According to APG II, the Asclepiadaceae is a former plant family now treated as a subfamily (subfamily Asclepiadoideae) in the Apocynaceae (Bruyns 2000). Plants are living Organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae. The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group Magnoliopsida is the Botanical name for a class of Flowering plants By definition the class will include the family Magnoliaceae, but its Gentianales are an order of Flowering plants included within the Asterid group of Dicotyledons The circumscription of Gentiales in the Cronquist The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, or APG, refers to two international groups of systematic botanists who came together to try to establish a consensus view of the Plants are living Organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae.
They form a group of perennial herbs, twining shrubs, lianas or rarely trees but notably also contain a significant number of leafless stem succulents, all belonging to the order Gentianales. A(n herb (ˈhɝb or /ˈɝb/ see pronunciation differences) is a plant that is valued for qualities such as medicinal properties flavor scent or the like A shrub or Bush is a horticultural rather than strictly botanical category of Woody plant, distinguished from a Tree The liana is any of various long-stemmed usually woody vines that are rooted in the soil at ground level and use trees as well as other means of vertical support to climb up to A tree is a perennial Woody plant. It is most often defined as a woody plant that has many secondary branches supported clear of the ground on a single main stem or Gentianales are an order of Flowering plants included within the Asterid group of Dicotyledons The circumscription of Gentiales in the Cronquist The name comes from the type genus Asclepias (milkweeds). A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic
There are 348 genera, with about 2,900 species. A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic In Biology, a species is one of the basic units of Biological classification and a Taxonomic rank. They are mainly located in the tropics to subtropics, especially in Africa and South America.
The florally advanced tribe Stapeliae within this family contain the relatively familiar stem succulent genera such as Huernia, Stapelia and Hoodia. The genera of plants within the tribe Stapeliae are all to varying degrees stem succulents A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic The genus Huernia consists of some 60 Species of stem Succulents from Eastern and Southern Africa. The genus Stapelia consists of around 40 Species of low growing spineless stem Succulent Plants predominantly from South Africa Hoodia (ˈhʊdiːə is a Genus of 13 species in the Flowering plant family Apocynaceae, under the subfamily Asclepiadoideae They are remarkable for the complex mechanisms they have developed for pollination, which independently parallel the unrelated Orchidaceae, especially in the grouping of their pollen into pollinia. Pollen is a fine to coarse powder consisting of microgametophytes ( pollen grains) which produce the male Gametes (sperm cells of Pollinium, or plural pollinia, is a coherent mass of Pollen grains The fragrance from the flowers, often called "carrion", attracts flies. The flies pollinate the flowers.
Many new hybrids have been formed due to the unique fertilization method of the flowers. In Biology, hybrid has two meanings The first meaning is the result of interbreeding between two animals or plants of different taxa.
