Ligularia stenocephala is a species of the genus Ligularia and the family Asteraceae. It used to be Senecio .
Senecio is a genus of the daisy family (Asteraceae) that includes ragworts and groundsels. The scientific Latin genus name, Senecio, means "old man."
Friedrich Richard Rudolf Schlechter was a German taxonomist, botanist, and author of several works on orchids.
Senecioneae is the largest tribe of the Asteraceae, or the sunflower family, comprising about 150 genera and 3,000 species. Almost one-third of the species in this tribe are placed in the genus Senecio. Its members exhibit probably the widest possible range of form to be found in the entire plant kingdom, and include annuals, minute creeping alpines, perennial herbs, shrubs, climbers, succulents, trees, and semiaquatic plants.
Johann Heinrich Friedrich Link was a German naturalist and botanist. The standard author abbreviation Link is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.
Count Alexandre Henri Gabriel de Cassini was a French botanist and naturalist, who specialised in the sunflower family (Asteraceae). The standard author abbreviation Cass. is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.
Carl Ludwig Willdenow was a German botanist, pharmacist, and plant taxonomist. He is considered one of the founders of phytogeography, the study of the geographic distribution of plants. Willdenow was also a mentor of Alexander von Humboldt, one of the earliest and best known phytogeographers. He also influenced Christian Konrad Sprengel, who pioneered the study of plant pollination and floral biology.
Carl Ernst Otto Kuntze was a German botanist.
The Berlin Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum is a botanical garden in the German capital city of Berlin, with an area of 43 hectares and around 22,000 different plant species. It was constructed between 1897 and 1910, under the guidance of architect Adolf Engler, in order to present exotic plants returned from German colonies.
Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), sometimes referred to as necine bases, are a group of naturally occurring alkaloids based on the structure of pyrrolizidine. Pyrrolizidine alkaloids are produced by plants as a defense mechanism against insect herbivores. More than 660 PAs and PA N-oxides have been identified in over 6,000 plants, and about half of them exhibit hepatotoxicity. They are found frequently in plants in the Boraginaceae, Asteraceae, Orchidaceae and Fabaceae families; less frequently in the Convolvulaceae and Poaceae, and in at least one species in the Lamiaceae. It has been estimated that 3% of the world’s flowering plants contain pyrrolizidine alkaloids. Honey can contain pyrrolizidine alkaloids, as can grains, milk, offal and eggs. To date (2011), there is no international regulation of PAs in food, unlike those for herbs and medicines.
Ptychadena pujoli is a species of frog in the family Ptychadenidae. It is known from Macenta and Sérédou in Guinea, Sukurela in Sierra Leone, and Mount Nimba in Liberia and Ivory Coast. Description of Ptychadena pujoli is based on old museum specimens, and very little is known about the ecology of this relatively recently (1997) described species.
Ptychadena stenocephala is a species of frog in the family Ptychadenidae. It is found in Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, Uganda, possibly Central African Republic, possibly Liberia, and possibly Nigeria.
Lichterfelde is a locality in the borough of Steglitz-Zehlendorf in Berlin, Germany. Until 2001 it was part of the former borough of Steglitz, along with Steglitz and Lankwitz.
Ligularia is a genus of Old World herbaceous perennial plants in the groundsel tribe within the sunflower family. They have yellow or orange composite flower heads with brown or yellow central disc florets, and are native to damp habitats mostly in central and eastern Asia, with a few species from Europe. There are about 120 to 140 species in the genus, and over half are endemic to China. The name Ligularia, from the Latin for "strap", refers to the shape of the ray florets.
Ligularia przewalskii (Maxim.) Diels, also called Przewalski's leopardplant and Przewalski's golden ray, is a species of 1.5–2 m (4.9–6.6 ft) tall perennial herbaceous plant in the genus Ligularia and the family Asteraceae, native to damp places in Mongolia and Northern China and named after Nikolai Przhevalsky. It used to be called Senecio przewalskii Maxim. Przewalski's Ligularia is a popular ornamental plant grown for its large, deeply cut foliage and its tall spike-like inflorescences with bright yellow composite flowers blooming from July to August.
Ligularia dentata is a species of flowering plant in the genus Ligularia and the family Asteraceae, native to China and Japan.
Ligularia sibirica is the type species for the genus Ligularia. It is a 0.3-1.3 m tall perennial herbaceous plant, native to fens and damp grassy meadows in Siberia, Central and Eastern Europe. Once fairly common, it has disappeared from many places in Europe, owing to drainage of wetlands and competition from other plants invading its natural habitats; when growing in shade plants do not flower or set seed very well and seed germination is greatly reduced. This species is sometimes grown in gardens for its large leaves and tall spike like arrangement of yellow daisy like flowers.
Pselnophorus vilis is a moth of the family Pterophoridae. It known from Japan, Amur, Korea and China.
Mount Stogu is a protected area situated in the administrative territory of Băile Olăneşti, in Vâlcea County within east Romania.
Ligularia fischeri, known as gomchwi or Fischers ragwort, is a species in the genus Ligularia.
Oocephala stenocephala is a plant in the family Asteraceae, native to tropical Africa.
