Sign in to save

The family Stylidiaceae is a taxon of dicotyledonous flowering plants. It consists of five genera with over 240 species, most of which are endemic to Australia and New Zealand. Members of Stylidiaceae are typically grass-like herbs or small shrubs and can be perennials or annuals. Most species are free standing or self-supporting, though a few can be climbing or scrambling (Stylidium scandens uses leaf tips recurved into hooks to climb).

属 参见正文 花柱草科共有5属约240种,分布在澳洲、南美洲南端和热带亚洲,中国只有1属2种—Stylidium 1属2种—花柱草 (Stylidium uliginosum Sw.)和狭叶花柱草 (Stylidium tenellum Sw.),分布在南岭以南地区。 本科植物为一年生或多年生草本,或亚灌木;单叶,对生、互生或簇生于茎上,无托叶;花两性或单性,左右对称,组成花序,花冠合瓣,5-7裂,有点二唇形;果实为蒴果,开裂,种子多数。 属 Fostera Levenhookia Oreostylidium Phyllachne 花柱草属 Stylidium 1981年的克朗奎斯特分类法将其列在桔梗目中,1998年根据基因亲缘关系分类的APG 分类法认为应该放在菊目中,2003年经过修订的APG II 分类法认为可以选择性地与陀螺果科合并。陀螺果科在2006年新修订为花柱草科中的一个亚科。 外部链接 在 L.

The family Stylidiaceae is a taxon of dicotyledonous flowering plants. It consists of five genera with over 240 species, most of which are endemic to Australia and New Zealand. Members of Stylidiaceae are typically grass-like herbs or small shrubs and can be perennials or annuals. Most species are free standing or self-supporting, though a few can be climbing or scrambling (Stylidium scandens uses leaf tips recurved into hooks to climb).

The pollination mechanisms of Stylidium and Levenhookia are as follows: In Stylidium the floral column, which consists of the fused stamen and style, springs violently from one side (usually under the flower) when triggered. This deposits the pollen on a visiting insect. In Levenhookia, however, the column is immobile, but the hooded labellum is triggered and sheds pollen.
