members of the Gesneriaceae, while true ferns are flowerless plants which reproduce through spores In biology, a spore is a unit of sexual or asexual reproduction that may be adapted for dispersal and for survival, often for extended periods of time, in unfavourable conditions. Spores form part of the life cycles of many plants, algae, .... A slugprone perennial with fernlike leaves, it is hardy in USDA zones 5b through 7, and is recommended for borders and rock gardens in part shade to full sun. The original species and a number of cultivars are commercially available, including 'Bees Pink' and 'Snowtop'.
