Romanzoffia
''Romanzoffia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the waterleaf family known as mistmaids or mistmaidens. There are 5 species which are native to western North America from California north to Alaska. Mistmaids may be annual or perennial and low patchy herbs to small bushes, depending on species. They bear attractive bell-shaped white flowers that make them desirable as ornamentals in the appropriate climates.

Romanzoffia Californica
''Romanzoffia californica'' is a species of flowering plant in the borage family known by the common name California mistmaiden. It is native to Oregon and northern California, where it grows in moist and wet habitat, such as coastal bluffs and mountain forests. ''Romanzoffia californica'' grows erect to 40 centimeters tall from a network of hairy brown tubers. Around the base is a number of leaves with rounded, evenly lobed blades on petioles several centimeters long. The inflorescence is a curving cyme of flowers, each on a small, erect pedicel. The flower has a funnel-shaped corolla which may just exceed a centimeter long, set in a calyx of pointed sepal A sepal () is a part of the flower of angiosperms (flowering plants). Usually green, sepals typically function as protection for the flower in bud, and often as support for the petals when in bloom., p. 106 The term ''sepalum'' was coined b ...s. The corolla is white in color with a yellow throat. The fruit is a ca ...

Romanzoffia Sitchensis
''Romanzoffia sitchensis'' is a species of flowering plant in the borage family known by the common name Sitka mistmaiden. It is native to western North America from Alaska through British Columbia and Alberta to far northern California and Montana. It grows in moist, rocky habitat, such as mountain cliffsides. It grows erect to 20, or occasionally 30, centimeters tall, the base of the stem widened where the overlapping petioles of the leaves emerge. The leaf blades are somewhat rounded or oval and notched into lobes along the edges. The inflorescence is a loose, curving or drooping cyme of flowers, each on a small, erect pedicel. The flower has a bell- or funnel-shaped corolla which may just exceed a centimeter long, set in a calyx of narrow, thin sepal A sepal () is a part of the flower of angiosperms (flowering plants).

Romanzoffia Tracyi
''Romanzoffia tracyi'' is a species of flowering plant in the borage family known by the common names Tracy's mistmaiden and Tracy's romanzoffia. It is native to the coastline of western North America from far northern California north to the southern tip of Vancouver Island, where it grows among rocks on oceanside bluffs. It is a tufted plant reaching no more than about 12 centimeters tall, its herbage growing from a network of hairy brown tubers. The leaves have rounded blades notched into lobes along the edges, borne on petioles which may be several centimeters long. The inflorescence is short cyme of funnel-shaped flowers each just under a centimeter long. The flower has a yellow-throated white corolla set in a calyx of narrow, pointed sepal A sepal () is a part of the flower of angiosperms (flowering plants).

Hydrophylloideae
Hydrophylloideae is a subfamily of the plant family Boraginaceae. Their taxonomic position is somewhat uncertain. Traditionally, and under the Cronquist system, they were given family rank under the name Hydrophyllaceae, and treated as part of the order Solanales. More recent systems have recognised their close relationship to the borage family, Boraginaceae, initially by placing Hydrophyllaceae and Boraginaceae together in an order Boraginales, and most recently by demoting Hydrophyllaceae to a subfamily of Boraginaceae. However the placement and circumscription of Boraginaceae is still uncertain: it is unplaced at order level, and there is some prospect of it being split up again in future. Plants in this subfamily may be annual or perennial herbs or shrubs, with either a prostrate or an erect stem. Most have a taproot. The flowers are bisexual, and normally radial, with 5 petals and 5 stamens. About 20 genera, containing around 300 species, are recognised; many of them are n ...

Adelbert Von Chamisso
Adelbert von Chamisso (; 30 January 178121 August 1838) was a German poet and botanist, author of ''Peter Schlemihl'', a famous story about a man who sold his shadow. He was commonly known in French as Adelbert de Chamisso (or Chamissot) de Boncourt, a name referring to the family estate at Boncourt. Life The son of Louis Marie, Count of Chamisso, by his marriage to Anne Marie Gargam, Chamisso began life as Louis Charles Adélaïde de Chamissot at the ''château'' of Boncourt at Ante, in Champagne, France, the ancestral seat of his family. His name appears in several forms, one of the most common being ''Ludolf Karl Adelbert von Chamisso.''Rodolfo E.G. Pichi Sermolli. 1996. ''Authors of Scientific Names in Pteridophyta''. Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

Flora Of Western Canada
Flora is all the plant life present in a particular region or time, generally the naturally occurring (indigenous) native plants. Sometimes bacteria and fungi are also referred to as flora, as in the terms '' gut flora'' or '' skin flora''. Etymology The word "flora" comes from the Latin name of Flora, the goddess of plants, flowers, and fertility in Roman mythology. The technical term "flora" is then derived from a metonymy of this goddess at the end of the sixteenth century. It was first used in poetry to denote the natural vegetation of an area, but soon also assumed the meaning of a work cataloguing such vegetation. Moreover, "Flora" was used to refer to the flowers of an artificial garden in the seventeenth century. The distinction between vegetation (the general appearance of a community) and flora (the taxonomic composition of a community) was first made by Jules Thurmann (1849). Prior to this, the two terms were used indiscriminately.Thurmann, J. (1849). ''Essai de ...

Taxa Named By Adelbert Von Chamisso
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; plural taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion. If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were set forth in Carl Linnaeus's system in ''Systema Naturae'', 10th edition (1758), as well as an unpublished work by Bernard and Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. The idea of a unit-based system of biological classification was first made widely available in 1805 in the intro ...
