Acaena pinnatifida, the Argentinian biddy-biddy, is a species of perennial plant.
Acaena pinnatifida is often discussed as comprising several varieties. These include:
Wakame(Undaria pinnatifida) is a species of kelp native to cold, temperate coasts of the northwest Pacific Ocean. As an edible seaweed, it has a subtle sweet, but distinctive and strong flavour and texture. It is most often served in soups and salads.
Acaena is a genus of about 60 species of mainly evergreen, creeping herbaceous perennial plants and subshrubs in the family Rosaceae, native mainly to the Southern Hemisphere, notably New Zealand, Australia and South America, but with a few species extending into the Northern Hemisphere, north to Hawaii and California.
There are a number of Australian species that have become invasive when introduced into outside Australia or outside Oceania.
Biddy Mason was an African-American nurse and a Californian real estate entrepreneur and philanthropist. She was one of the founders of the First African Methodist Episcopal Church in Los Angeles, California. Enslaved upon birth, she developed a variety of skills and developed knowledge of medicine, child care, and livestock care. A California court granted her and her daughters freedom in 1856.
Piripiri may refer to the following:
Biddy or Biddie is a given name which may refer to:
Acaena novae-zelandiae, commonly known as red bidibid, bidgee widgee, buzzy and piri-piri bur, is a small herbaceous, prostrate perennial, native to New Zealand, Australia and New Guinea, of the family Rosaceae.
Acaena dumicola is a species of perennial plant found only in scrubby and rocky habitats at altitudes of between 300 and 1200 m in the South Island of New Zealand.
Acaena juvenca is a species of perennial plant found in scrubland and forest margins up to an altitude of 1200 m on the eastern side of both North and South Islands, New Zealand.
Acaena emittens is a species of perennial plant limited to scrubland and forest clearings at an altitude of 450–1500 m in central North Island, New Zealand.
Acaena rorida is a species of mat-forming perennial plant known only from grassy uplands on the Mangaohane Plateau in the northwestern part of the Ruahine Range in the North Island of New Zealand.
Acaena magellanica, commonly called buzzy burr or greater burnet, is a species of flowering plant whose range includes the southern tip of South America and many subantarctic islands.
Engelmannia pinnatifida is a North American species of flowering plants in the daisy family. It is native to the southern United States and northern Mexico, the States of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, Texas, New Mexico
Acaena echinata, commonly known as sheep's burr, is a species of perennial herb, in the Rosaceae family, native to Australia. It grows to a height of 25–40 cm and has shiny, green fern-like leaves 60–150 mm long which are hairy on the underside. Its tiny pale green flowers form a spike and have purple stamens. The burrs it produces are sharply barbed.
Some species endemic to New Zealand are causing problems in other countries, similar to the way introduced species in New Zealand cause problems for agriculture and indigenous biodiversity.
Gaillardia pinnatifida, the Hopi blanketflower or red dome blanketflower, is a perennial plant in the sunflower family (Asteraceae) found in northern Mexico and in the south-central and southwestern United States.
Acaena caesiiglauca is a species of Acaena. Aceana caesiiglauca grow to a height of 2–4 inches and a spread of about 2 ft. The flowers consist of reddish burrs and its foliage is described as a silky bluish grey.
Acaena microphylla, the bidibid or piripiri, and outside New Zealand, New Zealand-bur, is a small herbaceous, prostrate perennial flowering plant in the rose family Rosaceae, native to both the North and South Islands of New Zealand. There are two varieties:
Acaena alpina is a perennial shrub of the genus Acaena known for its hardiness and durability. A. alpina is found throughout central Chile and Argentina. It can withstand a wide range of climates, including that of the Andes, where it is commonly found. A.alpina can withstand both hot and cold temperatures as well as wet and dry seasons, though it preferentially grows at high altitudes. A. alpina was originally typified by Eduard Friedrich Poeppig and Wilhelm Gerhard Walpers in 1843.
Goodenia pinnatifida, commonly known as cut-leaf goodenia, scrambled eggs or mother ducks, is a species of flowering plant in the family Goodeniaceae and endemic to Australia. It is a low-lying to ascending perennial herb with toothed to pinnatisect leaves, racemes of yellow flowers and more or less spherical fruit.
