Wallflower Cabbage
''Coincya monensis'' subsp. ''recurvata'', the star mustard or wallflower cabbage, is a subspecies of '' Coincya monensis''. It is found in eight U.S. states. It may have been introduced to the U.S. as the Isle of Man cabbage and subsequently evolved through the founder effect In population genetics, the founder effect is the loss of genetic variation that occurs when a new population is established by a very small number of individuals from a larger population.

Isle Of Man Cabbage
''Coincya monensis'' subsp. ''monensis'', the Isle of Man cabbage, is a species of plant in the family Brassicaceae that is found in coastal habitats on the west of the island of Great Britain (from north Devon to Kintyre) and around the coasts of the Isle of Man. Conservation status The species is thought to naturally occur in only 22 localities and is endemism, endemic to the British Isles. It is listed as a nationally scarce British species and is in serious risk of extinction. The species was once abundant on the Isle of Man, hence its name, however, for an unknown reason its population has collapsed to only a few individual and isolated plants. On the Isle of Man, the Manx Wildlife Trust began propagating the species in their greenhouses in 2006. It is hoped that this will halt the decline of the species and prevent its extinction. In 2022 it was added to the Isle of Man’s red-list of plants of conservation concern. Habitat The plant prefers light (sandy), medium (loamy) a ...

Founder Effect
In population genetics, the founder effect is the loss of genetic variation that occurs when a new population is established by a very small number of individuals from a larger population. It was first fully outlined by Ernst Mayr in 1942, using existing theoretical work by those such as Sewall Wright. As a result of the loss of genetic variation, the new population may be distinctively different, both genotypically and phenotypically, from the parent population from which it is derived. In extreme cases, the founder effect is thought to lead to the speciation and subsequent evolution of new species. In the figure shown, the original population has nearly equal numbers of blue and red individuals. The three smaller founder populations show that one or the other color may predominate (founder effect), due to random sampling of the original population. A population bottleneck may also cause a founder effect, though it is not strictly a new population. The founder effect occurs wh ...

Plant Subspecies
Plants are predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. Historically, the plant kingdom encompassed all living things that were not animals, and included algae and fungi; however, all current definitions of Plantae exclude the fungi and some algae, as well as the prokaryotes (the archaea and bacteria). By one definition, plants form the clade Viridiplantae (Latin name for "green plants") which is sister of the Glaucophyta, and consists of the green algae and Embryophyta (land plants). The latter includes the flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, ferns and their allies, hornworts, liverworts, and mosses. Most plants are multicellular organisms. Green plants obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis by primary chloroplasts that are derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria. Their chloroplasts contain chlorophylls a and b, which gives them their green color. Some plants are parasitic or mycotrophic and have lost the ability ...

Coincya
''Coincya'' is a genus of flowering plant that belongs to the family Brassicaceae. Three species of the plant are endemic to the British Isles, these being ''Coincya wrightii'' (Lundy cabbage), '' Coincya cheiranthos'' (nokkasinapit) and '' Coincya monensis'', which has two subspecies, ''C. monensis'' subsp. ''monensis'' (Isle of Man cabbage) and ''C. monensis'' subsp. ''recurvata'' (star mustard). Another four species are endangered and endemic to the south-central Iberian peninsula. The name derives from the French botanist Auguste-Henri de Coincy. The star mustard, a plant introduced to eight U.S. states is the same species as the Isle of Man cabbage but a different subspecies. It may have been introduced to the U.S. as the Isle of Man cabbage and subsequently evolved through the founder effect and geographic isolation into a new subspecies. Species * '' Coincya cheiranthos'' * ''Coincya cintrana'' * '' Coincya johnstonii'' * '' Coincya monensis'' ** ''C. monensis'' sub ...
