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

Anacyclus is a genus of plants in the family Asteraceae described by Linnaeus in 1753. Annuals or herbaceous perennials, they are cultivated for their fern-like leaves on creeping, radiating stems and daisy-like flowers. They are frost-hardy but may tolerate winter temperatures below −5 °C (23 °F) if grown in well-drained soil.

Molluginaceae

Molluginaceae are a family of flowering plants recognized by several taxonomists. It was previously included in the larger family Aizoaceae. The APG III system of 2009 made no change in the status of the family as compared to the APG II system of 2003 and the APG system of 1998, apart from a reassignment of several genera, such as the placement of Corrigiola and Telephium into Caryophyllaceae, Corbichonia in Lophiocarpaceae, Microtea into Microteaceae and Limeum in Limeaceae, because the family was found to be widely polyphyletic in Caryophyllales. In addition Macarthuria was found not to be related to Limeum as previously thought and thus it was placed in Macarthuriaceae, and similarly species formerly placed in Hypertelis, apart from type species Hypertelis spergulacea, a true Molluginaceae, were found to belong elsewhere and were described as Kewa in the family Kewaceae, named for the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew. Molluginaceae is still assigned to the order Caryophyllales in the clade core eudicots, although the generic circumscription is difficult because Mollugo is not monophyletic.

Barred puffbird Species of bird

The barred puffbird is a species of puffbird in the family Bucconidae. It lives in forests in the Tumbes-Chocó-Magdalena of Panama, Colombia and Ecuador. They can often be found in the middle to upper levels of the forests, in addition it has been spotted on the edges of forest trials, wires in loosely populated land, clearings with scattered trees, and occasionally in lower stories of humid forest borders. In terms of behavior, this bird is easily overlooked because of its propensity to sit still for long periods of time. Migration of this species has not been observed. Their diet consists of beetles, large caterpillars, local praying mantis, and small lizards. It can be identified by its faint red color, long, narrow and slightly graduated tail, creamy yellow colored iris and small size.
