Lardizabalaceae
Lardizabalaceae is a family of flowering plants. The family has been universally recognized by taxonomists, including the APG II system (2003; unchanged from the APG system of 1998), which places it in the order Ranunculales, in the clade eudicots. The family consist of 7 genera with about 40 known species of woody plants. All are lianas, save ''Decaisnea'', which are pachycaul shrubs. The leaves are alternate, and compound (usually palmate), with pulvinate leaflets. The flowers are often in drooping racemes. They are found in eastern Asia, from the Himalayas to Japan, with the exception of the genera ''Lardizabala'' and ''Boquila'', both native to southern South America (Chile, and ''Boquila'' also in adjacent western Argentina Argentina (), officially the Argentine Republic ( es, link=no, República Argentina), is a country in the southern half of South America.

Boquila
''Boquila'' is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Lardizabalaceae, native to temperate forests of central and southern Chile and Argentina. The sole species is ''Boquila trifoliolata'' (DC.) Decne., called ''pilpil, voqui, voquicillo, voquillo,'' and ''voqui blanco'' in Chile. It grows vines that wrap around host plants, mimicking the host's leaves in a phenomenon called mimetic polymorphism. It bears an edible fruit (Boquila berries). This species has been shown to be capable of mimicking the leaves of its supporting trees. Ernesto Gianoli said "Boquila's leaves are extraordinarily diverse. The biggest ones can be 10 times bigger than the smallest, and they can vary from very light to very dark. In around three-quarters of cases, they're similar to the closest leaf from another tree, matching it in size, area, length of stalk, angle, and color. Boquila's leaves can even grow a spiny tip when, and only when, it climbs onto a shrub with spine-tipped leaves." ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Holboellia
''Holboellia'' is a genus of flowering plant in the Lardizabalaceae family. There are twenty species in the genus, all restricted to Southeast Asia, the Himalayas and China. ''Holboellia'' is a genus of mostly perennial, evergreen vines, although some are deciduous. The flowers are monoecious Monoecy (; adj. monoecious ) is a sexual system in seed plants where separate male and female cones or flowers are present on the same plant. It is a monomorphic sexual system alongside gynomonoecy, andromonoecy and trimonoecy. Monoecy is conne ..., that is, separate male and female flowers are produced on the same plant.

Ranunculales
Ranunculales is an order of flowering plants. Of necessity it contains the family Ranunculaceae, the buttercup family, because the name of the order is based on the name of a genus in that family. Ranunculales belongs to a paraphyletic group known as the basal eudicots. It is the most basal clade in this group; in other words, it is sister to the remaining eudicots. Widely known members include poppies, barberries, hellebores, and buttercups. Taxonomy The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group recognized seven families in Ranunculales in their APG III system, published in 2009. In the preceding APG II system, they offered the option of three segregate families as shown below. * order Ranunculales *: family Berberidaceae *: family Circaeasteraceae *:: family Kingdoniaceae ">Kingdoniaceae.html" ;"title=" family Kingdoniaceae"> family Kingdoniaceae *: family Eupteleaceae *: family Lardizabalaceae *: family Menispermaceae *: family Papaveraceae *:: [+ family Fumariaceae ] *:: [+ family Pte ...

Decaisnea
:''Decaisnea Lindl. is a synonym of Tropidia (plant), an orchid genus.'' ''Decaisnea'' Hook.f &Thomson, (猫儿屎属 mao er shi shu) known commonly as dead man's fingers, blue bean plant or blue sausage fruit, is a genus of flowering plant in the family Lardizabalaceae. It is native to eastern Asia, from China west to Nepal and south to Myanmar. The genus consists of one or two species, depending on taxonomic opinion. ''Decaisnea insignis'' (Griffith) Hook.f. & Thomson was described from Nepal, and is sometimes restricted to the plants occurring in the Himalaya, with Chinese plants distinguished as '' Decaisnea fargesii'' Franchet. The only cited distinction between the plants from the two regions is the fruit colour, yellow-green in ''D. insignis'' and bluish in ''D. fargesii''.Bean, W. J. (1973).
