Mycopteris Martiniana
''Mycopteris'' is a genus of ferns in the family Polypodiaceae, subfamily Grammitidoideae, according to the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I). It is known from the American tropics. Description Most members of the genus are epiphytes, although some grow on soil or on rocks. Taxonomy The genus was first described by Michael Sundue in 2014 to receive some of the species of the genus '' Terpsichore''. When that genus was described by Alan R. Smith in 1993, he divided it into five informal groups. Subsequent morphological and molecular studies showed that ''Terpsichore'' was polyphyletic, but its groups were largely monophyletic and could furnish the basis of new genera. These genera were described over the next several years; Sundue's new genus ''Mycopteris'', encompassing the ''T. taxifolia'' group, was the last group to be removed from ''Terpsichore sensu lato''. The name "''Mycopteris''" is derived from the Greek roots ''myco''-, "fungus" ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Conrad Vernon Morton
Conrad Vernon Morton (24 October 1905 – 29 July 1972) was an American botanist who did notable writings on Ferns. He was also a specialist in Gesneriaceae and Solanaceae for the Smithsonian Institution from 1928. In 1938, botanists Standl. & Steyerm., published '' Mortoniodendron'', a genus of flowering plants from Central America, belonging to the family Malvaceae in Conrad Morton's honour. Then in 1939, botanist Robert Everard Woodson published ''Mortoniella'' a monotypic genus of flowering plants from Central America, in the family Apocynaceae, also in his honour. Later in 1975, botanist Wiehler published '' Neomortonia'', a genus of flowering plant from South America, belonging to the family Gesneriaceae.

John Smith (botanist)
John Smith (1798–1888) was a British botanist who was the first curator at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (Kew Gardens), starting in 1841. He had first been employed at the gardens as a stove boy (stoking stoves to warm the greenhouses) in 1822. Along with the directors, Sir William Jackson Hooker and Sir Joseph Hooker, he oversaw the conversion of the gardens from private royal gardens to public gardens when Queen Victoria converted them, possibly saving them from oblivion. He further prevented the gardens from catastrophic decline during the late 19th century when they were neglected in funding priorities. According to the Kew website, "It is significant that when stove-boy-Smith arrived at Kew, 40 species of fern were grown but when Curator Smith retired, there were 1,084." He was born in Pittenweem, Scotland, in 1798. He died 12 February 1888 at Park House, Kew Road The A307 road runs through SW London and NW Surrey. It is primary at the north-east end; the remainder is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
