Yeatesia Mabryi
''Yeatesia'' is a putative genus of flowering plants in the family Acanthaceae, found in northeast Mexico and the southeast United States, from Texas to Florida. Each of its species grows in very different habitats; ''Yeatesia mabryi'' is found in hardwood forests in Mexico, ''Y. platystegia'' prefers semiarid scrublands in Mexico and Texas, and ''Y. viridiflora'' grows in wetter forest bluffs and along water courses in US Gulf Coast states. Molecular evidence shows that ''Yeatesia'' is not a monophyletic genus. Species Currently accepted species include: *'' Yeatesia mabryi'' Hilsenb. *'' Yeatesia platystegia'' (Torr.)

John Kunkel Small
John Kunkel Small (January 31, 1869 – January 20, 1938) was an American botanist. Born on January 31, 1869, in Harrisburg Pennsylvania, Kunkel studied botany at Franklin & Marshall College and Columbia University. He was the first Curator of Museums at The New York Botanical Garden, a post in which he served from 1898 until 1906. From 1906 to 1934 he was Head Curator and then from 1934 until his death he was Chief Research Associate and Curator. Small's doctoral dissertation, published as '' Flora of the Southeastern United States'' in 1903, anrevised in 1913and 1933, remains the best floristic reference for much of the South. Assisted by the patronage of Charles Deering, Small traveled extensively around Florida recording plants and land formations. Small was an early botanist explorer of Florida, documenting many things for the first time, although the flora and fauna were well known to the local Seminole Indians. His first trip to the region was in 1901. Over the next 37 y ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Acanthaceae
Acanthaceae is a family (the acanthus family) of dicotyledonous flowering plants containing almost 250 genera and about 2500 species. Most are tropical herbs, shrubs, or twining vines; some are epiphytes. Only a few species are distributed in temperate regions. The four main centres of distribution are Indonesia and Malaysia, Africa, Brazil, and Central America. Representatives of the family can be found in nearly every habitat, including dense or open forests, scrublands, wet fields and valleys, sea coast and marine areas, swamps, and mangrove forests. Description Plants in this family have simple, opposite, decussated leaves with entire (or sometimes toothed, lobed, or spiny) margins, and without stipules. The leaves may contain cystoliths, calcium carbonate concretions, seen as streaks on the surface. The flowers are perfect, zygomorphic to nearly actinomorphic, and arranged in an inflorescence that is either a spike, raceme, or cyme. Typically, a colorful bract subtends ea ...

Yeatesia Mabryi
''Yeatesia'' is a putative genus of flowering plants in the family Acanthaceae, found in northeast Mexico and the southeast United States, from Texas to Florida. Each of its species grows in very different habitats; ''Yeatesia mabryi'' is found in hardwood forests in Mexico, ''Y. platystegia'' prefers semiarid scrublands in Mexico and Texas, and ''Y. viridiflora'' grows in wetter forest bluffs and along water courses in US Gulf Coast states. Molecular evidence shows that ''Yeatesia'' is not a monophyletic genus. Species Currently accepted species include: *'' Yeatesia mabryi'' Hilsenb. *'' Yeatesia platystegia'' (Torr.)
