Sanchezia

	Sanchezia ''Sanchezia'' is a genus of the plant family (biology), family Acanthaceae. It contains 45 species. Members of this genus are shrubs, rarely small trees or herbs, occurring in the lowlands of tropical South America, South and Central America. A close relative is ''Suessenguthia'', which looks quite similar. Because they have large, colorful bracts and flowers, and sometimes even colorful leaves, several species are cultivated as ornamental plants throughout the tropics and in botanical gardens of temperate areas. Examples for species well known from cultivation are ''Sanchezia nobilis, S. nobilis'', ''Sanchezia parvibracteata, S. parvibracteata'' and ''Sanchezia speciosa, S. speciosa''. In some areas, ornamental species have become problematic as invasive weeds. On the other hand, ''Sanchezia lampra, S. lampra'' from Ecuador is almost extinct. ''Sanchezia'' is named for José Sánchez (botanist), José Sánchez, a nineteenth-century professor of botany at Cádiz, Spain.Clay '' ...

	Sanchezia Lampra ''Sanchezia lampra'' is a species of plant in the family Acanthaceae. It is endemic to Ecuador. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss or habitat reduction) occurs when a natural habitat is no longer able to support its native species. The organisms once living there have either moved elsewhere, or are dead, leading to a decrease ....

picture info	Acanthaceae Acanthaceae () is a Family (biology), family (the acanthus family) of dicotyledonous flowering plants containing almost 250 genera and about 2500 species. Most are Tropics, tropical Herbaceous plant, 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 (ecology), 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 leaf, 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, Floral symmetry, zygomorphic to nearly Floral symmetry, actinomorphic, and arran ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Suessenguthia ''Suessenguthia'' is a genus of the Acanthaceae plant family comprising eight species of shrubs with showy, tubular flowers arranged in few-flowered heads. It occurs in the lowlands and Andean foothills of southern Peru, Bolivia, and the Brazilian state of Acre, often growing in small groups along rivers. ''Suessenguthia'' is similar to and closely related to the better known and larger genus ''Sanchezia''. ''Suessenguthia multisetosa'' from eastern Bolivia is one of the more known species as it is cultivated for ornamental use. Species Eight species are accepted: ''Suessenguthia barthleniana'' ''Suessenguthia cuscoensis'' ''Suessenguthia koessleri'' ''Suessenguthia multisetosa'' ''Suessenguthia trochilophila'' ''Suessenguthia vargasii'' ''Suessenguthia wallnoeferi'' ''Suessenguthia wenzelii ''Suessenguthia'' is a genus of the Acanthaceae plant family comprising eight species of shrubs with showy, tubular flowers arranged in few-flowered heads.
