Erysimum redowskii, synonym Erysimum pallasii, known as Pallas' wallflower, is a low shrub or mid shrub species from the Arctic. It has purple flowers that do not reflect UV. [2]

Taxonomy

Erysimum redowskii was first described by Johann Anton Weinmann in 1810. [3] A description of Cheiranthus pallasii was first published by Frederick Traugott Pursh in 1813. [4] It was transferred to Erysimum as Erysimum pallasii by Merritt Lyndon Fernald in 1925. [5] E. pallasii was considered to be a synonym of E. redowskii by Adolf Polatschek in 2010 and 2012 listings of Erysimum species. [6] [7] The synonymy is accepted by Plants of the World Online, as of April 2021. [1]

Distribution

This wallflower has a circumpolar Arctic distribution. It is widespread in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, and common in Greenland, Northwest Canada [ where? ] and Alaska.

Ecology

This species seems to be apomictic, since it is scarcely visited by insects and seed production is independent of flower visitors. [8]

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

Erysimum, or wallflower, is a genus of flowering plants in the cabbage family, Brassicaceae. It includes more than 150 species, both popular garden plants and many wild forms. The genus Cheiranthus is sometimes included here in whole or in part. Erysimum has since the early 21st century been ascribed to a monogeneric cruciferous tribe, Erysimeae, characterised by sessile, stellate (star-shaped) and/or malpighiaceous (two-sided) trichomes, yellow to orange flowers and multiseeded siliques.

<i>Erica</i> (plant) Genus of flowering plants in the family Ericaceae

Erica is a genus of roughly 857 species of flowering plants in the family Ericaceae. The English common names heath and heather are shared by some closely related genera of similar appearance. The genus Calluna was formerly included in Erica – it differs in having even smaller scale-leaves, and the flower corolla consisting of separate petals. Erica is sometimes referred to as "winter heather" to distinguish it from Calluna "summer heather".

<i>Hepatica</i> Genus of flowering plants in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae

Hepatica is a genus of herbaceous perennials in the buttercup family, native to central and northern Europe, Asia and eastern North America. Some botanists include Hepatica within a wider interpretation of Anemone.

<i>Erysimum mediohispanicum</i> Species of flowering plant

Erysimum mediohispanicum is a perennial short-lived monocarpic herb found in many montane regions of eastern Spain where it is distributed between 800–2,000 m above sea level and inhabits forests, scrublands, and shrublands. It occupies two main regions in the Iberian Peninsula, one in the north and the other in the south-east. Erysimum mediohispanicum may be treated as one of a group or complex of six closely related species, or as Erysimum nevadense subsp. mediohispanicum.

<i>Erysimum nevadense</i> Species of flowering plant

Erysimum nevadense is a perennial short-lived herb endemic to the Sierra Nevada of Spain, although there are some citations in the nearby Sierra de Gádor (Almería). This wallflower occurs between 1,700 and 2,700 m above sea level in subalpine scrublands and alpine meadows. It may be treated as a narrowly circumscribed single species, one of a group or complex of six separate species, or as a more broadly circumscribed species with six subspecies.

Erysimum cheiri, syn. Cheiranthus cheiri, the wallflower, is a species of flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae (Cruciferae), native to Greece, but widespread as an introduced species elsewhere.

Eduard Voss was a German entomologist, who specialized in beetles (Coleoptera), in particular the weevil family (Curculionidae). He described many new species and a number of beetles are named after him. Much of his beetle collection was lost in World War II, but some of the remaining collection is held in the Zoologischs Museum Hamburg.
