''Hornungia'' is a small genus of plants in the family Brassicaceae. It currently contains three species that have previously been classified as members of other genera, including ''Hutchinsia'' and ''Pritzelago''.Appel, O. and I. A. Al-Shehbaz. (1997).

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. He was the son of naturalist Gu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gagea
''Gagea'' is a large genus of spring flowers in the lily family. It is found primarily in Eurasia with a few species extending into North Africa and one species (''Gagea serotina'') in North America. The genus is named after the English naturalist Sir Thomas Gage (1791-1820). They were originally described as species of ''Ornithogalum'', which, together with the usual yellow colour of the flowers, explains the English name yellow star-of-Bethlehem for the common European species, ''Gagea lutea''. p. 25.

Ludwig Reichenbach
Heinrich Gottlieb Ludwig Reichenbach (8 January 1793 – 17 March 1879) was a German botanist and ornithologist. It was he who first requested Leopold Blaschka to make a set of glass marine invertebrate models for scientific education and museum showcasing, the successful commission giving rise to the creation of the Blaschkas' Glass sea creatures and, subsequently and indirectly, the more famous Glass Flowers. Early life Born in Leipzig and the son of Johann Friedrich Jakob Reichenbach (the author in 1818 of the first Greek-German dictionary) Reichenbach studied medicine and natural science at the University of Leipzig in 1810 and, eight years later in 1818, he the now Professor became an instructor before, in 1820, he was appointed the director of the Dresden natural history museum and a professor at the Surgical-Medical Academy in Dresden, where he remained for many years.

Liliaceae
The lily family, Liliaceae, consists of about 15 genera and 610 species of flowering plants within the order Liliales. They are monocotyledonous, perennial, herbaceous, often bulbous geophytes. Plants in this family have evolved with a fair amount of morphological diversity despite genetic similarity. Common characteristics include large flowers with parts arranged in threes: with six colored or patterned petaloid tepals (undifferentiated petals and sepals) arranged in two whorls, six stamens and a superior ovary. The leaves are linear in shape, with their veins usually arranged parallel to the edges, single and arranged alternating on the stem, or in a rosette at the base. Most species are grown from bulbs, although some have rhizomes. First described in 1789, the lily family became a paraphyletic "catch-all" (wastebasket) group of lilioid monocots that did not fit into other families and included a great number of genera now included in other families and in some cases in ...

Brassicaceae
Brassicaceae () or (the older) Cruciferae () is a medium-sized and economically important family of flowering plants commonly known as the mustards, the crucifers, or the cabbage family. Most are herbaceous plants, while some are shrubs. The leaves are simple (although are sometimes deeply incised), lack stipules, and appear alternately on stems or in rosettes. The inflorescences are terminal and lack bracts. The flowers have four free sepals, four free alternating petals, two shorter free stamens and four longer free stamens. The fruit has seeds in rows, divided by a thin wall (or septum). The family contains 372 genera and 4,060 accepted species. The largest genera are ''Draba'' (440 species), ''Erysimum'' (261 species), ''Lepidium'' (234 species), ''Cardamine'' (233 species), and ''Alyssum'' (207 species). The family contains the cruciferous vegetables, including species such as ''Brassica oleracea'' (cultivated as cabbage, kale, cauliflower, broccoli and collards), ...
