| Description |
Common name: Dwarf Powder Puff, Miniature powderpuff Botanical name: Calliandra tergemina var. emarginata (List of synonyms) - [ (kal-ee-AN-druh) from the Greek kallos (beautiful) and andra (stamen); (e-mar-jin-NAY-tuh) with a notched margin ] Family: Mimosaceae (touch-me-not family) or Fabaceae s. l. (pea, or bean family) - [ (fab-AY-see-ay) the Faba (broad bean) family, (formerly Leguminosae, the legume family) ] Origin: Southern Mexico, Panama, Bolivia About the family Mimosaceae: The Mimosaceae are mostly tropical and subtropical trees and shrubs comprising about 40 genera and 2,000 species. The leaves are nearly always alternate, stipulate, and bipinnately compound (rarely once-pinnate) They usually have swollen petiole bases called pulvini that commonly function in orientation of the leaves (remember the sensitive plant, Mimosa pudica). The inflorescence is commonly a capitulum (also called a head). The flowers are hypogynous to slightly perigynous, have radial symmetry, petals that are valvate in bud, and commonly a 5-parted calyx and corolla. The stamens are distinct to strongly monadelphous, numerous (rarely as few as 10), and are generally more showy than the perianth. The pistil is simple, comprising a single style and stigma, and a superior ovary with 2-many marginal ovules in a solitary locule. The fruit is usually a legume. -- Gerald Carr Courtesy: - Flowers of India - TopTropicals - Dave's Garden - Zipcode Zoo - ILDIS - Zipcode Zoo Note: Identification or description may not be accurate; it is subject to your review. |
