Vivianiaceae
Vivianiaceae was a family of flowering plants placed in the order Geraniales. The family name is derived from the genus '' Viviania'' Cav. It includes both the genus ''Viviania'' and ''Balbisia''. The family is now wholly incorporated into the family ''Francoaceae''. There are around 1-4 genera in Vivianiaceae ('' Araeoandra'', ''Caesarea'', '' Cissarobryon'', '' Viviania''; with all of four genera can be merged into one genus), and under the APG III system the genera from Ledocarpaceae - ''Balbisia'' (incl. '' Ledocarpon''), ''Rhynchotheca'', and '' Wendtia'' - are now included within the Vivianiaceae. A relationship with Caryophyllales Caryophyllales ( ) is a diverse and heterogeneous order of flowering plants that includes the cacti, carnations, amaranths, ice plants, beets, and many carnivorous plants. Many members are succulent, having fleshy stems or leaves. The betalai ..., was formerly suggested; but morphology (S-plastids) and chemistry are close to Geraniales. ...

Geraniales
Geraniales is a small order of flowering plants, included within the rosid subclade of eudicots. The largest family in the order is Geraniaceae with over 800 species. In addition, the order includes the smaller Francoaceae with about 40 species. Most Geraniales are herbaceous, but there are also shrubs and small trees. Flower morphology of the Geraniales is rather conserved. They are usually perfectly pentamerous and pentacyclic without fused organs besides the carpels of the superior gynoecium. The androecium is obdiplostemonous. Only a few genera are tetramerous ('' Francoa, Tetilla, Melianthus''). In some genera some stamens (''Pelargonium'') or a complete whorl of stamens are reduced (''Erodium, Melianthus''). In the genera ''Hypseocharis'' and ''Monsonia'' there are 15 instead of the usual ten stamens. Most genera bear nectariferous flowers. The nectary glands are formed by the receptacle and are localised at the bases of the antesepalous stamens. The economic importance ...

Balbisia
''Balbisia'' is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Francoaceae. It is also in the ''Vivianiaceae'' subfamily. The genus is distributed across is Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Peru in southern South America. Known species As accepted by Kew; The genus name of ''Balbisia'' is in honour of Giovanni Battista Balbis (1772–1840), an Italian botanist and politician who worked in Italy and France.. It was first described and published in Anales Ci. Nat. Vol.7 on page 62 in 1804. The genus is recognized by the United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is the principal in-house research agency of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

APG III System
The APG III system of flowering plant classification is the third version of a modern, mostly molecular-based, system of plant taxonomy being developed by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG). Published in 2009, it was superseded in 2016 by a further revision, the APG IV system. Along with the publication outlining the new system, there were two accompanying publications in the same issue of the Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society: * The first, by Chase & Reveal, was a formal phylogenetic classification of all land plants (embryophytes), compatible with the APG III classification. As the APG have chosen to eschew ranks above order, this paper was meant to fit the system into the existing Linnaean hierarchy for those that prefer such a classification. The result was that all land plants were placed in the class Equisetopsida, which was then divided into 16 subclasses and a multitude of superorders. * The second, by Haston ''et al.'', was a linear sequence of families followi ...

Caryophyllales
Caryophyllales ( ) is a diverse and heterogeneous order of flowering plants that includes the cacti, carnations, amaranths, ice plants, beets, and many carnivorous plants. Many members are succulent, having fleshy stems or leaves. The betalain pigments are unique in plants of this order and occur in all its families with the exception of Caryophyllaceae and Molluginaceae. Description The members of Caryophyllales include about 6% of eudicot species. This order is part of the core eudicots. Currently, the Caryophyllales contains 37 families, 749 genera, and 11,620 species The monophyly of the Caryophyllales has been supported by DNA sequences, cytochrome c sequence data and heritable characters such as anther wall development and vessel-elements with simple perforations. Circumscription As with all taxa, the circumscription of Caryophyllales has changed within various classification systems. All systems recognize a core of families with centrospermous ovules and seeds. Mor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Caesarea (genus)
Caesarea () ( he, קֵיסָרְיָה, ), ''Keysariya'' or ''Qesarya'', often simplified to Keisarya, and Qaysaria, is an affluent town in north-central Israel, which inherits its name and much of its territory from the ancient city of Caesarea Maritima ( el, Καισάρεια). Located midway between Tel Aviv and Haifa on the coastal plain near the city of Hadera, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hof HaCarmel Regional Council. With a population of , it is the only Israeli locality managed by a private organization, the Caesarea Development Corporation, and also one of the most populous localities not recognized as a local council. History Ancient Caesarea The modern town is named after the nearby ancient city of Caesarea Maritima, built by Herod the Great about 25–13 BCE as a major port. It served as an administrative center of the province of Judaea (later named Syria Palaestina) in the Roman Empire, and later as the capital of the Byzantine province of Palaesti ...
