Johnstonella is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Boraginaceae. [1]

Contents

Its native range is south western and southern USA to Mexico, Peru to southern South America. It is found in the American states of Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Utah, as well as in the countries of Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Peru. [1]

Taxonomy

The genus name of Johnstonella is in honour of Ivan Murray Johnston (1898–1960), an American botanist. [2] It was first described and published by August Brand in Repert. Spec. Nov. Regni Veg. Vol.21 on page 249 in 1925. [1]

Then in 1927, Ivan M. Johnston wrote that the genus of Oreocarya (in the Boraginaceae family) could be combined with Cryptantha . Then Edwin Blake Payson in 1927 (A Monograph of the section Oreocarya of Cryptantha, Ann. Mo. Bot. Gard. 14:211-358) agreed with Johnston and Payson had four sections in Cryptantha: Eucryptantha (= Cryptantha), Geocarya, Krynitzkia (inclusive of Eremocarya , Greeneocharis , and Johnstonella), and Oreocarya. Larry Higgins (1971), another expert on the perennial taxa, published a revised monograph of Oreocarya, and agreed with Johnston and Payson on the inclusion of Oreocarya within Cryptantha, but also elevating the four sections of Johnston (1927) and Payson (1927) to subgenera. [3] Although various species were sometimes still called synonyms of Cryptantha. [4]

In 2012, the phylogenetic relationship of members of the genus Cryptantha was carried out, based on dna sequencing analyses, it was then proposed that the resurrection of the following genera Eremocarya, Greeneocharis, Johnstonella, and also Oreocarya . [5] [6]

Cryptantha is a genus of flowering plants in the borage family, Boraginaceae. They are known commonly as cat's eyes and popcorn flowers. They are distributed throughout western North America and western South America, but they are absent from the regions in between.

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

Claytonia is a genus of flowering plants native to Asia, North America, and Central America. The vitamin-rich leaves can be eaten raw or cooked, and the tubers can be prepared like potatoes.

Boraginales Order of flowering plants within the lammiid clade of eudicots

Boraginales is an order of flowering plants in the asterid clade. It includes the Boraginaceae and a number of other families, with a total of about 125 genera and 2,700 species. Its herbs, shrubs, trees and lianas (vines) have a worldwide distribution.

Hoplestigma is a genus of flowering plants in the family Hoplestigmataceae. One study of pollen suggested that Hoplestigma might be related to the family Ehretiaceae. In a comparison of chloroplast DNA sequences in 2014, Hoplestigma formed a strongly supported clade with Coldenia and genera that have always been placed in Cordiaceae. The authors of that study recommended that Hoplestigma and Coldenia be included in Cordiaceae.

Tiquilia is a genus of flowering plants in the borage family, Boraginaceae. The 27 species in this genus are known by the common name crinklemat. They are native to the Western Hemisphere and are mostly found in desert regions.

Wellstedia is a genus of flowering plants traditionally included in the family Boraginaceae s.l., but placed in its own family, Wellstediaceae within the Boraginales order, by the Boraginales Working Group.

Boraginoideae Subfamily of plants within the borage family (Boraginaceae)

Boraginoideae is a subfamily of the flowering plant family Boraginaceae s.s, with about 42 genera. That family is defined in a much broader sense in the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG) system of classification for flowering plants. The APG has not specified any subfamilial structure within Boraginaceae s.l.

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

Maurandya is a genus of flowering plants in the family Plantaginaceae, native to Mexico and the south west United States. They sprawl or climb by means of twining leaf stalks. One of the four species, Maurandya barclayana, is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant.

<i>Codon</i> (plant) Genus of flowering plants

Codon is a small genus of plants from South Africa in the family Codonaceae in the order Boraginales. The genus Codon comprises two species.

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

Coldenia, named after C. Colden, is a monotypic genus of flowering plants traditionally included in the borage family, Boraginaceae sensu lato. It was assigned to the subfamily Ehretioideae, but molecular data revealed it to be more closely related to the genus Cordia, so that other authors placed in Cordioideae. Subsequently, it was placed in its own family, Coldeniaceae, within the Boraginales order, by the Boraginales Working Group.

<i>Euploca</i> Genus of flowering plants in the borage family Boraginaceae

Euploca is an almost cosmopolitan genus of plants with around 100 species. It was first described by Thomas Nuttall in 1837. While part of the broadly defined Boraginaceae in the APG IV system from 2016, a revision of the order Boraginales from the same year includes Euploca in the separate family Heliotropiaceae. Its species used to be classified in the genera Hilgeria and Schleidenia and in Heliotropium sect. Orthostachys, but were found to form an independent lineage in a molecular phylogenetic analysis, more closely related to Myriopus than to Heliotropium. While many species use the C4 photosynthetic pathway, there are also C3–C4 intermediate species. Species have leaves with a C4-typical Kranz anatomy.

<i>Varronia</i> Genus of Boraginaceae plants

Varronia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae, found throughout Latin America, the Caribbean, and in the US states of Texas and Florida. They were resurrected from Cordia in 2007.

Antiphytum, commonly known as saucerflower, is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Boraginaceae.
