Loasaceae
Loasaceae is a family of 15–20 genera and about 200–260 species of flowering plants in the order Cornales, native to the Americas and Africa. Members of the family include annual, biennial and perennial herbaceous plants, and a few shrubs and small trees. Members of the subfamily Loasoideae are known to exhibit rapid thigmonastic stamen movement when pollinators are present. Taxonomy In the classification system of Dahlgren the Loasaceae were placed in the order Loasales in the superorder Loasiflorae (also called Loasanae). The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group system places them in the related order Cornales in the asterid clade. Subdivision Genera include: *''Aosa'' Weigend (sometimes included in ''Loasa'') *''Blumenbachia'' Schrad. *''Caiophora'' C. Presl *''Cevallia'' Lag. *''Chichicaste'' Weigend (sometimes included in ''Loasa'') *''Eucnide'' Zucc. *''Fuertesia'' Urb. *'' Grausa'' Weigend & R.H.Acuña *''Gronovia'' L. *''Huidobria'' Gay (sometimes included in ''Loasa'') ...

Flowering Plant
Flowering plants are plants that bear flowers and fruits, and form the clade Angiospermae (), commonly called angiosperms. The term "angiosperm" is derived from the Greek words ('container, vessel') and ('seed'), and refers to those plants that produce their seeds enclosed within a fruit. They are by far the most diverse group of land plants with 64 orders, 416 families, approximately 13,000 known genera and 300,000 known species. Angiosperms were formerly called Magnoliophyta (). Like gymnosperms, angiosperms are seed-producing plants. They are distinguished from gymnosperms by characteristics including flowers, endosperm within their seeds, and the production of fruits that contain the seeds. The ancestors of flowering plants diverged from the common ancestor of all living gymnosperms before the end of the Carboniferous, over 300 million years ago. The closest fossil relatives of flowering plants are uncertain and contentious. The earliest angiosperm fossils ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Marquesas
The Marquesas Islands (; french: Îles Marquises or ' or '; Marquesan: ' ( North Marquesan) and ' ( South Marquesan), both meaning "the land of men") are a group of volcanic islands in French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France in the southern Pacific Ocean. Their highest point is the peak of Mount Oave (french: Mont Oave, links=no) on Ua Pou island, at 1,230 m (4,035 ft) above sea level. Archaeological research suggests the islands were colonized in the 10th century AD by voyagers from West Polynesia. Over the centuries that followed, the islands have maintained a "remarkably uniform culture, biology and language". The Marquesas were named after the 16th century Spanish Viceroy of Peru, the Marquis of Cañete ( es, Marqués de Cañete, italic=unset) by navigator , who visited them in 1595. The Marquesas Islands constitute one of the five administrative divisions (') of French Polynesia. The capital of the Marquesas Islands' administrative subdivision i ...

Cornales Genera
The Cornales are an order of flowering plants, early diverging among the asterids, containing about 600 species. Plants within the Cornales usually have four-parted flowers, drupaceous fruits, and inferior to half-inferior gynoecia topped with disc-shaped nectaries. Taxonomy In the classification system of Dahlgren the Cornales were in the superorder Corniflorae (also called Cornanae). Under the APG IV system, the Cornales order includes these families: * Cornaceae (the dogwood family) * Curtisiaceae (cape lancewood) * Grubbiaceae (the sillyberry family) * Hydrangeaceae (the hydrangea family) * Hydrostachyaceae * Loasaceae (the stickleaf family) * Nyssaceae, (the tupelos) The oldest fossils assigned with confidence to the order are '' Hironoia fusiformis'', described from Coniacian age Japanese coalified fruits, and '' Suciacarpa starrii'' described from American permineralized fruits of Campanian age. Phylogeny The Cornales order is sister to the remainder of the lar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
