Adenoa cubensis is the only member of Adenoa, a monotypic genus of flowering plant. [1] [2]
A. cubensis is a 1-3 meter tall shrub with leaves described as oblanceolate or obovate, 4-8 cm long and 1-2.2 cm wide. [3] Seeds are described as pyriform. [3] A. cubensis lacks glandular hairs and has vegetative colleters, [4]
A. cubensis has white homostylous flowers (3 cm) with protruding styles, free penduncles (1.5 cm), and short pedicels (0.5 cm). [4] [5] The stamen of A. cubensis are free, similar to those found in Piriqueta. [6] The anthers are obtuse. Overall, the flowers of A. cubensis are considered more complex than those found in Erblichia but simpler than those found in Turnera and Piriqueta. [4] In addition to the differences in flower complexity, there are differences between A. cubensis' pollen exine and the exine of other members of Turneroideae. [4]
A. cubensis is a diploid species (2n=14). Its chromosomes are similar in size to that of Turnera but larger than that of Piriqueta. [4]
Originally, classified as Piriqueta cubensis by Britton & P.Wilson in 1915 [3] , it would later be reclassified as Adenoa by MM Arbo in 1977. [7] [8]
A. cubensis is native to southeast Cuba. [1] It can be found in La Mensura-Piloto national park, Pico Cristal national park, Alejandro de Humboldt national park, and Loma Miraflores managed floristic reserve. [9]
Herbarium specimen have been collected between Rio Yamaniguey and Camp Toa, Oriente Province, and Sierra de Nipe [3]
As of 2023, A. cubensis is classified as vulnerable. [9] There are at least 10 localities, but the number of mature individuals and area occupied by the localities is decreasing. This decrease is likely the result of mining, fires, logging, forest management and urbanization. [9] The species is found in several national parks and floristic reserves. [9]
Turnera is a genus of flowering plants in the passionflower family, Passifloraceae. It contains more than 100 species native to tropical and subtropical America. The name honours English naturalist William Turner (1508–1568). It was previously placed in the family Turneraceae.
Symphyotrichum lateriflorum is a species of flowering plant in the aster family (Asteraceae). Commonly known as calico aster, starved aster, and white woodland aster, it is native to eastern and central North America. It is a perennial and herbaceous plant that may reach heights up to 120 centimeters and widths up to 30 centimeters.
Dudleya caespitosa is a succulent plant known by several common names, including sea lettuce, sand lettuce, and coast dudleya. It is endemic to California, where it grows along the coastline in the southern half of the state. Taxonomically, this species is a highly variable complex of polymorphic and polyploid plants, closely related to numerous neighboring species such as Dudleya farinosa, Dudleya greenei and Dudleya palmeri. It is delimited from neighboring species on an arbitrary basis of distribution and chromosome number, and may not be immediately separable from the other species it approaches.
Turnera subulata is a species of flowering subshrub in the passionflower family known by the common names white buttercup, sulphur alder, politician's flower, dark-eyed turnera, and white alder. Despite its names, it is not related to the buttercups or the alders. It is native to Central and South America, from Panama south to Brazil. It is well known in many other places as an introduced species, such as Malaysia, Indonesia, several other Pacific Islands, the Caribbean, and Florida in the United States.
Dudleya ingens is a species of perennial succulent plant in the family Crassulaceae commonly known as the rock liveforever or Baja liveforever. A relatively large member of the genus Dudleya, this species has long green succulent leaves, and in April to June is characterized by pale yellow to white pink-tinged flowers topping tall, reddish inflorescences. It has a stem clothed densely with old, leathery leaves, and the inflorescence may be nodding, with the floral branches bearing the flowers tending to unfurl like the fronds of a fern. It is similar in appearance to Dudleya brittonii, but differs in range and chromosome number. This species is endemic to the state of Baja California in Mexico, being found from Santo Tomás to the southern coast of the state.
Afroqueta capensis is the only member of Afroqueta, a monotypic genus of flowering plant. It is colloquially called Haarbossie.
Piriqueta is a genus of flowering plants belonging to Turneroideae (Passifloraceae).
Erblichia odorata is the sole member of the monotypic genus Erblichia. It is colloquially known as Butterfly tree or Flor de Mayo.
Hyalocalyx setifer is the sole member of the monotypic genus Hyalocalyx.
Mathurina penduliflora is the sole member of the monotypic genus Mathurina, of flowering plants.
Loewia glutinosa is a species of shrub from East Kenya belonging to the family Passifloraceae., Ethopia, and Somalia.
Oxossia is a genus of flowering plants in the subfamily Turneroideae (Passifloraceae) consisting of 15 species. This genus was recently defined in 2019 after a phylogenetic analysis of Turnera justified the creation of the genus.
Loewia tanaensis is a subshrub with yellow/orange flowers. It is native to the dry tropics of Kenya. It is believed to be distylous.
Stapfiella lucida is a shrub native to Burundi, Congo, Rwana, and Zaïre. It reaches heights of 1.5 – 3 meters high, shiny 4–5 cm leaves that cluster at the top of branches, yellowish white homostylous flowers, and chestnut colored seeds.
Stapfiella usambarica is a shrub native to the Usambara mountains of Tanzania, Africa. It can be found at altitudes of 1900 - 2230 m. As of 2012, the conservation status of S. usambarica has not been evaluated.
Stapfiella zambesiensis is a shrub native to Zambia, Africa. It is found east of Kasama.
Oxossia hatschbachii is a species of shrub in the genus Oxossia (Passifloraceae). It is native to the Atlantic Rainforest near Espírito Santo, Brazil. O. hatchbachii has heterostylous racemose flowers, ranging in color from white to red.
Oxossia waltherioides is a subshrub in the genus Oxossia (Passifloraceae). It is native to the Amazon Rainforest of Roraima, Brazil.
Piriqueta abairana is a shrub with orange distylous flowers in the genus Piriqueta of Turneroideae (Passifloraceae). It natively grows in Chapada Diamantina between 1,000 - 1,700 m.
Nymphaea conardii is a species of waterlily native to the region spanning from Southern Mexico to tropical South America.
