'''''Kalanchoe beharensis''''' ('''Elephant's ear Kalanchoe''') is a plant [[species]] in the succulent [[genus]] [[Kalanchoe]], [[endemic (ecology)|endemic]] to [[Madagascar]].

It is a fairly large [[shrub]] in stature, up to 6 m tall. It has large, triangular opposite leaves which are irregularly lobed and typically covered with felt-like hair. In mature leaves, the hair is rusty, or even golden, on top and silvery on the underside. The leaves can reach 12-35 cm long and 7-35 cm wide. It has green-yellow urn-shape flowers with violet veining.

===Cultivation===
It is grown as a decorative indoor plant, being very easy to culture. Propagation is by cutting or breaking off a leaf, letting it sit in the shade for two or three days, and then repot the leaf so it is partly covered by soil.

'''''Kalanchoe''''', also written ''Kalanchöe'' or ''Kalanchoë'' and {{pron-en|ˌkælənˈkoʊ.iː}},<ref>''Sunset Western Garden Book,'' 1995:606–607; {{OED|Kalanchoe}}</ref> is a genus of about 125 species of [[tropical]], succulent [[flowering plant]]s in the Family [[Crassulaceae]], mainly native to the [[Old World]] but with a few species now growing wild in the [[New World]] following introduction.

Most are [[shrub]]s or [[Perennial plant|perennial]] [[herbaceous]] plants, but a few are [[annual plant|annual]] or [[biennial plant|biennial]]. The largest, ''[[Kalanchoe beharensis]]'' from [[Madagascar]], can reach 6 m tall, but most species are less than 1 m tall.

Members of Kalanchoe genus are characterized by opening their flowers by growing new cells on the inner surface of the [[petal]]s to force them outwards, and on the outside of the petals to close them.

These plants are cultivated as ornamental houseplants and rock or "succulent" garden plants. They are popular because of their ease of propagation, low water requirements, and wide variety of flower colors typically borne in clusters well above the vegetative growth. The [[section (botany)|section]] ''[[Bryophyllum]]'' - formerly an independent genus - contains species such as the "Air plant" ''[[Kalanchoe pinnata]]''. In these plants, new individuals develop [[Vegetative reproduction|vegetatively]] as plantlets, also known as bulbils or gemmae, at indents along the leaves. These young plants eventually drop off and take root. No males have been found of one species of this genus which does flower and produce seeds, and it is commonly called, the ''Mother of Thousands''. These plants are the food plant of the caterpillars of Red Pierrot butterfly. The butterfly lay its eggs on the leaf and after hatching the caterpillar go inside the leaf and eat the leaf from inside.

{{Inc|
Kalanchoe (from Chinese name). Crassulaceae. Sometimes spelled Calanchoe. Succulent glasshouse herbs or subshrubs, with interesting foliage and flowers.

Usually robust erect plants: lvs. opposite, fleshy, sessile or stalked, varying from entire to crenate and pinnatifid: fls. yellow, purple or scarlet, in many-fld. terminal paniculate cymes, rather large and often showy; calyx 4-parted, the narrow lobes shorter than the corolla-tube, usually falling early; corolla 4-parted and mostly spreading, the tube usually urn-shaped; stamens 8: carpels, 4.—More than 100 species, in. the Old World tropics and in S. Afr., and 1 reported from brazil. A few species are prized by amateurs. The fls. are lasting in bouquets. For the general handling of this class of plants, see Succulents; also cotyledon and crassula. They prop, readily by seeds and cuttings.

'''''Kadsura''''' is a genus of [[angiosperms]] in the [[Schisandraceae]] family.

{{Inc|
Kadsura (Japanese name). Magnoliaceae. Tropical Asian woody climbers. Kadsuras have leathery or rarely membranous foliage: fls. axillary, solitary, whitish or rosy, unisexual; sepals and petals 9-15, gradually changing from the outermost and smallest to the innermost and petaloid; staminate fls. with an indefinite number of stamens, which are separate or coalesced into a globe: carpels indefinite in number, 2-3-ovuled: mature berries in globular heads.—About 8 species, of one of which Charles S. Sargent writes: "The flowers are not at all showy, but it is a plant of extraordinary beauty in the autumn when the clusters of scarlet fruit are ripe, their brilliancy being heightened by contrast with the dark green, lustrous, persistent leaves. ... It might well be grown wherever the climate is sufficiently mild, as in the autumn no plant is more beautiful."

'''''Justicia''''' is a genus of about 420 species of [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Acanthaceae]], native to tropical to warm temperate regions of the [[Americas]], with two species occurring north into cooler temperate regions. Common names include '''water-willow''' and '''shrimp plant''', the latter from the [[inflorescence]]s, which resemble a [[shrimp]] in some species.

{{Inc|
Justicia (James Justice, a scotch gardener and author of the eighteenth century).Acanthaceir. Greenhouse plants, grown for the showy fascicles, spikes or panicles of white, violet or red bracted flowers.

Mostly herbs of various habit, with opposite entire lvs: calyx deeply divided into 4 or 5 narrow lobes; corolla 2-lipped, the straight or curved tube very short and dilated above, the upper lip erect or incurved and concave and the summit entire or somewhat 2-toothed, the lower lip 3-lobed and spreading; stamens 2 attached in the throat; staminodia none; disk ring-like or cupulate: caps, ovate or oblong, with seeds 4 or less.-Species 250-300, widely distributed in many warm regions, in Amer. reaching as far north as Texas. From Jacobinia, close garden ally, the genus is distinguished by the spurred or appendaged anthers. Justicia is variously understood. Landau (in Engler & Prantl, Pflanzenfamilien) refers no less than 30 genera to it, among others being Adhatoda and Dianthera. Most of the garden plants known as justicias are jacobinias. Consult Jacobinia, for example, for Justicia magnifica, J. carnea, J. Pohliana, J. velutina, J. Mohintlii, J. coccinea, J. Ghiesbreghtiana and J. Lindenii. Others may belong to Thyrsacanthus, Daedalacanthus and Schaueria; and there has been confusion even with Whitfieldia.

The remarks on culture under the different species of jacobinias will apply here. Plants are secured readily from cuttings made in late winter or spring, and these should bloom the coming fall or winter. After blooming, discard the plants, except such as are to be kept for furnishing cuttings. Unless well headed back, old plants become loose and weedy, and they take up too much room.

The Justicia quadrifida now offered in S. Calif., is probably Anisacanthus virgularis, Nees (Justicia virgularis, Salisb. J. coccinea, Cav., not Aubl. J. quadrifida, vahl. drejera puberula, torr.). Plant vigorous, rather straggling, with long erect branches, glabrous: lvs. deciduous, light green, opposite and decussate, elliptic-lanceolate, spreading, rigid: fls. scarlet-red (or orange-scarlet), usually solitary, axillary in one of the 2 opposite axils, thus making a long leafy unilateral spike; corolla-tube long and slender, deeply lobed into 4 spreading or recurved parts. Mex. R.H. 1872:50. Autumn and winter in S. Calif., Aug. and Sept. in France. var. compacta, franceschi, is a very compact low bush of emerald-green color and covered all summer with orange-scarlet fls.; comes true from seed.— Not to be confounded with Justicia quadrifaria, Wall.

Of the justicias appearing in American lists, only J. furcata, Jacq. (Adhatoda furcata, DC.) seems now to be retained in the genus. Herbaceous, pubescent, the st. erect and terete: lvs. oblong-oval, attenuate to petiole: fls. small, in short aggregated axillary spikes which are often geminate, the bracts linear-lanceolate; color of fls. purple and white; upper lip 2-fid, the lower 3-fid and broad-convex. S. Mex.—Said to seed itself freely in S. Calif., but to be of little value.

J. calloricha and J. ealycotricha, Hort., see Schaueria.—J. flava, Hort., and J. flatfcoma, Lindl. equals Schaueria.

''Justicia americana'' (American Water-willow), is native to eastern [[North America]] north to southern [[Ontario]]; it is the hardiest species in the genus, hardy to USDA Plant Zone 4. ''Justicia ovata'' (Looseflower Water-willow) occurs nearly as far north, reaching [[Michigan]].

''Justicia brandegeeana'' (formerly ''Beloperone guttata'', commonly called Shrimp Plant) is native to [[Mexico]]. It is hardy to −4 °C but will often recover in the spring after freezing back in USDA Plant Zone 8a.

''Justicia carnea'' (formerly ''Jacobinia carnea'', common names including Brazilian Plume Flower, Flamingo Flower, and Jacobinia) is native to [[South America]] in southern [[Brazil]], [[Paraguay]] and northern [[Argentina]]. It is hardy to −2 °C but will often recover in the spring after freezing back in USDA Plant Zone 8a.

''Justicia procumbens''-procumbent herb,stem angular,swollen at nodes,leaves ovate,small,inflorescence terminal spike,flowers small,purple,stamens didynamous,inserted,stigma shortly bilobed

'''''Justicia brandegeeana''''' ('''Mexican Shrimp Plant''' or '''Shrimp Plant'''; [[syn.]] ''Beloperone guttata'' Brandeg.) is an [[evergreen]] [[perennial plant|perennial]] [[shrub]] in the genus ''[[Justicia]]'', native to [[Mexico]].

It grows to 1 m tall (rarely more) with spindly limbs. The [[leaf|leaves]] are oval, green, 3-7.5 cm long. The [[flower]]s are white, extending from red [[bract]]s which look a bit like a [[shrimp]], hence the shrub's common name, shrimp flower.

The species is named after the American botanist [[Townshend Stith Brandegee]] (1843-1925); the scientific name is commonly seen mis-spelled "''brandegeana''".

===Cultivation and uses===
The shrimp plant, a common [[ornamental plant|ornamental shrub]], thrives in the shade in tropical areas and can be propagated by stem cuttings. It does best in well-drained sandy or loamy soil, but is generally low maintenance and drought-tolerant. The flowers fade somewhat in the full sun.

The flowers attract [[hummingbird]]s and [[Butterfly|butterflies]]. A number of [[cultivar]]s are available, with different flower bract colors, including yellow, pink and dark brick-red.

It is [[naturalisation (biology)|naturalized]] in [[Florida]].

'''''Justicia''''' is a genus of about 420 species of [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Acanthaceae]], native to tropical to warm temperate regions of the [[Americas]], with two species occurring north into cooler temperate regions. Common names include '''water-willow''' and '''shrimp plant''', the latter from the [[inflorescence]]s, which resemble a [[shrimp]] in some species.

{{Inc|
Justicia (James Justice, a scotch gardener and author of the eighteenth century).Acanthaceir. Greenhouse plants, grown for the showy fascicles, spikes or panicles of white, violet or red bracted flowers.

Mostly herbs of various habit, with opposite entire lvs: calyx deeply divided into 4 or 5 narrow lobes; corolla 2-lipped, the straight or curved tube very short and dilated above, the upper lip erect or incurved and concave and the summit entire or somewhat 2-toothed, the lower lip 3-lobed and spreading; stamens 2 attached in the throat; staminodia none; disk ring-like or cupulate: caps, ovate or oblong, with seeds 4 or less.-Species 250-300, widely distributed in many warm regions, in Amer. reaching as far north as Texas. From Jacobinia, close garden ally, the genus is distinguished by the spurred or appendaged anthers. Justicia is variously understood. Landau (in Engler & Prantl, Pflanzenfamilien) refers no less than 30 genera to it, among others being Adhatoda and Dianthera. Most of the garden plants known as justicias are jacobinias. Consult Jacobinia, for example, for Justicia magnifica, J. carnea, J. Pohliana, J. velutina, J. Mohintlii, J. coccinea, J. Ghiesbreghtiana and J. Lindenii. Others may belong to Thyrsacanthus, Daedalacanthus and Schaueria; and there has been confusion even with Whitfieldia.

The remarks on culture under the different species of jacobinias will apply here. Plants are secured readily from cuttings made in late winter or spring, and these should bloom the coming fall or winter. After blooming, discard the plants, except such as are to be kept for furnishing cuttings. Unless well headed back, old plants become loose and weedy, and they take up too much room.

The Justicia quadrifida now offered in S. Calif., is probably Anisacanthus virgularis, Nees (Justicia virgularis, Salisb. J. coccinea, Cav., not Aubl. J. quadrifida, vahl. drejera puberula, torr.). Plant vigorous, rather straggling, with long erect branches, glabrous: lvs. deciduous, light green, opposite and decussate, elliptic-lanceolate, spreading, rigid: fls. scarlet-red (or orange-scarlet), usually solitary, axillary in one of the 2 opposite axils, thus making a long leafy unilateral spike; corolla-tube long and slender, deeply lobed into 4 spreading or recurved parts. Mex. R.H. 1872:50. Autumn and winter in S. Calif., Aug. and Sept. in France. var. compacta, franceschi, is a very compact low bush of emerald-green color and covered all summer with orange-scarlet fls.; comes true from seed.— Not to be confounded with Justicia quadrifaria, Wall.

Of the justicias appearing in American lists, only J. furcata, Jacq. (Adhatoda furcata, DC.) seems now to be retained in the genus. Herbaceous, pubescent, the st. erect and terete: lvs. oblong-oval, attenuate to petiole: fls. small, in short aggregated axillary spikes which are often geminate, the bracts linear-lanceolate; color of fls. purple and white; upper lip 2-fid, the lower 3-fid and broad-convex. S. Mex.—Said to seed itself freely in S. Calif., but to be of little value.

J. calloricha and J. ealycotricha, Hort., see Schaueria.—J. flava, Hort., and J. flatfcoma, Lindl. equals Schaueria.

''Justicia americana'' (American Water-willow), is native to eastern [[North America]] north to southern [[Ontario]]; it is the hardiest species in the genus, hardy to USDA Plant Zone 4. ''Justicia ovata'' (Looseflower Water-willow) occurs nearly as far north, reaching [[Michigan]].

''Justicia brandegeeana'' (formerly ''Beloperone guttata'', commonly called Shrimp Plant) is native to [[Mexico]]. It is hardy to −4 °C but will often recover in the spring after freezing back in USDA Plant Zone 8a.

''Justicia carnea'' (formerly ''Jacobinia carnea'', common names including Brazilian Plume Flower, Flamingo Flower, and Jacobinia) is native to [[South America]] in southern [[Brazil]], [[Paraguay]] and northern [[Argentina]]. It is hardy to −2 °C but will often recover in the spring after freezing back in USDA Plant Zone 8a.

''Justicia procumbens''-procumbent herb,stem angular,swollen at nodes,leaves ovate,small,inflorescence terminal spike,flowers small,purple,stamens didynamous,inserted,stigma shortly bilobed

'''''Justicia brandegeeana''''' ('''Mexican Shrimp Plant''' or '''Shrimp Plant'''; [[syn.]] ''Beloperone guttata'' Brandeg.) is an [[evergreen]] [[perennial plant|perennial]] [[shrub]] in the genus ''[[Justicia]]'', native to [[Mexico]].

It grows to 1 m tall (rarely more) with spindly limbs. The [[leaf|leaves]] are oval, green, 3-7.5 cm long. The [[flower]]s are white, extending from red [[bract]]s which look a bit like a [[shrimp]], hence the shrub's common name, shrimp flower.

The species is named after the American botanist [[Townshend Stith Brandegee]] (1843-1925); the scientific name is commonly seen mis-spelled "''brandegeana''".

===Cultivation and uses===
The shrimp plant, a common [[ornamental plant|ornamental shrub]], thrives in the shade in tropical areas and can be propagated by stem cuttings. It does best in well-drained sandy or loamy soil, but is generally low maintenance and drought-tolerant. The flowers fade somewhat in the full sun.

The flowers attract [[hummingbird]]s and [[Butterfly|butterflies]]. A number of [[cultivar]]s are available, with different flower bract colors, including yellow, pink and dark brick-red.

It is [[naturalisation (biology)|naturalized]] in [[Florida]].

'''''Justicia''''' is a genus of about 420 species of [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Acanthaceae]], native to tropical to warm temperate regions of the [[Americas]], with two species occurring north into cooler temperate regions. Common names include '''water-willow''' and '''shrimp plant''', the latter from the [[inflorescence]]s, which resemble a [[shrimp]] in some species.

{{Inc|
Justicia (James Justice, a scotch gardener and author of the eighteenth century).Acanthaceir. Greenhouse plants, grown for the showy fascicles, spikes or panicles of white, violet or red bracted flowers.

Mostly herbs of various habit, with opposite entire lvs: calyx deeply divided into 4 or 5 narrow lobes; corolla 2-lipped, the straight or curved tube very short and dilated above, the upper lip erect or incurved and concave and the summit entire or somewhat 2-toothed, the lower lip 3-lobed and spreading; stamens 2 attached in the throat; staminodia none; disk ring-like or cupulate: caps, ovate or oblong, with seeds 4 or less.-Species 250-300, widely distributed in many warm regions, in Amer. reaching as far north as Texas. From Jacobinia, close garden ally, the genus is distinguished by the spurred or appendaged anthers. Justicia is variously understood. Landau (in Engler & Prantl, Pflanzenfamilien) refers no less than 30 genera to it, among others being Adhatoda and Dianthera. Most of the garden plants known as justicias are jacobinias. Consult Jacobinia, for example, for Justicia magnifica, J. carnea, J. Pohliana, J. velutina, J. Mohintlii, J. coccinea, J. Ghiesbreghtiana and J. Lindenii. Others may belong to Thyrsacanthus, Daedalacanthus and Schaueria; and there has been confusion even with Whitfieldia.

The remarks on culture under the different species of jacobinias will apply here. Plants are secured readily from cuttings made in late winter or spring, and these should bloom the coming fall or winter. After blooming, discard the plants, except such as are to be kept for furnishing cuttings. Unless well headed back, old plants become loose and weedy, and they take up too much room.

The Justicia quadrifida now offered in S. Calif., is probably Anisacanthus virgularis, Nees (Justicia virgularis, Salisb. J. coccinea, Cav., not Aubl. J. quadrifida, vahl. drejera puberula, torr.). Plant vigorous, rather straggling, with long erect branches, glabrous: lvs. deciduous, light green, opposite and decussate, elliptic-lanceolate, spreading, rigid: fls. scarlet-red (or orange-scarlet), usually solitary, axillary in one of the 2 opposite axils, thus making a long leafy unilateral spike; corolla-tube long and slender, deeply lobed into 4 spreading or recurved parts. Mex. R.H. 1872:50. Autumn and winter in S. Calif., Aug. and Sept. in France. var. compacta, franceschi, is a very compact low bush of emerald-green color and covered all summer with orange-scarlet fls.; comes true from seed.— Not to be confounded with Justicia quadrifaria, Wall.

Of the justicias appearing in American lists, only J. furcata, Jacq. (Adhatoda furcata, DC.) seems now to be retained in the genus. Herbaceous, pubescent, the st. erect and terete: lvs. oblong-oval, attenuate to petiole: fls. small, in short aggregated axillary spikes which are often geminate, the bracts linear-lanceolate; color of fls. purple and white; upper lip 2-fid, the lower 3-fid and broad-convex. S. Mex.—Said to seed itself freely in S. Calif., but to be of little value.

J. calloricha and J. ealycotricha, Hort., see Schaueria.—J. flava, Hort., and J. flatfcoma, Lindl. equals Schaueria.

''Justicia americana'' (American Water-willow), is native to eastern [[North America]] north to southern [[Ontario]]; it is the hardiest species in the genus, hardy to USDA Plant Zone 4. ''Justicia ovata'' (Looseflower Water-willow) occurs nearly as far north, reaching [[Michigan]].

''Justicia brandegeeana'' (formerly ''Beloperone guttata'', commonly called Shrimp Plant) is native to [[Mexico]]. It is hardy to −4 °C but will often recover in the spring after freezing back in USDA Plant Zone 8a.

''Justicia carnea'' (formerly ''Jacobinia carnea'', common names including Brazilian Plume Flower, Flamingo Flower, and Jacobinia) is native to [[South America]] in southern [[Brazil]], [[Paraguay]] and northern [[Argentina]]. It is hardy to −2 °C but will often recover in the spring after freezing back in USDA Plant Zone 8a.

''Justicia procumbens''-procumbent herb,stem angular,swollen at nodes,leaves ovate,small,inflorescence terminal spike,flowers small,purple,stamens didynamous,inserted,stigma shortly bilobed
