lentibulariaceae latin

Lentibulariaceae is a family of plants commonly called the bladderwort family.

Lentibulariaceae (bladderwort family)

Pinguicula belong to the Bladderwort family (Lentibulariaceae), along with Utricularia and Genlisea.

The single, long-lasting flowers are zygomorphic, with two lower lip petals characteristic of the bladderwort family, and a spur extending from the back of the flower.

Bladderwort family (Lentibulariaceae) - Common Butterwort (Pinguicula vulgaris)

Pinguicula ionantha is a rare species of flowering plant in the bladderwort family known by the common names Godfrey's butterwort and violet butterwort.

Lentibulariaceae, the bladderwort family, is a family of carnivorous plants containing three genera: Genlisea, the corkscrew plants; Pinguicula, the butterworts; and Utricularia, the bladderworts.

As in other members of the bladderwort family, the corolla is fused into a bilobed tube tapering to a spur, with the lower lip of the corolla having three lobes.

Initially, the specimen had been determined to be a member of the Lentibulariaceae.

Like all members of the family Lentibulariaceae, butterworts are carnivorous.

It belongs to a member of Lentibulariaceae family.

Pinguicula gigantea is a tropical species of carnivorous plant in the family Lentibulariaceae.

Pinguicula grandiflora, commonly known as the large-flowered butterwort, is a temperate insectivorous plant in the Lentibulariaceae family.

The genomes of several species in the genus Genlisea were studied in 2006 along with other members of the Lentibulariaceae family.

While its placement within the order is still unclear, it is closely related to Martyniaceae, Lentibulariaceae as well as Gesneriaceae.

Pinguicula balcanica, also known as the Balkanian butterwort, is a perennial carnivorous plant in the Lentibulariaceae family, endemic to the Balkans.

This shift may have first occurred in the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of the Lentibulariaceae, introducing absorptive glands that provided additional macronutrients through trapped insects.

John Adrian Naicker Parnell located the herbarium specimens in preparation for a review of Lentibulariaceae of Thailand and formally described it as a new species in 2005.

The Byblidaceae, Cephalotaceae, and Roridulaceae were placed in the Saxifragales; and the Lentibulariaceae in the Scrophulariales (now subsumed into the Lamiales).

Polypompholyx is a section in the genus Utricularia that was considered to be its own genus in the family Lentibulariaceae but was reduce to sectional rank by Peter Taylor.

Peter Taylor, in his 2000 description of the genus, suggested that the morphology Philcoxia resembles that of the carnivorous Lentibulariaceae and the relatively unrelated Droseraceae in some aspects.

When Barnhart revised the family Lentibulariaceae in 1916, he recognized six species in the section Orcheosanthus, admitting however that this number was likely to change as others studied the section in the future.

Other species in the genus Genlisea and the family Lentibulariaceae have much lower chromosome numbers and larger genome sizes, affirming that one characteristic of this botanic family is rapid molecular evolution.

Within the order, Bignoniaceae is in a group of eight families consisting of Thomandersiaceae, Pedaliaceae, Martyniaceae, Schlegeliaceae, Bignoniaceae, Verbenaceae, Acanthaceae, and Lentibulariaceae.

Special collections include Amaryllidaceae, Apiaceae, Asclepiadoideae, Asteraceae, Crassulaceae, Droseraceae, Fabaceae, Fagaceae, Iridaceae, Geraniaceae, Lamiaceae, Lentibulariaceae, Liliaceae, Palmae, Pinaceae, Scrophulariaceae, Nepenthaceae, and Sarraceniaceae.
