Tidestromia Carnosa
''Tidestromia'' is a genus with about six or seven species of annual or subshrub perennial plants native to desert and semi-arid regions of the western United States, Mexico and tropical America in the family Amaranthaceae. A common name of some species is honeysweet. The stems are reddish and contrast conspicuously with the silvery leaves. This genus is named for the botanist Ivar Tidestrom. Species include:''Tidestomia''. USDA PLANTS Profile. * '' Tidestromia carnosa'' - fleshy honeysweet * '' Tidestromia gemmata'' - TransPecos honeysweet * '' |
Tidestromia Lanuginosa
''Tidestromia lanuginosa'', commonly known as ''woolly tidestromia'', ''woolly honeysweet'', ''honeysweet'', or ''honeymat'' in English and as , , or in Spanish, is a species of plant in the family Amaranthaceae. It is a low growing annual found in the United States, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic. Distribution and habitat ''T. lanuginosa'' is native to the western and central United States (including the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and Utah), northern Mexico (including the states of Baja California, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, Nuevo León, San Luis Potosí, Sinaloa, Sonora, Tamaulipas, Zacatecas), and the Dominican Republic. It occurs in a wide range of habitats, including riparian forests, pinyon–juniper woodland, desert scrub, grasslands, coastal dunes, beaches, roadsides, and fields. Description It is an annual herb producing a sprawling red, yellow, or greenish stem up to 50 centime ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...

Family (biology)
Family ( la, familia, plural ') is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". What belongs to a family—or if a described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists. There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, but in plants, they can be characterized on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species. Taxonomists often take different positions about descriptions, and there may be no broad consensus across the scientific community for some time. The publishing of new data and opini ...

Amaranthaceae
Amaranthaceae is a family of flowering plants commonly known as the amaranth family, in reference to its type genus ''Amaranthus''. It includes the former goosefoot family Chenopodiaceae and contains about 165 genera and 2,040 species, making it the most species-rich lineage within its parent order, Caryophyllales. Description Vegetative characters Most species in the Amaranthaceae are annual or perennial herbs or subshrubs; others are shrubs; very few species are vines or trees. Some species are succulent. Many species have stems with thickened nodes. The wood of the perennial stem has a typical "anomalous" secondary growth; only in subfamily Polycnemoideae is secondary growth normal. The leaves are simple and mostly alternate, sometimes opposite. They never possess stipules. They are flat or terete, and their shape is extremely variable, with entire or toothed margins. In some species, the leaves are reduced to minute scales. In most cases, neither basal nor terminal aggrega ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ivar Tidestrom
Ivar Frederick Tidestrom (November13, 1864August2, 1956) was a Swedish-American botanist. He is best known for his volumes on the flora of the Southwestern United States, American Southwest. Early life Tidestrom was born on his father's estate "Lanna" in Hidinge parish in Närke, near modern Vintrosa, the third of five children of Constantin Tideström (1830-1893) and his wife Brita Ulrika Wallmo (1835-1921). His father operated a lime kiln and a stone quarry on the property. Tidestrom's early schooling was in nearby Örebro. In 1880 or 1881 he ran away to America, landing in New York where his luggage was stolen. Tidestrom enlisted in the 8th Cavalry Regiment (United States), United States 8th Cavalry, serving until a hip injury forced him out in 1884, and then again from 1887 to 1891 in the 4th Cavalry Regiment (United States), United States 4th Cavalry. Career in science In 1891 Tidestrom went to the University of California, Berkeley intending to study engineering, but after b ...

Tidestromia Gemmata
''Tidestromia suffruticosa'', the shrubby honeysweet, is a perennial plant in the family Amaranthaceae of the southwestern United States and northeastern Mexican deserts. It has one of the highest rates of photosynthesis ever recorded. It flowers from April to December. It can survive very high temperatures, growing successfully in extreme environments such as Death Valley, and the genetic basis for this is being studied with a view to making hardier crop plants to better cope with climate change In common usage, climate change describes global warming—the ongoing increase in global average temperature—and its effects on Earth's climate system. Climate change in a broader sense also includes previous long-term changes to E .... Subtaxa The following varieties are accepted: *''Tidestromia suffruticosa'' var.
