Cabomba schwartzii is endemic to North Brazil [1] |
Cabomba schwartzii is a species of aquatic plant in the family Cabombaceae endemic to North Brazil. [1]
Cabomba schwartzii is an aquatic herb. [2] The length of the stems depends on the water level. [3] The stems have two vascular bundles. [2] The elliptical or orbicular, peltate, petiolate floating leaves are 1.5—3.8 cm long, and 1.0—2.5 cm wide. The adaxial leaf surface is purple. The petiole is 1—3 cm long. [4]
The yellow flowers emerge above the water surface. [4] The 2-3 sepals are 6.0–8.0 mm long, and 2.5–3.0 mm wide. The 2-3 petals are 6.5–8.0 mm long, and 2.5–3.0 mm wide. [5] The androecium consists of 2, [4] [6] 3, 4, 5, or 6 stamens. [5] [2] The gynoecium consists of 1, [2] [4] [6] or 2 carpels. [7] The seeds are 1.5–2.2 mm long, and 1–1.2 mm wide. [2]
Cabomba schwartzii Rataj was published by Karel Rataj in 1977. [4] [1] It was then treated as a synonym of Cabomba aquatica Aubl. by Marian Ørgaard in 1991. [7] [8] It was reestablished by Barbosa et al. in 2018. [5] The type specimen was collected by T. W. Schwartz in Igarapé do Aduja, Rio Itu, Rio Negro, Brazil. [4]
It occurs sympatrically with Cabomba furcata , [3] Nymphaea , Utricularia , and Mayaca . [9]
Flies and bees visit the flowers of Cabomba schwartzii. [3]
The Nymphaeales are an order of flowering plants, consisting of three families of aquatic plants, the Hydatellaceae, the Cabombaceae, and the Nymphaeaceae. It is one of the three orders of basal angiosperms, an early-diverging grade of flowering plants. At least 10 morphological characters unite the Nymphaeales. One of the traits is the absence of a vascular cambium, which is required to produce both xylem (wood) and phloem, which therefore are missing. Molecular synapomorphies are also known.
The Cabombaceae are a family of aquatic, herbaceous flowering plants. A common name for its species is water shield. The family is recognised as distinct in the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group IV system (2016). The family consists of two genera of aquatic plants, Brasenia and Cabomba, totalling six species.
Echinodorus tunicatus is a species of aquatic plants in the family Alismataceae.
Echinodorus longiscapus is a perennial, aquatic plant of the Alismataceae, native to South America. It is cultivated as a pond or aquarium plant.
Echinodorus macrophyllus is a species of aquatic plants in the Alismataceae. It is native to Brazil and Bolivia.
Cabomba is an aquatic plant genus, one of two belonging to the family Cabombaceae. It has divided submerged leaves in the shape of a fan and is much favoured by aquarists as an ornamental and oxygenating plant for fish tanks. One species, Cabomba caroliniana, is a nationally declared weed in Australia, where it has choked up waterways after escaping from aquaria.
Pachira aquatica is a tropical wetland tree in the mallow family Malvaceae, native to Central and South America where it grows in swamps. It is known by its common names Malabar chestnut, French peanut, Guiana chestnut, Provision tree, Saba nut, Monguba (Brazil), Pumpo (Guatemala) and is commercially sold under the names Money tree and Money plant. This tree is sometimes sold with a braided trunk and is commonly grown as a houseplant, although more commonly what is sold as a "Pachira aquatica" houseplant is in fact a similar species, P. glabra.
Cabomba caroliniana, commonly known as Carolina fanwort and various other names, is an aquatic perennial herbaceous plant native to North and South America. Having been a popular aquarium plant, it has been exported around the world, and has become an invasive species in Europe and Australia.
Cabomba furcata is a species of aquatic plant in the water shield family known by the common names red cabomba and forked fanwort. It is native to Central and South America and as far north as Cuba and the tip of Florida. It reaches a maximum height between 30 and 80 centimetres and is up to 8 centimetres (3.1 in) wide. It bears purple flowers.
Echinodorus grandiflorus is a plant species in the Alismataceae. It is native to Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, Venezuela and Florida.
Epidendrum denticulatum, one of the crucifix orchids, is a reed stemmed species which, at least in herbarium specimens, is frequently confused with E. secundum Jacq.
Cabomba aquatica is a popular aquarium plant that belongs to the family Cabombaceae and genus Cabomba. It is a perennial aquatic plant that lives in fresh standing water or in lakes and rivers with slight currents.
Butia yatay, the jelly palm or yatay palm, is a Butia palm native to southern Brazil, Uruguay and northern Argentina. It is known as the butiá-jataí in Portuguese in the south of Brazil, as well as simply jataí or butiá. It is sometimes cultivated as an ornamental in Europe and the United States. It is the tallest of all the species in the genus Butia. The fruit is edible with a sweet flavour.
Psittacanthus biternatus is a species of mistletoe in the family Loranthaceae, which is native to Brazil, Venezuela, and Colombia.
Barclaya longifolia is a species of perennial aquatic plant native to the region of Indo-China to Northwest Peninsular Malaysia.
Barclaya panchorensis is a species of perennial aquatic plant endemic to Peninsular Malaysia.
Barclaya kunstleri is a species of aquatic plant native to Peninsular Malaysia, and Singapore. It is disputed. By some, it is treated as synonym of Barclaya motleyi, but by others it is regarded as a separate species.
Pluricarpellatia peltata was a species of herbaceous aquatic plant, which occurred in the early Cretaceous period of Brazil.
Cabomba haynesii is a species of aquatic plant in the family Cabombaceae native to the Caribbean, Central America, and South America.
Cabomba palaeformis is a species of aquatic plant in the family Cabombaceae native to Mexico and Central America.
