Schizotechium is a genus of flowering plants in the carnation family, Caryophyllaceae. It includes six species, which are native to central, south, and southeastern Asia (4 species) and to western North America (2 species). [1]
Six species are accepted. [1]
Caryophyllaceae, commonly called the pink family or carnation family, is a family of flowering plants. It is included in the dicotyledon order Caryophyllales in the APG III system, alongside 33 other families, including Amaranthaceae, Cactaceae, and Polygonaceae. It is a large family, with 81 genera and about 2,625 known species.
Gypsophila is a genus of flowering plants in the carnation family, Caryophyllaceae. They are native to Eurasia, Africa, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. Turkey has a particularly high diversity of Gypsophila taxa, with about 35 endemic species. Some Gypsophila are introduced species in other regions.
Saponaria is a genus of flowering plants in the family Caryophyllaceae, native to Asia and Europe, and are commonly known as soapworts. They are herbaceous perennials and annuals, some with woody bases. The flowers are abundant, five-petalled and usually in shades of pink or white. The genus is closely related to the genus Silene, being distinguished from these by having only two styles in the flower. It is also related to Gypsophila, but its calyx is cylindrical rather than bell-shaped.
Nanorrhinum is a genus of flowering plant in family Plantaginaceae.
Urceola is a plant genus in the family Apocynaceae, first described as a genus in 1798. It is native to China, the Himalayas, Southeast Asia, and New Guinea.
Dianthus nudiflorus, synonym Velezia rigida, is a species of flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae. It is native to the Mediterranean Basin countries of Europe and North Africa, and to western and central Asia and Pakistan. It is also present in northern California where it is an introduced species. It is an annual herb growing from a taproot and producing a hairy, glandular, branching green or purplish stem up to 40 centimeters tall. The linear leaves are up to 2 centimeters long. Solitary flowers occur in the leaf axils. Each flower has a very long, cylindrical, ribbed calyx of fused sepals forming the tubular throat of the flower, measuring at least a centimeter in length. At the top of the tube is the flower corolla which has five pink or purplish petals.
Stenella is a genus of anamorphic fungi in the family Mycosphaerellaceae. The widespread genus contained about 155 species in 2008.
Heterochroa is a genus of flowering plants in the carnation family, Caryophyllaceae. It includes six species native to temperate Eurasia, ranging from Iran to Central Asia, Mongolia, Siberia, and the Russian Far East.
Acanthophyllum is a genus of flowering plants in the family Caryophyllaceae with about 75 species, spread in the Irano-Turanian area.
Acanthophyllum cerastioides, the chickweed baby's-breath, is a perennial plant of the family Caryophyllaceae, found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, North India, Nepal, North Pakistan, and Sikkim, with a typical height of 10–27 cm. Recent molecular studies show this species is a member of the genus Acanthophyllum rather than Gypsophila.
Nanorrhinum scoparium, synonym Kickxia scoparia, is a yellow-flowered plant native to rocky areas of the Canary Islands in the North Atlantic. It belongs to the plantain family (Plantaginaceae).
Petrorhagia saxifraga, known as tunic flower or coat flower, is a small, herbaceous flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae. It is native to parts of Europe and introduced to the United States and Canada, Great Britain, and Sweden. Petrorhagia saxifraga is also known as tunic saxifrage, pink saxifrage, or just pink.
Eremogone is a genus of flowering plants in the family Caryophyllaceae, native to western North America, northern Asia, eastern Europe and northeastern Africa. Attempts to resolve taxonomic relationships within the Caryophyllaceae have resulted in the enlargement of Eremogone with species from other genera.
Silene pendula, called the nodding catchfly or drooping catchfly, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Silene, native to Italy, Greece, and Turkey, and introduced to scattered locations in North America, South America, Africa, Europe and Asia. A number of cultivars are available. A 2020 study showed with certainty that, despite their morphological similarities, Silene cisplatensis is not synonymous with Silene pendula.
Mycovellosiella is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Mycosphaerellaceae.
Picrorhiza is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Plantaginaceae.
Petroana is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Caryophyllaceae Juss., established by Madhani & Zarre in 2018 based on molecular and morphological evidence that distinguished its species from those in the closely related genera Gypsophila L. and Dianthus L.. This genus includes perennial herbs characterized by their adaptation to rocky habitats, with two species currently recognized: the type species Petroana montserratii(Fern.Casas) Madhani & Zarre and Petroana montana(Balf.f.) Madhani & Zarre.
Shivparvatia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Caryophyllaceae.
Odontostemma is a genus of flowering plants in the carnation family, Caryophyllaceae. It includes 61 species native to the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau, including parts of India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, and China.
Dichodon is a genus of flowering plants in the carnation family, Caryophyllaceae. It includes seven species native to temperate and boreal Eurasia and Morocco, Greenland, and eastern Canada.
