Stapelianthus Insignis
''Stapelianthus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apocynaceae, first described as a genus in 1933. The entire genus is endemic to Madagascar and is concentrated in the far south of the island. The genus is defined by the unique corona structure of its flowers. Species Species accepted by the Plants of the World Online as of January 2023 ;formerly included # ''Stapelianthus baylissii'', syn of '' Tridentea baylissii'' # ''Stapelianthus choananthus'', syn of ''Tridentea choanantha'' ;Taxonomy The species are extremely close to each other genetically, however the genus overall is very divergent from its relatives on the mainland. Phylogenetic studies have shown the genus to be most closely related to a large and widespread branch of stapeliads from mainland Africa, comprising the genera ''Huernia'', ''Tavaresia'' and a mixed sub-branch including ''Orbea'', ''Piaranthus'' and ''Stapelia ''Stapelia'' is a genus of low-growing, spineless, stem succulent plant ...

Apocynaceae Genera
Apocynaceae (from ''Apocynum'', Greek for "dog-away") is a family of flowering plants that includes trees, shrubs, herbs, stem succulents, and vines, commonly known as the dogbane family, because some taxa were used as dog poison Members of the family are native to the European, Asian, African, Australian, and American tropics or subtropics, with some temperate members. The former family Asclepiadaceae (now known as Asclepiadoideae) is considered a subfamily of Apocynaceae and contains 348 genera. A list of Apocynaceae genera may be found here. Many species are tall trees found in tropical forests, but some grow in tropical dry (xeric) environments. Also perennial herbs from temperate zones occur. Many of these plants have milky latex, and many species are poisonous if ingested, the family being rich in genera containing alkaloids and cardiac glycosides, those containing the latter often finding use as arrow poisons. Some genera of Apocynaceae, such as '' Adenium'', bleed clear ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stapelia
''Stapelia'' is a genus of low-growing, spineless, stem succulent plants, predominantly from South Africa with a few from other parts of Africa. Several Asian and Latin American species were formerly included but they have all now been transferred to other genera. The flowers of certain species, most notably ''Stapelia gigantea'', can reach 41 cm (16 inches) in diameter when fully open. Most ''Stapelia'' flowers are visibly hairy and generate the odor of rotten flesh when they bloom. Description The hairy, oddly textured and coloured appearance of many ''Stapelia'' flowers has been claimed to resemble that of rotting meat, and this, coupled with their odour, has earned the most commonly grown members of the genus ''Stapelia'' the common name of carrion flowers. A notable exception is the sweetly scented ''Stapelia flavopurpurea''. Such odours serve to attract various specialist pollinators including, in the case of carrion-scented blooms, blow flies of the dipteran ...

Piaranthus
''Piaranthus'' is a succulent plant genus in the subfamily Asclepiadoideae, in the family Apocynaceae. It was first described in 1810. Its name comes from Greek and is descriptive of the fleshy, succulent flowers typical of the genus (''"piar-" = fat'', ''"-anthos" = flower''). Description The plants typically form flat, spreading mats of multiple offsetting stems. The stems are small, compact and four-edged. Tubercles (leaf remnants) appear along the four sides. The flowers are small, fleshy, and bear five independent petals in a star shape. They appear in clusters, each flower up-turned, on a tiny inflorescence that sprouts from the tip of the stem. Each stem usually only produces a maximum of one inflorescence. The flowers of different species are in a range of colours; most emit unpleasant odours, especially the darker red or brown coloured ones. The compact, mat-forming stems are very similar to those of the related genus '' Duvalia'', and the two are often confused when ...

Huernia
The genus ''Huernia'' (family Apocynaceae, subfamily Asclepiadoideae) consists of perennial, stem succulents from Eastern and Southern Africa and Arabia, first described as a genus in 1810.Brown, Robert. 1810. On the Asclepiadeae 11 The flowers are five-lobed, usually somewhat more funnel- or bell-shaped than in the closely related genus ''Stapelia'', and often striped vividly in contrasting colors or tones, some glossy, others matte and wrinkled depending on the species concerned. Frequently the flowers are colored a variation of red, yellow or brown. To pollinate, the flowers attract flies by emitting a scent similar to that of carrion. The genus is considered close to the genera ''Stapelia'' and ''Hoodia''. Phylogenetic studies have shown the genus to be monophyletic, and most closely related to the genus '' Tavaresia'', and to a widespread branch of stapeliads comprising the genera ''Orbea'', ''Piaranthus'' and ''Stapelia''.P.

Tridentea Choanantha
''Tridentea'' is a genus of succulent plant in the family Apocynaceae, endemic to southern Africa. Name and history ''Tridentea'' was first described as a genus in 1812, and its name refers to the three "teeth" on each interstaminal segment of its flower (''"tri-"'' = three; ''"dentis"'' = teeth). It was subsequently split, and the genus ''Tromotriche'' was created for the ten species which were separated. Description ;Vegetative features ''Tridentea'' stems are typically smooth, soft and appear as roughly four-edged in cross section. The four angles are marked by rows of low tubercle mounds. In young growth, each tubercle bears a small splayed leaf-remnant. These fall off with time though. Each leaf remnant is always surrounded by several minute, fat hairs. ;Floral features ''Tridentea'' flowers are flattened, star-shaped, and usually brightly coloured. The most common colouring is a mixed mottling of greenish-yellow with purple. Their inside is usually densely papillate. Flo ...
