Cryptocoryne dewitii is a plant species belonging to the Araceae genus Cryptocoryne . It was first described in 1977 from dried herbarium material and named in honor of the Dutch botanist Hendrik de Wit. [1] [2] [3]
The Araceae are a family of monocotyledonous flowering plants in which flowers are borne on a type of inflorescence called a spadix. The spadix is usually accompanied by, and sometimes partially enclosed in, a spathe or leaf-like bract. Also known as the arum family, members are often colloquially known as aroids. This family of 140 genera and about 3750 known species is most diverse in the New World tropics, although also distributed in the Old World tropics and northern temperate regions.
Cryptocoryne is a genus of aquatic plants from the family Araceae. The genus is naturally distributed in tropical regions of India, Southeast Asia and New Guinea.
Cryptocoryne beckettii, also known as Beckett's water trumpet, is a plant species belonging to the Araceae genus Cryptocoryne.
Cryptocoryne affinis is a plant species belonging to the Araceae genus Cryptocoryne.
Cryptocoryne undulata, also known as undulate cryptocoryne, is a plant species belonging to the Araceae genus Cryptocoryne.
Cryptocoryne × willisii is a plant in the family Araceae.
Cryptocoryne aponogetifolia is a species belonging to the Araceae genus Cryptocoryne.
Cryptocoryne auriculata is a plant species belonging to the Araceae genus Cryptocoryne.
Aglaodorum is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. The only species that is a member of this genus is Aglaodorum griffithii.
Cyrtosperma is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. The genus went through considerable taxonomic changes in the 1980s, and as a result is now considered to be native only to Southeast Asia and some Pacific islands. Previously, the genus was believed to be widespread from Asia to Africa and South America, but the African and South American species were subsequently moved into separate genera. Cyrtosperma is now known to be most prominent in New Guinea. The genus Cyrtosperma is unique in this regards because it is the only known big genus in Araceae that is known to be found east of Wallace's line.
Lagenandra is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. It is endemic to the Indian Subcontinent. The genus is similar to Cryptocoryne, but can be distinguished from it by its involute vernation. Cryptocoryne on the other hand exhibit convolute vernation.
Hendrik (Henk) Cornelis Dirk de Wit was a Dutch systematic botanist who contributed significantly to the knowledge of the Aroid genera Cryptocoryne and Lagenandra. He grew up in the Waterland, a marshy area in the Northwest Netherlands, and had a lifelong interest in aquatic plants.
The Botanische Garten der Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg is an arboretum and botanical garden maintained by the University of Halle-Wittenberg. It is located at Am Kirchtor 3 in the city of Halle, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, and open daily in the warmer months. An admission fee is charged.
Aqua Planta is a German magazine covering aquatic plants and plants cultivated in aquariums. It is the official magazine of the "Arbeitskreis Wasserpflanzen" of the "Verband Deutscher Vereine für Aquarien- und Terrarienkunde". The magazine is published quarterly. Although it is written mostly for and by aquarium plant enthusiasts, professional botanists have occasionally used it to publish their results, including occasional descriptions of newly discovered species. The journal is published in German, with occasional English summaries.
Cryptocoryne mekongensis is a species belonging to the Araceae genus Cryptocoryne that was described in 2010.
Cryptocoryne cruddasiana is a plant species belonging to the Araceae genus Cryptocoryne.
Cryptocoryne spiralis is a plant species belonging to the Araceae genus Cryptocoryne.
Cryptocoryne usteriana is a species of aquatic herb in the family Araceae endemic to the Philippines. It was named after the German botanist Alfred Usteri who discovered the plant in the island-province of Guimaras in 1902. The species can also be found in the mainland Panay, in tributaries of lowland bedrock river with not too rapidly flowing water and seasonal flood pools. During the summer, its natural habitat dries up and plants undergo complete meltdown. The following monsoon rain and inundation triggers the remaining rootstock or rhizome to regrow quickly and send blooms underwater. Due to overcollection for the aquarium trade, the local government categorized it as threatened species.
Cryptocoryne albida is a plant species described by Richard Neville Parker. Cryptocoryne albida is part of the genus Cryptocoryne and the family Araceae. The IUCN categorizes the species globally as least concern. No subspecies are listed.
Cryptocoryne alba belongs to the genus Cryptocoryne in the family Araceae
