Greeneocharis
''Greeneocharis'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae. There are about 63 species and its native range extends from western U.S.A. down to northwestern Mexico and to western Argentina. It is part of subtribe of ''Amsinckiinae''. It was once thought to be a either a subgenus or synonym of ''Cryptantha'' , before being segregated out due to molecular phylogenetic analysis. Description It is an annual herb, with cushion-like, roots, which can have red-purple tinge. It has branches ascending to erect on a slender stem, generally strigose (having straight hairs all pointing in more or less the same direction). The leaves are sessile, arranged alternate and congested at the branch tips. They are linear, oblanceolate, or narrowly oblong (in shape) and hairy. The inflorescence is spike-like cymes. They have flower bracts. The flower consists of calyx lobes which are fused at base, and the tube is circumscissile in fruit (meaning it splits or opens along a circumfer ...

Greeneocharis Circumscissa
''Greeneocharis circumscissa'' is a species of flowering plant in the borage family, known by the common name cushion cryptantha. It is native to western North America from Washington to Baja California to Colorado and it is also found in Argentina. It grows in sandy or gravelly types of habitat, from mountains to desert, below above sea level.Philip Alexander Munz This is an annual herb producing a short, bristly, multi-branched stem tangled into a mat no more than 10 centimeters tall. It grows from a red taproot which dries purple. The leaves are up to 1.5 centimeters long, linear to widely lance-shaped, and densely hairy to bristly. The inflorescence is a length of developing fruits with a dense cluster of up to 5 flowers at the tip. The flower has a five-lobed white corolla with yellow appendages at the top of its tube. It flowers between April and August. It was first published in Bull. Torrey Bot. Club vol.36 on page 677 in 1909. The Latin specific epithet In tax ...

Johnstonella
''Johnstonella'' is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Boraginaceae. Its native range is south western and southern USA to Mexico, Peru to southern South America. It is found in the American states of Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Utah, as well as in the countries of Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Peru. Taxonomy The genus name of ''Johnstonella'' is in honour of Ivan Murray Johnston (1898–1960), an American botanist. It was first described and published by August Brand in Repert. Spec. Nov. Regni Veg. Vol.21 on page 249 in 1925. Then in 1927, Ivan M. Johnston wrote that the genus of ''Oreocarya'' (in the Boraginaceae family) could be combined with ''Cryptantha''. Then Edwin Blake Payson in 1927 (A Monograph of the section ''Oreocarya'' of ''Cryptantha'', Ann. Mo. Bot. Gard. 14:211-358) agreed with Johnston and Payson had four sections in ''Cryptantha'': ''Eucryptantha'' (= ''Cryptantha''), ''Geocarya'', ''Krynitzkia'' (inclusive of ''Eremoc ...

Eremocarya
''Eremocarya'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae. There are about 63 species and its native range extends through western United States to northwestern Mexico. It is part of subtribe of ''Amsinckiinae''. It was once thought to be an either a subgenus or synonym of ''Cryptantha'' , before being segregated out due to molecular phylogenetic analysis. Description A profusely branching annual herb with very slender, ascending, nearly leafless stems and the leaves are arranged in a basal rosette. The roots and the lower parts of the stems are often stained with a red, or purple hue. The flowers in March–June, are dense racemes, spiciform (spike-shaped) with evenly spaced, leafy-bracteate beneath each flower. The calyx is small and divided into 5 sections from the base. It has a small white corolla. It has 4 ovules and 4 nutlets (which appear after flowering), which are similar in size and shape. The gynobase (a short conical or flat elevation of the recepta ...

Oreocarya
''Oreocarya'' (Perennial Cat's-Eye) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae. There are about 63 species and its native range extends from western and central Canada, through western United States to north Mexico. It is part of subtribe of ''Amsinckiinae''. It was once thought to be a either a subgenus or synonym of ''Cryptantha'' , as they both had plenty of tiny flowers, hairy leaves, and persisting dried flower stems. Botanist William Alfred Weber later noted that the 2 genera were different in form as ''Oreocarya'' was a "biennial or perennial from rosettes of basal leaves; flowers more than 5 mm in diameter, often distinctly long-tubular with prominent yellow eye", while ''Cryptantha'' was an "annual without rosettes of basal leaves; flowers minute, less than 5 mm diameter, short-tubed with inconspicuous eye". Description They are perennial or biennial, plants. Most species are perennials but a few (such as ''O. setosissima'' and ''O. virgata'') are bienni ...

Boraginaceae
Boraginaceae, the borage or forget-me-not family, includes about 2,000 species of shrubs, trees and herbs in 146, to 156 genera with a worldwide distribution. The APG IV system from 2016 classifies the Boraginaceae as single family of the order Boraginales within the asterids. Under the older Cronquist system it was included in Lamiales, but it is now clear that it is no more similar to the other families in this order than they are to families in several other asterid orders. A revision of the Boraginales, also from 2016, split the Boraginaceae in eleven distinct families: Boraginaceae ''sensu stricto'', Codonaceae, Coldeniaceae, Cordiaceae, Ehretiaceae, Heliotropiaceae, Hoplestigmataceae, Hydrophyllaceae, Lennoaceae, Namaceae, and Wellstediaceae. These plants have alternately arranged leaves, or a combination of alternate and opposite leaves. The leaf blades usually have a narrow shape; many are linear or lance-shaped. They are smooth-edged or toothed, and some have petiol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cryptantha
''Cryptantha'' is a genus of flowering plants in the borage family, Boraginaceae. They are known commonly as cat's eyes and popcorn flowers (the latter name is also used to refer to the closely related genus ''Plagiobothrys'',Hasenstab-Lehman, K. E. and M. G. Simpson. (2012)Cat's eyes and popcorn flowers: phylogenetic systematics of the genus ''Cryptantha'' s. l. (Boraginaceae).''Systematic Botany'' 37(3), 738-57. and members of the subtribe of ''Amsinckiinae''). They are distributed throughout western North America and western South America, but they are absent from the regions in between. These are annual or perennial herbs usually coated in rough hairs and bearing rounded flower corollas that are almost always white, but are yellow in a few species. Several morphological characters are used to distinguish species from one another, but the most definitive is the form of the nutlet, which varies in shape, size, color, and pattern of attachment.
