Alder Genus of flowering plants in the birch family Betulaceae

Alder is the common name of a genus of flowering plants, Alnus, belonging to the birch family Betulaceae. The genus comprises about 35 species of monoecious trees and shrubs, a few reaching a large size, distributed throughout the north temperate zone with a few species extending into Central America, as well as the northern and southern Andes.

Jakob Friedrich Ehrhart was a German botanist, a pupil of Carl Linnaeus at Uppsala University, and later director of the Botanical Garden of Hannover, where he produced several major botanical works between 1780–1793. Ehrhart was the first author to use the rank of subspecies in botanical literature, and he published many subspecific names between 1780 and 1789.

<i>Prunus serotina</i> Species of tree

Prunus serotina, commonly called black cherry, wild black cherry, rum cherry, or mountain black cherry, is a deciduous tree or shrub of the genus Prunus. Despite being called black cherry, it is not very closely related to the commonly cultivated cherries such as sweet cherry, sour cherry and Japanese flowering cherries which belong to Prunus subg. Cerasus. Instead, P. serotina belongs to Prunus subg. Padus, a subgenus also including Eurasian bird cherry and chokecherry. The species is widespread and common in North America and South America.

Lejeuneaceae Family of liverworts

<i>Asclepias incarnata</i> Species of flowering plant

Asclepias incarnata, the swamp milkweed, rose milkweed, rose milkflower, swamp silkweed, or white Indian hemp, is a herbaceous perennial plant species native to North America. It grows in damp through wet soils and also is cultivated as a garden plant for its flowers, which attract butterflies and other pollinators with nectar. Like most other milkweeds, it has latex containing toxic chemicals, a characteristic that repels insects and other herbivorous animals.

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

Calceolaria, also called lady's purse, slipper flower and pocketbook flower, or slipperwort, is a genus of plants in the family Calceolariaceae, sometimes classified in Scrophulariaceae by some authors. This genus consists of about 388 species of shrubs, lianas and herbs, and the geographical range extends from Patagonia to central Mexico, with its distribution centre in Andean region. Calceolaria species have usually yellow or orange flowers, which can have red or purple spots. The Calceolaria Herbeohybrida group, also called C. herbeohybrida Voss, is a group of ornamental hybrids known only in cultivation, called florists slipperwort.

<i>Honckenya</i> Genus of Caryophyllaceae plants

Honckenya peploides, the sea sandwort (UK) or seaside sandplant (Canada), is the only species in the genus Honckenya of the flowering plant family Caryophyllaceae. Other common names include sea chickweed, sea pimpernal, sea-beach sandwort, and sea purslane.

<i>Lejeunea hodgsoniana</i> Species of liverwort

Lejeunea hodgsoniana is a species of liverwort named in honour of Eliza Amy Hodgson. The often extensive mats formed by L. lamacerina are composed of small, delicate, pale green shoots. The lobules are smaller than the broadly rounded main leaf lobes. The underleaves are rather small and distant. Often fertile, with small, 5-keeled perianths. L. cavifolia (p. 221) has relatively larger, more overlapping underleaves and relatively smaller lobules. L. patens (p. 223) has a large, inflated lobule, which makes an acute angle with the leaf lobe. L. holtii is a rare plant of south-west Ireland, and has distinctly elliptical leaves, with rather small underleaves and even smaller lobules. L. mandonii is also very rare in oceanic districts; it is as tiny as Harpalejeunea molleri (p. 219), but has slightly elongated, rounded leaf lobes and a very distinctive, smoothly rounded perianth that differs from the 5-angled perianths of most related species. Aphanolejeunea (p. 227), Microlejeunea (p. 220), Drepanolejeunea (p. 218), etc. – are usually much smaller, with differently shaped leaves, often longer and thinner or pointed. Especially characteristic of rock faces by streams in humid valleys, and often covering extensive areas. It is far less frequent on crags or on trees in the uplands.
