Which genus of plant life is more palm like, Pandanus or Eriogonum?
Eriogonum Eriogonum is the scientific name for a genus of flowering plants in the family Polygonaceae. The genus is found in North America and is known as wild buckwheat. This is a highly species-rich genus, and indications are that active speciation is continuing. It includes some common wildflowers such as the California buckwheat ("Eriogonum fasciculatum").
Iriartea Iriartea is a genus in the palm family Arecaceae, native to Central and South America. The best-known species – and probably the only one – is Iriartea deltoidea, which is found from Nicaragua south into Bolivia and a great portion of Western Amazonian basin. It is the most common tree in many forests in which it occurs. It is known by such names as bombona (which can also refer to other palms, e.g. "Attalea regia") or cacho de vaca (which can refer to many other plants, like the Bignoniaceae "Godmania aesculifolia" or the orchid "Myrmecophila humboldtii"). In the Murui Huitoto language of southwestern Colombia, it is called "jɨagɨna" or "jɨaìgɨna", in western Ecuador it is known as pambil and in Peru it is known as the pona palm.
