Gunnera Mixta
''Gunnera mixta'' is a species of ''Gunnera'' native to New Zealand. The species is visually similar to ''Gunnera strigosa'', but with differences in the leaf shape and hair distribution. The fruits are small, only 2 millimetres in length, and red to reddish-yellow. It grows in moist, lowland forests and grasslands. References mixta ''Mixta'' is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria of the family Erwiniaceae. The members of this genus are facultatively anaerobic and motile. Background ''Mixta'' was proposed as a novel genus in 2018, based on a genomic study of members of genus ... Taxa named by Thomas Kirk Flora of New Zealand {{eudicot-stub ...

Gunnera
''Gunnera'' is the sole genus of herbaceous flowering plants in the family Gunneraceae, which contains 63 species. Some species in this genus, namely those in the subgenus ''Panke'', have extremely large leaves. Species in the genus are variously native to Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, Papuasia, Hawaii, insular Southeast Asia, Africa, and Madagascar. The stalks of many species are edible. Taxonomy ''Gunnera'' is the only genus in the family Gunneraceae. The APG II system, of 2003, also recognizes this family and assigns it to the order Gunnerales in the clade core eudicots. The family then consisted of one or two genera, ''Gunnera'' and, optionally, ''Myrothamnus'', the latter optionally segregated as a separate family, Myrothamnaceae. This represents a change from the APG system, of 1998, which firmly recognized two separate families, unplaced as to order. The APG III system and APG IV system recognizes the family Gunneraceae and places ''Myrothamnus'' in Myrothamna ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Taxa Named By Thomas Kirk
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; plural taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion. If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were set forth in Carl Linnaeus's system in ''Systema Naturae'', 10th edition (1758), as well as an unpublished work by Bernard and Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. The idea of a unit-based system of biological classification was first made widely available in 1805 in the intro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
