Zeltnera

	Zeltnera ''Zeltnera'' is a genus of flowering plants in the Gentianaceae, gentian family. It was erected in 2004 when the genus ''Centaurium'' (the centauries) was split. Genetic analysis revealed that ''Centaurium'' was Polyphyly, polyphyletic, made up of plants that could be grouped into four clades. Each became a genus. ''Centaurium'' remained, but it is now limited to the Eurasian species. The Mexico, Mexican species now belong to genus ''Gyrandra'', and the Mediterranean and Australian plants are in genus ''Schenkia''. The new name ''Zeltnera'' was given to this genus, which contains most of the North American centauries. There are about 25 species.Mansion, G.

	Centaurium ''Centaurium'' (centaury) is a genus of 20 species in the gentian family (Gentianaceae), tribe Chironieae, subtribe Chironiinae. The genus was named after the centaur Chiron, famed in Greek mythology for his skill in medicinal herbs. It is distributed across Europe and Asia. Until 2004, ''Centaurium'' was given a much wider circumscription, comprising about 50 species ranging across Europe, Asia, the Americas, Australasia, and the Pacific. However this circumscription was polyphyletic, so in 2004 the genus was split into four, being ''Centaurium'' sensu stricto, ''Zeltnera'', '' Gyrandra'' , and '' Schenkia''. Species According to Plants of the World Online there are 24 species of ''Centaurium''.

	Zeltnera Exaltata ''Zeltnera exaltata'' is a species of flowering plant in the gentian family known by the common names desert centaury and tall centaury. It is native to much of western North America from British Columbia to Arizona to Nebraska, where it grows in moist areas, generally with alkaline soils. This is an annual herb which is variable in appearance, especially in different habitat types. It grows up to about 35 centimeters in height, its slender stem with widely spaced pairs of oppositely arranged, pointed leaves 1 to 3 centimeters long. The inflorescence is an open array of flowers, each on a pedicel which may be several centimeters in length. The flower has generally four or five white or pink lobes, each somewhat rolled to appear narrow in shape. Taxonomy ''Zeltnera exaltata'' was scientifically described by August Grisebach in 1838 with the name ''Cicendia exaltata''. The botanist Charles Vancouver Piper, working from information provided by William Franklin Wight, published a pap ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Zeltnera Davyi ''Zeltnera davyi'' is a species of flowering plant in the gentian family known by the common name Davy's centaury. Distribution The plant is nearly endemic to California, where it is known from the coastline around the San Francisco Bay Area and areas north, as well as from Santa Cruz Island, one of the Channel Islands. It is also found in the northern Mexican state of Baja California to some extent. It grows in moist coastal sage scrub habitats on bluffs and dunes, and in coastal woodlands. Description ''Zeltnera davyi'' is an annual herb not exceeding about 25 centimeters in height, with oval leaves under 2 centimeters long. The inflorescence is a small, open array of flowers, some on very short pedicels. Each flower has generally five overlapping corolla lobes, each only a few millimeters in length, usually pink or partially pink in color.

	Zeltnera Calycosa ''Zeltnera calycosa'' is a species of flowering plant in the gentian family known by the common name Arizona centaury. It is native to northern Mexico and the southwestern United States, where it grows in moist places in otherwise dry habitat, such as riverbanks. This is an erect biennial herb growing up to half a meter tall. The widely lance-shaped leaves appear in a basal rosette and along the slender stem, each up to 7 centimeters long. The inflorescence is an open array of flowers on short pedicels In botany, a pedicel is a stem that attaches a single flower to the inflorescence In botany, an inflorescence is a group or cluster of flowers arranged on a plant's Plant stem, stem that is composed of a main branch or a system of branch ....
