Palicourea
''Palicourea'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family (biology), family Rubiaceae. It contains 694 species, which range from shrubs to small trees, and is distributed throughout the New World tropics.Taylor (2008) These plants are closely related to ''Psychotria'' and in particular its subgenus ''Heteropsychotria''. Indeed, it seems to be nothing else but a distinctively-flowered offshoot of ''Heteropsychotria''; arguably, it would thus need to be merged into ''Psychotria'' to make that genus monophyletic. On the other hand, ''Psychotria'' is extremely diverse already, so it is probably more practical to move the more distantly related species out of this genus and merge ''Heteropsychotria'' with ''Palicourea''. By a Hungarian botanist Attila Borhidi, some of the ''Psychotria'' species have been transferred into this genus. The genus is not well studied. Most species are Distyly, distylous, although a few on isolated Caribbean islands seem to have lost the trait. Flowers a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Palicourea Bracteocardia
''Palicourea bracteocardia'' is a species of shrub from the genus ''Palicourea''. Distribution ''Palicourea bracteocardia'' is described as being found in Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago. Recordings by various citizen science initiatives confirm this, but also suggest that the species can also be found in Venezuela. Taxonomy ''Palicourea bracteocardia'' is a taxon name that is a combinatio nova In biological taxonomy, a combinatio nova (abbreviated comb. nov. or n. comb.) refers to the formal renaming of an organism's scientific name when it is transferred to a different genus, reclassified within a different species, or its taxonomic ... from 2016. This means the species was described earlier but restructured into the genus '' Palicouria''. Previously, the species was thought to be part of the genera '' Cephaelis'' or '' Uragoga''.

Psychotria
''Psychotria'' is a large genus of flowering plants in the coffee family Rubiaceae, with over 1,600 species. The genus has a pantropical distribution and members of the genus are small understorey trees in tropical forests. Some species are endangered or facing extinction due to deforestation, especially species of central Africa and the Pacific.

Distyly
Distyly is a breeding system in plants that is characterized by two separate flower morphs, where individual plants produce flowers that have either long styles and short stamens (L-morph flowers) or short styles and long stamens (S-morph flowers). However, distyly can refer to any plant that shows some degree of Self-incompatibility#/Sporophytic self-incompatibility SSI, self-incompatibility and has two morphs if at least one of the following characteristics is true; there is a difference in Stigma (botany)#/Style, style length, Stamen#/Morphology and terminology, filament length, pollen size or shape, or the surface of the Stigma (botany), stigma. Specifically these plants exhibit intra-morph self-incompatibility, flowers of the same style morph are incompatible. Distylous species that do not exhibit true self-incompatibility generally show a bias towards inter-morph crosses - meaning they exhibit higher success rates when reproducing with an individual of the opposite morph.

Ecuador
Ecuador, officially the Republic of Ecuador, is a country in northwestern South America, bordered by Colombia on the north, Peru on the east and south, and the Pacific Ocean on the west.

The territory was Spanish colonization of the Americas, colonized by the Spanish Empire during the 16th century, achieving independence in 1820 as part of Gran Colombia, from which it emerged as a sovereign state in 1830. The legacy of both empires is reflected in Ecuador's ethnically diverse population, with most of its million people being mestizos, followed by large minorities of Europe ...
