Taxonomy

Cardamine dissecta was first described as Dentaria dissecta by the American botanist Melines Conklin Leavenworth in 1824. [4] The American botanist Ihsan Ali Al-Shehbaz placed Dentaria dissectaLeavenw. in genus Cardamine in 1988. [2] The name Cardamine dissecta(Leavenw.) Al-Shehbaz is widely used today. [3] [5]

Cardamine dissecta is a member of the Cardamine concatenata alliance, a monophyletic group of eastern North American species that includes Cardamine angustata , Cardamine concatenata , Cardamine diphylla , Cardamine dissecta, Cardamine incisa , and Cardamine maxima . [6] All members of the alliance were previously placed in genus DentariaTourn. ex L., which is now considered to be a synonym for CardamineL. [7]

Distribution and habitat

Cardamine dissecta is native to eastern North America. Its range extends north to Ohio and Indiana, and south to Virginia and Alabama. [6] It is known to occur in the following states: [3] [8]

Its distribution is centered in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama. [9]

Conservation

The global conservation status of Cardamine dissecta is apparently secure (G4). [1]

Trillium erectum, the red trillium, also known as wake robin, purple trillium, bethroot, or stinking benjamin, is a species of flowering plant in the family Melanthiaceae. The plant takes its common name "wake robin" by analogy with the European robin, which has a red breast heralding spring. Likewise Trillium erectum is a spring ephemeral plant whose life-cycle is synchronized with that of the forests in which it lives. It is native to the eastern United States and eastern Canada from northern Georgia to Quebec and New Brunswick.

<i>Cardamine</i> Genus of flowering plants in the cabbage family Brassicaceae

<i>Tiarella cordifolia</i> Species of flowering plant

Tiarella cordifolia, the heart-leaved foamflower, is a species of flowering plant in the family Saxifragaceae. The specific name cordifolia means "with heart-shaped leaves", a characteristic shared by all taxa of Tiarella in eastern North America. It is also referred to as Allegheny foamflower, false miterwort, and coolwort.

<i>Tiarella</i> Genus of flowering plants in the family Saxifragaceae

Tiarella, the foamflowers, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Saxifragaceae. The generic name Tiarella means "little turban", which suggests the shape of the seed capsules. Worldwide there are seven species, one each in eastern Asia and western North America, plus five species in eastern North America. As of October 2022, the taxonomy of Tiarella in eastern North America is in flux.

<i>Cardamine concatenata</i> Species of flowering plant in the cabbage family Brassicaceae

<i>Heliophila</i> Genus of flowering plants

Heliophila is a genus of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae. Members of this genus are either annuals or perennials and some are popular as ornamental plants. Endemic to southern Africa, the majority of the approximately 80 species grow in South Africa, particularly the Cape Floristic Region, while a few extend into the Namib Desert.

<i>Trillium luteum</i> Species of plant

Trillium luteum, the yellow trillium or yellow wakerobin, is a species of flowering plant in the bunchflower family Melanthiaceae. It is a member of the Trillium cuneatum complex, a closely related group of sessile-flowered trilliums.

Zuloagocardamum jujuyensis is a very rare, dwarf species of caudiciform cress-like plant in the family Brassicaceae which was first described in 2014. It is endemic to mountains in Jujuy Province in northern Argentina, where it is only known to grow on the grounds of El Aguilar mine at 3,700 meters in altitude. It is only known from a single recent collection. It is the only species in the new genus Zuloagocardamum, a monotypic genus. It is quite similar in fruit and flower to Chilocardamum and Weberbauera, but the taxonomists describing the species decided it was sufficiently distinguished by dint of its well-developed, woody caudex, and extremely reduced, leafless branches bearing small rosulate tufts of linear leaves, and sticky, mucilaginous seeds.

Chilocardamum is a small genus of four herbaceous cress-like species of plants in the family Brassicaceae, only found growing in Patagonia, southern Argentina.

<i>Cardamine maxima</i> Species of flowering plant

Cardamine maxima is a species of flowering plant in the mustard family Brassicaceae.
