Graellsia Isabellae
''Graellsia isabellae'', the Spanish moon moth, is in the silkmoth family Saturniidae. It is the only species in the monotypic genus ''Graellsia''. The species was first described by Mariano de la Paz Graells y de la Agüera in 1849 and the genus was erected by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1896. Range The moth is native to Spain and France. They live high up in the ''Alps'' and the ''Pyrenees'', where climates are generally cooler and drier. Interestingly, they have been found in ''Switzerland'', where they are not native but instead probably further generations of captive moths. They are relics originating from the ice age or beyond. It is thought that their habitat is a refuge location. This means that for the past few millions of years, while the climate of Europe has drastically changed, the conditions in the small areas in the Alps and Pyrenees have remained stable, and never changed, allowing the small remnant populations of this moth to survive for thousands of years in ...

Graellsia (plant)
''Graellsia'' is a genus of small perennial plant, perennial sub-caespitose herbs in the family Brassicaceae. Most of the species are found in Iran and Afghanistan, with one occurring in Turkey, and one in the High Atlas of Morocco. They are typically found in shady crevices of calcareous rocks at altitudes of . The genus was erected in 1842 by Pierre Edmond Boissier, commemorating the Spanish zoologist Mariano de la Paz Graells y de la Agüera. It initially contained only ''Graellsia saxifragifolia'', which had previously been placed in ''Cochlearia''. New species were gradually added, and ''Graellsia hederifolia, G. hederifolia'' was moved to ''Graellsia'', having previously been the only species in ''Draba'' sect. ''Helicodraba''. Subsequent investigations using molecular phylogenetics have questioned the grouping of ''G. hederifolia'' and ''G. saxifraga'', and ''G. hederifolia'' may need to be restored to the genus ''Draba''. It contains the following species: *''Graellsia ch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
