What genus contains more species, Cuphea or Mussaenda?
Cuphea Cuphea is a genus containing about 260 species of annual and perennial flowering plants native to warm temperate to tropical regions of the Americas. The species range from low-growing herbaceous plants to semi-woody shrubs up to 2 m tall. Commonly they are known as cupheas, or, in the case of some species, as cigar plants. The generic name is derived from the Greek word κυφος ("kyphos"), meaning "bent," "curved," or "humped."
Metrosideros Metrosideros is a genus of approximately 60 trees, shrubs, and vines mostly found in the Pacific region in the Myrtaceae family. Most of the tree forms are small, but some are exceptionally large, the New Zealand species in particular. The name derives from the Ancient Greek "metra" or "heartwood" and "sideron" or "iron". Perhaps the best-known species are the pōhutukawa ("M. excelsa"), northern rātā ("M. robusta"), and southern rātā ("M. umbellata") of New Zealand, and "ʻ ōhiʻ a lehua", ("M. polymorpha"), from the Hawaiian Islands.
