Hornungia Procumbens
''Hornungia procumbens'' is a species of herb native to the temperate zone of the northern hemisphere. Common names include oval purse, slenderweed and prostrate hutchinsia. Description It is an annual herb with white flowers. Growth habit ranged from procumbent (trailing along the ground) to upright; when upright it can reach up to 30 centimetres in height. Taxonomy The generic placement of this species has long been in dispute. When first published by Carl Linnaeus in his 1753 ''Species plantarum'', it was placed in ''Lepidium'' as ''Lepidium procumbens''. In 1815, Nicaise Auguste Desvaux transferred it into '' Hutchinsia''. In 1832 Elias Magnus Fries transferred it into '' Capsella''. It was transferred into '' Hymenolobus'' by Hans Schinz and Albert Thellung in 1921, and four years later placed in ''Hornungia'' by August von Hayek August von Hayek (14 December 1871 – 11 June 1928) was an Austrian physician and botanist born in Vienna.

Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (; 23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after his ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné Blunt (2004), p. 171. (), was a Swedish botanist, zoologist, taxonomist, and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was born in Råshult, the countryside of Småland, in southern Sweden. He received most of his higher education at Uppsala University and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730. He lived abroad between 1735 and 1738, where he studied and also published the first edition of his ' in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden where he became professor of medicine and botany at Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In the 1750s and 1760s, he continued to collect an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
August Von Hayek
August von Hayek (14 December 1871 – 11 June 1928) was an Austrian physician and botanist born in Vienna. He was the son of naturalist Gustav von Hayek and the father of economist Friedrich Hayek (1899–1992). In 1895 he obtained his medical doctorate from the University of Vienna. Soon, he was employed by the municipal ministry of health. He obtained his PhD in 1905. Beginning in 1922, he taught classes at the '' Hochschule für Bodenkultur'' in Vienna, and from 1926, he was an associate professor at the university. He died in 1928 in Vienna. He is remembered for phytogeographical investigations that took place within the Austria-Hungarian Empire, in particular, Styria and the Balkans. He also conducted detailed studies on the historical development of flora found along the eastern and southeastern edge of the Alps. In the field of plant systematics, he specialized in ''Centaurea ''Centaurea'' () is a genus of over 700 species of herbaceous thistle-like floweri ...

Species Plantarum
' (Latin for "The Species of Plants") is a book by Carl Linnaeus, originally published in 1753, which lists every species of plant known at the time, classified into genera. It is the first work to consistently apply binomial names and was the starting point for the naming of plants. Publication ' was published on 1 May 1753 by Laurentius Salvius in Stockholm, in two volumes. A second edition was published in 1762–1763, and a third edition in 1764, although this "scarcely differed" from the second. Further editions were published after Linnaeus' death in 1778, under the direction of Karl Ludwig Willdenow, the director of the Berlin Botanical Garden; the fifth edition (1800) was published in four volumes. Importance ' was the first botanical work to consistently apply the binomial nomenclature system of naming to any large group of organisms (Linnaeus' tenth edition of ' would apply the same technique to animals for the first time in 1758). Prior to this work, a plant spe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Elias Magnus Fries (15 August 1794 – 8 February 1878) was a Swedish mycologist and botanist. Career Fries was born at Femsjö (Hylte Municipality), Småland, the son of the pastor there.

Capsella (plant)
''Capsella'' is a genus of herbaceous plant and biennial plants in the family Brassicaceae. It is a close relative of '' Arabidopsis'', ''Neslia'', and '' Halimolobos''. Some authors circumscribe ''Capsella'' to contain only three species: ''Capsella bursa-pastoris'', ''Capsella rubella'' and '' Capsella grandiflora''. , Kew's Plants of the World Online list eight species. ''Capsella rubella'' is a self-fertilizing species that became self-compatible 50,000 to 100,000 years ago. Its outcrossing progenitor was ''Capsella grandiflora''. In general, the shift from outcrossing to self-fertilization is among the most common transitions in flowering plants. ''Capsella rubella'' is studied as a model for understanding the evolution of self-fertilization. The name is said to derive from Latin ''capsa'', a box or case, alluding to fruit resembling a medieval wallet or purse; the suffix ''-ella'' denotes "lesser". Species Species include: *''Capsella bursa-pastoris'' *'' Capsella gr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
