Occurs in the Russian far east.

Occurs in northern North America and Greenland.

This plant is often mislabeled as an Alocasia.
Per Wilbert Hettersheid, from the description of C. praetermissum (Hilo Beauty) on eMonocot Team Araceae CATE Araceae http://araceae.e-monocot.org/t...

Taxonomic Notes:
Note 1: It is not clear why this plant is identified in cultivation as an Alocasia because all species of that genus possess a sterile appendix which is easily observable. Furthermore the leaves of the genus Alocasia are usually coriaceous but membranous in Caladium.

Note 3: When all plants in cultivation are derived vegetatively from one clone, the latter may then be regarded as a cultivar, which should carry the name C. praetermissum 'Hilo Beauty' or C. 'Hilo Beauty' (the cultivar epithet established by Graf, 1982 as part of the name Aloeasia 'Hilo Beauty').

Initially named Sabal x texensis the Brazoria palmetto is native to southwestern Brazoria County, Texas. Preliminary genetic studies have confirmed these very robust palmetto’s as hybrids, most likely between Sabal minor and S. palmetto. A preliminary evaluation of the ancestry of a putative Sabal hybrid (Arecaceae: Coryphoideae), and the description of a new nothospecies, Sabal × brazoriensis. D.H.Goldman et al..

Known by several names, this is a creation of Mrs. Joan Schofield.

This treatment provides an explanation of why A. treubii is an unplaced name as well as describing why it should be considered a cultivar of A. commutatum.

The proper spelling of this cultivar's name is questionable, possibly due to the use of san serif script.

This appears to be the same plant as Hydrangea aspera 'Haop012' by Oprins Plant N.V. (PP25,567 filed 2013) and marketed as Hot Chocolate. PBR38,127 for 'Haopr012' filed in 2011.

Since Neoregelia carolinae var. tricolor (and f. tricolor) are synonyms of Neoregelia carolinae The Bromeliad Society International, I.C.R.A. for Bromeliads, has granted this plant cultivar status as 'Caroline Tricolor'. The plant does not come true from seed and several clones are commonly propagated so variation should be expected. See the Bromeliad Cultivar Register at www.bsi.org for more information.

The Russell Lupin, a horticultural hybrid (Lupinus arboreus x L. polyphyllus) was bred by George Russell in the early 20th century. These “Russell Hybrids” are noted for having denser flower spikes and a wider color palette than Big-Leaf Lupin (Lupinus polyphyllus) adding reds, yellows and orange to the usual blues, purples, pinks and white.

Often seed propagated. Individual plants can therefore vary from the cultivar.

The original plant, from Chiapas, Mexico around 1860, has not been collected in the wild. It is believed to be either a hybrid, Anthurium berriozabalense x Anthurium (Anthurium clarinervium) or endemic to a very small area. For this reason you will often see it as Anthurium x leuconeurum. It differs from A. clarinervium in having no leaf lamina on the basal/posterior rib at the sinus (naked).

Often seed propagated. Individual plants can therefor vary from the cultivar.

A. Headbourne Hybrids, which includes Headbourne Blue and Headbourne White, is propagated from seed and therefore not true to type.

According to IPNI G. aristata was collected by Meriwether Lewis in Montana, July 1806. This is approximately three months before the end of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The plant was described in 1813 by Friedrich Traugott Pursch.

While 'Kun shan ye guang' is noted as synonymous with Chinese Tree Peony (Paeonia x suffruticosa 'Ye Guang Bai') by Carsten Burkhardt's Web Project Paeonia the plant pictured here is clearly different, 'Ye Guang Bai' being a white blooming Chinese Tree Peony.

This may be the same plant as Peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pecher') per Carsten Burkhardt's Web Project Paeonia.
