Seemannia Purpurascens
''Seemannia'' is a New World genus in the flowering plant family Gesneriaceae. There are four species in the genus, primarily found in the Andean regions of South America. The name honors the German botanist Berthold Carl Seemann. Taxonomic history ''Seemannia'' was created in 1855 by Regel for the species ''Seemannia ternifolia'' (now considered a synonym of ''S. sylvatica''). In 1976 ''Seemannia'' was synonymized under the genus '' Gloxinia'' by gesneriad specialist Hans Wiehler but has more recently been revived following phylogenetic and morphological research on relationships of ''Gloxinia'' and related genera, which suggested that Wiehler's generic concept of ''Gloxinia'' was overly broad and polyphyletic. Although now recognized as a separate genus, ''Seemannia'' is closely related to ''Gloxinia'' and hybrids between the two genera are fertile although the two genera are very distinct morphologically. Although all of the species occur in the Andes, '' Seemannia ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gesnerioideae
The Gesnerioideae are a subfamily of plants in the family Gesneriaceae: based on the type genus ''Gesneria''. Although genera typically originate in the New World, some species have become widely distributed as ornamental plants. Description Gesnerioideae is one of two main subfamilies in the Gesneriaceae, the other being Didymocarpoideae. (The third subfamily, Sanangoideae, contains only the genus ''Sanango''.) Gesnerioideae seedlings have normal cotyledons of the same size and shape (isocotylous), whereas the cotyledons of Didymocarpoideae are usually, but not always, eventually different in size and shape (anisocotylous). Gesnerioideae flowers usually have four fertile stamens, rarely two or five. In other respects, Gesnerioideae species are very variable. The ovary may be superior, semi-inferior or inferior, and the fruit takes various forms. Taxonomy The original use of the name for the subfamily is attributed to Gilbert Thomas Burnett in 1835. Burnett divided his circumscri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Paraguay
Paraguay (; ), officially the Republic of Paraguay ( es, República del Paraguay, links=no; gn, Tavakuairetã Paraguái, links=si), is a landlocked country in South America.
