Araceae
The Araceae are a family of monocotyledonous flowering plants in which flowers are borne on a type of inflorescence called a spadix. The spadix is usually accompanied by, and sometimes partially enclosed in, a spathe (or leaf-like bract). Also known as the arum family, members are often colloquially known as aroids. This family of 140 genera and about 4,075 known species is most diverse in the New World tropics, although also distributed in the Old World tropics and northern temperate regions. Many species display very decorative leaves and flowers, and they are widely used for gardening; popular as indoor plants and also outdoor plants where climates are mild, and winter freezes will not generally occur. However, some temperate species are also very popular in Mediterranean-climate gardening, or in moderately cool temperate zones, such as ''Zantedeschia''. Description Species within Araceae are often rhizomatous or tuberous, and the leaves nearly always contain calcium oxa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lasia
''Lasia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae, native to Asia and New Guinea. The genus contains only two known species, ''Lasia spinosa'' and ''Lasia concinna''. ''Lasia'' was believed to be a monotypic genus until 1997 when a wild population of ''Lasia concinna'' was discovered in a farmer's paddy field in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The farmer had been growing them for their edible young leaves. This species of ''Lasia'' had been known of previously only from a single specimen at the Bogor Botanic Gardens, formally described in 1920. Prior to 1997, the specimen was believed to have been a hybrid between ''Lasia spinosa'' and ''Cyrtosperma merkusii''. The subsequent discovery by Hambali and Sizemore led to the realization that it was in fact a distinct species.

Anaphyllopsis
''Anaphyllopsis'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae, native to northern South America. The genus was created in 1988 by Hay in order to account for the differences of '' Cyrtosperma americanum'' from other '' Cyrtosperma'' species. The decision was to create a genus named ''Anaphyllopsis'' and rename ''Cyrtosperma americanum'' as '' Anaphyllopsis americanum''. Two other species from the Amazon were subsequently added, '' Anaphyllopsis pinnata'' and '' Anaphyllopsis cururuana''. The leaves of ''Anaphyllopsis'' are characteristic of being pinnate. ''Anaphyllopsis'' is quite similar in appearance to the genus '' Anaphyllum''.Hay, A. (1988). ''Cyrtosperma (Araceae) and its Old World allies''.

Anaphyllum
''Anaphyllum'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. It consists of two species. They are found in marshes, have leaves with some pinnation, and have a twisted spathe. The two species in this genus are similar in appearance to those in the genus ''Anaphyllopsis''.Bown, Demi (2000). ''Aroids: Plants of the Arum Family''.

Cyrtosperma
''Cyrtosperma'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. The genus went through considerable taxonomic changes in the 1980s, and as a result is now considered to be native only to Southeast Asia and some Pacific islands. Previously, the genus was believed to be widespread from Asia to Africa and South America, but the African and South American species were subsequently moved into separate genera. ''Cyrtosperma'' is now known to be most prominent in New Guinea. The genus ''Cyrtosperma'' is unique in this regards because it is the only known big genus in Araceae that is known to be found east of Wallace's line.Hay, A. (1988).

Dracontioides
''Dracontioides'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. It was long thought to contain only a single species until a second species was described in 2005. Both are endemic to Brazil. The type species of the genus is ''Dracontioides desciscens'', native to swamps in eastern Brazil. This species was originally classified by Heinrich Wilhelm Schott as belonging to Urospatha, but it was subsequently reassigned to its own genus ''Dracontioides'' by Adolf Engler. The genus is closely related to both '' Urospatha'' and ''Dracontium''. The most notable feature of the species its glossy extremely sagittate leaves with oval fenestrations. The leaves are attached to 2 meter long stalks that are intern attached to a spongy rhizome. Additionally, the inflorescence An inflorescence is a group or cluster of flowers arranged on a stem that is composed of a main branch or a complicated arrangement of branches.

Podolasia
''Podolasia'' is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. The single known species in the genus is ''Podolasia stipitata''. It is native to Borneo, Sumatra, and Peninsular Malaysia. ''Podolasia stipitata'' has vegetative features that are similar to the genus ''Lasia'' and has floral features similar to the genus ''Cyrtosperma''. It has leathery leaves that can vary from being hastate to sagittate (arrow-shaped). The inflorescence is white when first produced but begin to turn purple from the top down as male anthesis Anthesis is the period during which a flower is fully open and functional.

Urospatha
''Urospatha'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae that consists of approximately 10 known species. They are found growing in South America and Central America in swamps, wet savannahs, and brackish water. The leaves of the species in this genus are upward pointing and sagittate (arrow-shaped). The inflorescences are quite unique; the spathe is mottled and elongated with a spiral twist at the end. The seeds are distributed by water and have a texture similar to cork Cork or CORK may refer to: Materials * Cork (material), an impermeable buoyant plant product ** Cork (plug), a cylindrical or conical object used to seal a container ***Wine cork Places Ireland * Cork (city) ** Metropolitan Cork, also known as G ... that allows them to float.

Subfamily
In biological classification, a subfamily (Latin: ', plural ') is an auxiliary (intermediate) taxonomic rank, next below family but more inclusive than genus. Standard nomenclature rules end subfamily botanical names with "-oideae", and zoological names with "-inae". See also * International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants * International Code of Zoological Nomenclature * Rank (botany) * Rank (zoology) In biological classification, taxonomic rank is the relative level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in an ancestral or hereditary hierarchy.
