Guizotia Abyssinica
''Guizotia abyssinica'' is an erect, stout, branched annual herb, grown for its edible oil and seed. Its cultivation originated in the Eritrea, Eritrean and Ethiopian highlands, and has spread to other parts of Ethiopia. Common names include noog/nug (Ethiopian Semitic languages, Ethio-Semitic and Languages of Eritrea, Eritrean ኑግ ''nūg'' or ኒህዩግ ''nihyug''); niger, nyger, or nyjer seed (all pronounced ); ramtil or ramtilla; inga seed; and blackseed. Seed Native to Ethiopia, Eritrea and Malawi, niger seeds are also grown in India. Niger seeds resemble sunflower seeds in shape, but are smaller in size and black. It bears a fairly thick, adherent seed coat and can be stored for up to a year without deterioration. Niger seed contains proteins, oil and soluble sugars. Noug has been described as semi-domesticated, self-incompatible crop with yellow flowering heads and seeds Recent studies have used molecular markers to reveal the genetic diversity of some noug populatio ...

Guizotia Jacksonii
''Guizotia jacksonii'' is a low, creeping, perennial plant with ovate leaves and yellow flowerheads belonging to the family Asteraceae. This species is endemic to Kenya, and grows in along roads and other open treaded places in the forest zones the central highlands of Kenya. Taxonomy In 1902, Spencer Le Marchant Moore was the first to describe this species of sunfleck as ''Coreopsis jacksonii'', based on a specimen collected by Frederick John Jackson from the Kiambu County in Kenya in 1899. John Hutchinson assigned a plant collected by Battiscombe from the Aberdare Range in Nyandarua County to the genus ''Guizotia'' and called it ''G. reptans''. Earl Edward Sherff described in 1923 a plant from the western slopes of Mount Kenya, found by Mearns, as ''Bidens spathulata''. By 1926 he had realised it was identical to Moore's species, but as he thought it better placed in ''Bidens'', he made the new combination ''B. jacksonii''. Robert Elias Fries collected a slightly different sp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Asteraceae Genera
The family Asteraceae, alternatively Compositae, consists of over 32,000 known species of flowering plants in over 1,900 genera within the order Asterales. Commonly referred to as the aster, daisy, composite, or sunflower family, Compositae were first described in the year 1740. The number of species in Asteraceae is rivaled only by the Orchidaceae, and which is the larger family is unclear as the quantity of extant species in each family is unknown. Most species of Asteraceae are annual, biennial, or perennial herbaceous plants, but there are also shrubs, vines, and trees. The family has a widespread distribution, from subpolar to tropical regions in a wide variety of habitats. Most occur in hot desert and cold or hot semi-desert climates, and they are found on every continent but Antarctica. The primary common characteristic is the existence of sometimes hundreds of tiny individual florets which are held together by protective involucres in flower heads, or more technically ...

Flora Of Africa
Flora is all the plant life present in a particular region or time, generally the naturally occurring (indigenous) native plants. Sometimes bacteria and fungi are also referred to as flora, as in the terms '' gut flora'' or '' skin flora''. Etymology The word "flora" comes from the Latin name of Flora, the goddess of plants, flowers, and fertility in Roman mythology. The technical term "flora" is then derived from a metonymy of this goddess at the end of the sixteenth century. It was first used in poetry to denote the natural vegetation of an area, but soon also assumed the meaning of a work cataloguing such vegetation. Moreover, "Flora" was used to refer to the flowers of an artificial garden in the seventeenth century. The distinction between vegetation (the general appearance of a community) and flora (the taxonomic composition of a community) was first made by Jules Thurmann (1849). Prior to this, the two terms were used indiscriminately.Thurmann, J. (1849). ''Essai de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Alexandre Henri Gabriel De Cassini
Count Alexandre Henri Gabriel de Cassini (9 May 1781 – 23 April 1832) was a French botanist and natural history, naturalist, who specialised in the sunflower family (Asteraceae) (then known as family Compositae). He was the youngest of five children of Dominique, comte de Cassini, Jacques Dominique, Comte de Cassini, famous for completing the French cartography#Cassini_maps, map of France, who had succeeded his father as the director of the Paris Observatory. He was also the great-great-grandson of famous Italian-French astronomer, Giovanni Domenico Cassini, discoverer of Jupiter's Great Red Spot and the Cassini division in Saturn's rings. The genus ''Cassinia'' was named in his honour by the botanist Robert Brown (Scottish botanist from Montrose), Robert Brown. He named many flowering plants and new genera in the sunflower family (Asteraceae), many of them from North America. He published 65 papers and 11 reviews in the ''[Nouveau] Bulletin des Sciences'' of the Philomatic s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
