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. Also known as the arum family, members are often colloquially known as aroids. This family of 114 genera and about 3,750 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. The English common name "water trumpet" refers to their inflorescence, a spadix enclosed by a spathe, which resembles a trumpet. The genus is commonly referred to as to as Crypts by aquarium hobbyists.
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 wendtii, the Wendt's water trumpet, is a species of herbaceous plant and popular aquarium plant which is native to Sri Lanka. It was described by Dutch botanist Hendrik de Wit in honour of aquarium hobbyist and writer Albert Wendt.
Cryptocoryne aponogetifolia is a species belonging to the Araceae genus Cryptocoryne.
Cryptocoryne auriculata is a plant species belonging to the Araceae genus Cryptocoryne.
Ambrosina is a genus in the family Araceae that consists of only one species, Ambrosina bassii, and the only genus in the tribe Ambrosineae. This species is the smallest terrestrial aroid in the Mediterranean, growing only to 8 cm tall. It is usually found growing in woodlands on north faces of hillsides and in humus soil that is covering limestone. It is distributed in Sardinia, Corsica, Sicily, southern mainland Italy, Tunisia, and Algeria.
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.
Aroideae is a subfamily of flowering plants in the family Araceae. It is the largest subfamily in Araceae and consists of about 72 different genera, and 2,300 species. Many Aroideae have spiny pollen grains without a sporopollenin outer exine layer and lacking an aperture.
Lagenandra is a genus of aquatic flowering plants in the aroid family, Araceae, endemic to the Indian Subcontinent. The genus has gradually become more known through the aquascaping and aquarium hobby, in which several related Araceae genera are already highly prized and grown on a large scale ; Lagenandra, however, is still relatively rare in cultivation or private collections.
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.
Lagenandra dewitii is an aquatic to semi-aquatic flowering plant species belonging to the aroid genus Lagenandra. It was first described in 1986, from living plants and dried herbarium material, and named in honour of Dutch botanist Hendrik de Wit.
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 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 is a flowering plant belonging to the genus Cryptocoryne in the family Araceae.
