''Mabrya coccinea'' is a mat-forming herbaceous perennial native to the Mexican state of Coahuila. It has red tubular flowers. It was first described by Ivan M. Johnston in 1950 in the genus ''Maurandya'' and transferred to ''Mabrya ''Mabrya'' is a genus of flowering plants in the plantain family, Plantaginaceae.

Herbaceous Plant
Herbaceous plants are vascular plants that have no persistent woody stems above ground. This broad category of plants includes many perennials, and nearly all annuals and biennials. Definitions of "herb" and "herbaceous" The fourth edition of the ''Shorter Oxford English Dictionary'' defines "herb" as: #"A plant whose stem does not become woody and persistent (as in a tree or shrub) but remains soft and succulent, and dies (completely or down to the root) after flowering"; #"A (freq. aromatic) plant used for flavouring or scent, in medicine, etc.". (See: Herb) The same dictionary defines "herbaceous" as: #"Of the nature of a herb; esp. not forming a woody stem but dying down to the root each year"; #"BOTANY Resembling a leaf in colour or texture. Opp. scarious". Botanical sources differ from each other on the definition of "herb". For instance, the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation includes the condition "when persisting over more than one growing season, the parts o ...

Perennial Plant
A perennial plant or simply perennial is a plant that lives more than two years. The term ('' per-'' + '' -ennial'', "through the years") is often used to differentiate a plant from shorter-lived annuals and biennials. The term is also widely used to distinguish plants with little or no woody growth (secondary growth in girth) from trees and shrubs, which are also technically perennials. Perennialsespecially small flowering plantsthat grow and bloom over the spring and summer, die back every autumn and winter, and then return in the spring from their rootstock or other overwintering structure, are known as herbaceous perennials. However, depending on the rigours of local climate (temperature, moisture, organic content in the soil, microorganisms), a plant that is a perennial in its native habitat, or in a milder garden, may be treated by a gardener as an annual and planted out every year, from seed, from cuttings, or from divisions. Tomato vines, for example, live several y ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

I. M. (Ivan Murray) Johnston (February 28, 1898–May 31, 1960), was a United States Botany, botanist. He studied at Pomona College in Claremont, California and at Harvard University. His plant collections are housed in the ''Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden'', in Claremont, and also in the ''Gray Herbarium'' of Harvard University. His areas of interest, were, among others: Fern, Pteridophytes, Spermatophytes Honours In 1925, German botanist August Brand, named a genus of flowering plants (belonging to the family Boraginaceae), from South America and southern states in USA, as ''Johnstonella'' in his honour. Then in 1933, botanist O.E.Schulz named a genus of flowering plants (belonging to the family Brassicaceae), from Chile as ''Ivania (plant), Ivania''. In 1936, botanist Hsen Hsu Hu published ''Sinojohnstonia'', which is a genus of flowering plants from China, belonging to the family Boraginaceae.

Maurandya
''Maurandya'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Plantaginaceae, native to Mexico and the south west United States (from California to central Texas). They sprawl or climb by means of twining leaf stalks. One of the four species, ''Maurandya barclayana'', is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant. The generic name is often misspelt as ''Maurandia''. Two of its species have at times been placed in the genera ''Epixiphium'' and ''Maurandella''. Description The species of ''Maurandya'' are either Herbaceous plant, herbaceous Perennial plant, perennials with fibrous roots or, in the case of ''Maurandya wislizeni, M. wislizeni'', an Annual plant, annual with a tap root. All are sprawlers or climbers, climbing by means of twining leaf stalks (Petiole (botany), petioles). The leaves are shaped like broad or narrow arrowheads, more rarely heart-shaped. The flower stalks (Peduncle (botany), peduncles) grow upwards and bear solitary flowers. The more-or-less triangular ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mabrya
''Mabrya'' is a genus of flowering plants in the plantain family, Plantaginaceae. It consists of herbaceous perennials with brittle upright or drooping stems, found in dry areas of Mexico and the southern United States. Description Species of ''Mabrya'' are herbaceous perennials with fibrous roots. They have brittle stems, usually pendant and forming mats, although more upright in ''M. erecta''. The stems branch and become woody at the base with age. Unlike related genera, such as ''Maurandya'' and ''Lophospermum'', the leaf stalks ( petioles) are straight and do not twine. The leaves are rounded or kidney shaped, generally with broad, somewhat rounded teeth. The flowers are borne individually on stalks ( peduncles) that are usually horizontal or ascending. The sepals are joined at the base; where their margins become free, they curve back on themselves. Together the sepals form an urn-shaped calyx. The flowers consist of five petals joined at the base to form a tube. The f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
