Tropaeolum
''Tropaeolum'' , commonly known as nasturtium (; literally "nose-twister" or "nose-tweaker"), is a genus of roughly 80 species of annual and perennial herbaceous flowering plants. It was named by Carl Linnaeus in his book ''Species Plantarum'', and is the only genus in the family Tropaeolaceae. The nasturtiums received their common name because they produce an oil similar to that of watercress (''Nasturtium officinale''). The genus ''Tropaeolum'', native to South and Central America, includes several very popular garden plants, the most common being '' T. majus'', '' T. peregrinum'' and '' T. speciosum''. One of the hardiest species is '' T. polyphyllum'' from Chile, the perennial roots of which can survive the winter underground at elevations of . Plants in this genus have showy, often intensely bright flowers and rounded, peltate (shield-shaped) leaves with the petiole in the centre. The flowers are bisexual and zygomorphic, with five petals, a superior three-carpelled ov ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nasturtium (plant Genus)
''Nasturtium'' () is a genus of a small number of plant species in the family Brassicaceae (cabbage family) commonly known as watercress or yellowcress. The best known species are the edible ''Nasturtium officinale'' and '' Nasturtium microphyllum''. ''Nasturtium'' was previously synonymised with ''Rorippa'', but molecular evidence supports its maintenance as a distinct genus more closely related to ''Cardamine'' than to ''Rorippa'' ''sensu stricto''. These plants are related to garden cress and mustard, noteworthy for a peppery, tangy (pungent) flavor. The name ''Nasturtium'' comes from the Latin ''nasus tortus'', meaning "twisted nose", in reference to the effect on the nasal passages of eating the plants. ''Nasturtium'' foliage is used as food by the caterpillars of certain Lepidoptera, including ''Orthonama obstipata'' (The Gem). One species, '' Nasturtium gambellii'', is federally listed in California as an endangered species. Nomenclature The genus ''Nasturtium'' shoul ...
