Ribes colandina

Ribes colandina is a species of currant found only in Perú. [1] Ribes colandina differs from Ribes andicola in uniformly dark red flowers (petals red, not orange-yellow as in R. andicola), black instead of yellow fruits and wider, more deeply lobed leaves.

Description

Ribes colandina is a dioecious shrub approximately 1.54 metres (5.1 ft) tall; densely to moderately tomentose from simple, curly trichomes 12 millimetres (0.47 in) long and with scattered subsessile glands, especially on young shoots and the abaxial leaf surface. Its petiole is 1,535 millimetres (60.4 in) long, 1 millimetre (0.039 in) wide; its stipules well differentiated, united with the petiole for 610 millimetres (24 in). Inflorescences are terminal on short lateral shoots (brachyblasts); racemes pendent with a 510 millimetres (20 in)-long peduncle. The flowers are narrowly cyathiform, with the calyx and corolla a very dark red, 4 millimetres (0.16 in) x 35 millimetres (1.4 in) in size, covered with simple hairs 0.2 millimetres (0.0079 in) long. Its petals are inserted approximately 1 millimetre (0.039 in) from the base of the hypanthium, while the filaments are inserted approximately in half of that distance. The fruit is spherical, pendulous and black, 812 millimetres (32.0 in) in diameter, with scattered shortly stalked glands. [1]

Distribution

La Libertad, Cajamarca Department, Amazonas Department, Lambayeque Department and Piura Department. This new species replaces R. andicola south of the Ecuadorean border and appears to be widespread in Piura, Lambayeque, Cajamarca and La Libertad. Ancash Region does not harbour this species, where it is replaced by R. viscosum .[ citation needed ]

<i>Ribes canthariforme</i> Species of currant

Ribes canthariforme is a rare species of currant commonly known as the Moreno currant. It is characterized by pink to red flowers, a dense inflorescence, and a lack of nodal spines. A little-known endemic to the mountains of San Diego County, it is usually found growing the shade of massive boulders in the chaparral. Although the rarity and small numbers of this plant is a conservation concern, it is usually found in remote areas and is well hidden enough to be safe from most threats.

<i>Eutaxia parvifolia</i> Species of legume

Eutaxia parvifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to southwestern Western Australia. It is a shrub with reddish brown stems, elliptic to egg-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, and mostly yellow, red or orange flowers, with yellow red or orange markings.

Urtica lalibertadensis is a species of the genus Urtica. It differs from U. leptostachya in its subscandent habit and the deflexed stinging hairs on the glabrous stem, and by the presence of numerous stinging hairs on the perigon of the female flowers and individual stinging hairs on the perigon of the male flower. It is a very abundant species in Peru.

Urtica urentivelutina is a species of the genus Urtica. This species is closely related to U. macbridei, but differs in its much denser and longer indument, especially on the stipules and the presence of stinging hairs on the perigon of the female flowers. The leaves are densely pubescent and also irregularly bullate between the veins, which is a character not found in other Peruvian species.

Ribes sanchezii is a species of currant, named after Peruvian botanist Isidoro Sánchez Vega of Cajamarca. This species of Ribes is distinct form both R. andicola and R. colandina because of its ovate to elliptical leaves with a very poorly developed lateral lobe and its aberrant indument. The two latter species have leaves with pubescence on both the adaxial and abaxial surface and the adaxial leaf surface is matt green, whereas R. sanchezii has a shiny dark green upper leaf surface and pubescence abaxially restricted to the primary and secondary veins. Ribes sanchezii also has strongly resupinate fruits, whereas the fruits of R. andicola and R. colandina are pendulous.

Ribes contumazensis is a species of currant, named after Peruvian botanist Isidoro Sánchez Vega of Cajamarca. It is completely glabrous apart from the stalked glands, differentiating it from R. colandina.
