Petunia Bonjardinensis
''Petunia'' is genus of 20 species of flowering plants of South American origin. The popular flower of the same name derived its epithet from the French, which took the word ''petun'', meaning "tobacco," from a Tupi–Guarani language. A tender perennial, most of the varieties seen in gardens are hybrids ( ''Petunia'' × ''atkinsiana'', also known as ''Petunia'' × ''hybrida''). Taxonomy ''Petunia'' is a genus in the family Solanaceae, subfamily Petunioideae. Well known members of Solanaceae in other subfamilies include tobacco (subfamily Nicotianoideae), and the cape gooseberry, tomato, potato, deadly nightshade and chili pepper (subfamily Solanoideae). Some botanists place the plants of the genus '' Calibrachoa'' in the genus ''Petunia'', but this is not accepted by others. ''Petchoa'' is a hybrid genus derived from crossing ''Calibrachoa'' and ''Petunia''. Species Species include: Ecology Petunias are generally insect pollinated, with the exception of '' P. exserta'', w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Petunia Exserta
''Petunia exserta'' is a rare member of the genus ''Petunia'', endemic to the Serras de Sudeste in southern Brazil. First described in 1987, only fourteen plants were found in the wild during an expedition in 2007. In the wild, the plant is found growing only in shaded cracks on sandstone towers. It is the only ''Petunia'' species that is naturally pollinated by hummingbirds, and the only red flowered ''Petunia'' species. Description ''Petunia exserta'' has a bright red corolla with distinctive exserted stamens and Stigma (botany), stigma, the latter which are typically associated with hummingbird pollination. It shares the erect habit, and similar corolla, pollen, and stalk attributes of ''Petunia axillaris'' and ''Petunia secreta''. The flowers have no fragrance, which is not necessary for attracting hummingbirds, who have little sense of smell. The red color is due to several anthocyanin pigments, which are different from the cause of red color in modern hybrid petunias. Threa ...

Atropa Belladonna
''Atropa belladonna'', commonly known as belladonna or deadly nightshade, is a toxic perennial herbaceous plant in the nightshade family Solanaceae, which also includes tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplant (aubergine). It is native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. Its distribution extends from Great Britain in the west to western Ukraine and the Iranian province of Gilan in the east. It is also naturalised or introduced in some parts of Canada and the United States. The foliage and berries are extremely toxic when ingested, containing tropane alkaloids. These toxins include atropine, scopolamine, and hyoscyamine, which cause delirium and hallucinations, and are also used as pharmaceutical anticholinergics. Tropane alkaloids are of common occurrence not only in the Old World tribes Hyoscyameae (to which the genus Atropa belongs) and Mandragoreae, but also in the New World tribe Datureae - all of which belong to the subfamily Solanoideae of the plant family Solanaceae. ...

Petunia Integrifolia
''Petunia integrifolia'' (syn. ''Petunia violacea''), the violet petunia or violetflower petunia, is a species of wild petunia with violet-colored blooms. ''Petunia integrifolia'' is native to Argentina. ''P. integrifolia'' bears flowers approximately 1.5 inch in diameter and the plant is typically smaller and harder to cultivate than the well-known hybrid bedding ''Petunia'' now known correctly as ''Petunia × atkinsiana''. Taxonomy The species was first described as ''Salpiglossis integrifolia'' by William Jackson Hooker in 1831. It was transferred to the genus ''Petunia'' as ''P. integrifolia'' by Hans Schinz and Albert Thellung in 1915. ''Petunia inflata'' had sometimes been considered to be a subspecies of ''P. integrifolia'', but the two have different native ranges, with ''P. inflata'' growing in more northern areas. Hallucinogen ''Petunia violacea'' Lindl. has been reported to be used as a hallucinogen in Ecuador, where the plant has the vernacular name shanín. ...

Petunia Inflata
''Petunia inflata'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Solanaceae, native to Paraguay, northeastern Argentina, and southern Brazil. It is a member of the '' Petunia integrifolia'' clade, and is one of the parents of the garden petunia, ''Petunia × atkinsiana'' (formerly ''Petunia'' × ''hybrida''). It is also widely used in laboratory studies of the S-RNase Ribonuclease (commonly abbreviated RNase) is a type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components. Ribonucleases can be divided into endoribonucleases and exoribonucleases, and comprise several sub-classes within t ... mechanism of self-incompatibility in plants.
