Which genus of plant had more species identified with it in the past, Carissa or Aruncus?
Carissa Carissa is a genus of shrubs or small trees native to tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Australia and Asia. Until recently about 100 species were listed, but most of them have been relegated to the status of synonyms or assigned to other genera, such as "Acokanthera".
Pinguicula alpina Pinguicula alpina, also known as the alpine butterwort, is species of carnivorous plant native to high latitudes and altitudes throughout Eurasia. It is one of the most widespread "Pinguicula" species, being found in mountainous regions from Iceland to the Himalayas. Native to cold climates, it is a temperate species, forming prostrate rosettes of green to red leaves and white flowers in the summer and a tight hibernaculum during a period of winter dormancy in the winter. Like all members of the genus, "P. alpina" uses mucilagenous glands covering the surface of its summer leaves to attract, trap, and digest arthropod prey.
