Ianhedgea is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Brassicaceae. [1] The only species is Ianhedgea minutiflora. [1]
Its native range is from Iran to Central Asia and Tibet. It is found in the countries of Afghanistan, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Tibet, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. [2]
The genus name of Ianhedgea is in honour of Ian Charleson Hedge (b. 1928), a Scottish botanist at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh. [3] The Latin specific epithet of minutiflora means 'minute' meaning small and 'flora' meaning flower.
Both genus, species and subspecies were first described and published in Edinburgh J. Bot. Vol.56 on page 322 in 1999. [2]
It has a subspecies Ianhedgea minutiflora subsp. brevipedicellata(Hedge) Al-Shehbaz & O'Kane (syn. Microsisymbrium murgabicum Ikonn.) from Afghanistan and Tajikistan. [4]
Arabidopsis (rockcress) is a genus in the family Brassicaceae. They are small flowering plants related to cabbage and mustard. This genus is of great interest since it contains thale cress, one of the model organisms used for studying plant biology and the first plant to have its entire genome sequenced. Changes in thale cress are easily observed, making it a very useful model.
Eleocharis palustris, the common spike-rush, creeping spike-rush or marsh spike-rush, is a species of mat-forming perennial flowering plants in the sedge family Cyperaceae. It grows in wetlands in Europe, North Africa, northern and central Asia and North America. Eleocharis palustris is not easily distinguished from other closely related species and is extremely variable worldwide itself. The species epithet palustris is Latin for "of the marsh" and indicates its common habitat.
