Boopis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Calyceraceae, native to Chile, Argentina and Brazil. [2] The taxon is believed to be highly polyphyletic. [3]
Currently accepted species include: [2]
Boraginaceae, the borage or forget-me-notfamily, includes about 2,000 species of shrubs, trees and herbs in 146 genera with a worldwide distribution.
The Portulacaceae are a family of flowering plants, comprising 115 species in a single genus Portulaca. Formerly some 20 genera with about 500 species, were placed there, but it is now restricted to encompass only one genus, the other genera being placed elsewhere. The family has been recognised by most taxonomists, and is also known as the purslane family. It has a cosmopolitan distribution, with the highest diversity in semiarid regions of the Southern Hemisphere in Africa, Australia, and South America, but with a few species also extending north into Arctic regions. The family is very similar to the Caryophyllaceae, differing in the calyx, which has only two sepals.
Azorella is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae, native to South America, New Zealand, southeastern Australia, and the islands of the Southern Ocean.
Colliguaja is a plant genus of the family Euphorbiaceae first described as a genus in 1782. It is native to South America.
Calyceraceae is a plant family in the order Asterales. The natural distribution of the about sixty species belonging to this family is restricted to the southern half of South America. The species of the family resemble both the family Asteraceae and the Dipsacaceae.
The Mutisioideae are a subfamily in the plant family Asteraceae that includes about 630 species assigned to 44 different genera. This subfamily is mainly native in South America, except for Adenocaulon, Chaptalia, Gerbera, Trichocline, which have species in all continents other than Europe and Antarctica. Common characters are the deeply incised corollas of the disc florets, with five lobes, sometimes merged in two lips, flower heads with overlapping involucral bracts, anthers with tails and pointy tips, the styles usually stick far out of the florets and are essentially hairless. Most species are herbs, but some are vines, shrubs, or small trees.
Nastanthus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Calyceraceae. It has been proposed to synonymize Nastanthus within the genus Gamocarpha.
Nassauvia is a genus of flowering plants in the Nassauvia tribe within the sunflower family. It is native to Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and the Falkland Islands.
Adesmia is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It was recently assigned to the informal monophyletic Adesmia clade within the Dalbergieae.
The APG III system of flowering plant classification is the third version of a modern, mostly molecular-based, system of plant taxonomy being developed by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG). Published in 2009, it was superseded in 2016 by a further revision, the APG IV system.
Acraea boopis, the rainforest acraea, is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae. It is found in KwaZulu-Natal, Swaziland, from Mozambique to Kenya and in Tanzania.
The Nassauvieae are a tribe of flowering plants in the sunflower family, Asteraceae.
The APG IV system of flowering plant classification is the fourth version of a modern, mostly molecular-based, system of plant taxonomy for flowering plants (angiosperms) being developed by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG). It was published in 2016, seven years after its predecessor the APG III system was published in 2009, and 18 years after the first APG system was published in 1998. In 2009, a linear arrangement of the system was published separately; the APG IV paper includes such an arrangement, cross-referenced to the 2009 one.
Calycera is a genus of flowering plants in family Calyceraceae endemic to South America. It has been considered to contain 14 species, or more recently nine.
Moschopsis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Calyceraceae, native to the mid-Andes of South America; Peru, Chile and Argentina. They are compact perennial succulents appearing somewhat like small heads of broccoli or artichokes.
Gamocarpha is a genus of flowering plants in the family Calyceraceae, native to the Andes of Chile and Argentina. It has been proposed to synonymize the genus Nastanthus within Gamocarpha.
Acicarpha is a genus of flowering plants in the family Calyceraceae, native to drier areas of southern South America. They prefer to grow alongside rivers or the shores of the Atlantic Ocean.
Zanthoxyloideae is a subfamily of the family Rutaceae.
