Anaphyllopsis
''Anaphyllopsis'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae, native to northern South America. The genus was created in 1988 by Hay in order to account for the differences of '' Cyrtosperma americanum'' from other '' Cyrtosperma'' species. The decision was to create a genus named ''Anaphyllopsis'' and rename ''Cyrtosperma americanum'' as '' Anaphyllopsis americanum''. Two other species from the Amazon were subsequently added, '' Anaphyllopsis pinnata'' and '' Anaphyllopsis cururuana''. The leaves of ''Anaphyllopsis'' are characteristic of being pinnate. ''Anaphyllopsis'' is quite similar in appearance to the genus '' Anaphyllum''.Hay, A. (1988). ''Cyrtosperma (Araceae) and its Old World allies''.

Pinnate
Pinnation (also called pennation) is the arrangement of feather-like or multi-divided features arising from both sides of a common axis. Pinnation occurs in biological morphology, in crystals, such as some forms of ice or metal crystals, and in patterns of erosion or stream beds. The term derives from the Latin word ''pinna'' meaning "feather", "wing", or " fin". A similar concept is "pectination," which is a comb-like arrangement of parts (arising from one side of an axis only). Pinnation is commonly referred to in contrast to "palmation," in which the parts or structures radiate out from a common point. The terms "pinnation" and "pennation" are cognate, and although they are sometimes used distinctly, there is no consistent difference in the meaning or usage of the two words.Jackson, Benjamin, Daydon; A Glossary of Botanic Terms with their Derivation and Accent; Published by Gerald Duckworth & Co. London, 4th ed 1928 Plants Botanically, pinnation is an arrangement o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
