Pepinia
''Pitcairnia'' subg. ''Pepinia'' is a subgenus of plants in the family Bromeliaceae. It has at times been treated as the separate genus ''Pepinia'', but is now included again in the genus ''Pitcairnia''. The name is for Pierre Denis Pépin, French member of the Imperial and Central Society of Agriculture (c.1802-1876). Taxonomy ''Pepinia'' was established as a genus in 1870 by Adolphe-Théodore Brongniart in a publication by Édouard André. ''Pepinia'' was reduced to a subgenus of ''Pitcairnia'' in 1881 by John Gilbert Baker John Gilbert Baker (13 January 1834 – 16 August 1920) was an English botanist. His son was the botanist Edmund Gilbert Baker (1864–1949). Biography Baker was born in Guisborough in North Yorkshire, the son of John and Mary (née Gilbert ..., but elevated again to a genus in 1988, largely on the basis of the morphology of its seeds. The use of morphological characters to differentiate ''Pepinia'' from ''Pitcairnia'' was rejected in 1999; a view l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pitcairnia
''Pitcairnia'' is a genus of plants in the Family (biology), family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Pitcairnioideae. It was named for William Pitcairn, Scottish physician and gardener (1711–1791). The genus ''Pitcairnia'' ranks as the second most prolific of the bromeliad family (after ''Tillandsia).'' They are most abundant in Colombia, Peru and Brazil, but can also be found in areas from Cuba and Mexico south to Argentina. One species, ''Pitcairnia feliciana'', is found in tropical West Africa and is the only member of the family Bromeliaceae not native to the Americas. Almost all ''Pitcairnias'' are Terrestrial plant, terrestrial or wiktionary:saxicolous, saxicolous, and prefer moist areas. However, many are found growing epiphyte, epiphytically in trees. Taxonomy ''Pitcairnia'' was established as a genus by Charles Louis L'Héritier de Brutelle in 1788. In 1870, ''Pepinia'' was established as a genus by Adolphe-Théodore Brongniart in a publication by Édouard André. ''Pepinia'' ...
