Which plant has more species, Caralluma or Eucomis?
Eucomis Eucomis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae, native to southern Africa. Most species of this genus are commonly referred to as pineapple flowers or pineapple lilies. They are bulbous perennials with basal rosettes of leaves with stout stems covered in star-shaped flowers with a tuft of green bracts at the top, superficially resembling a pineapple – hence the common names.
Xerocomellus Xerocomellus is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae. The genus, as it was described in 2008, contained 12 species. However "X. rubellus" and "X. engelii" were transferred to the new genus "Hortiboletus" and "X. armeniacus" was transferred to the new genus "Rheubarbariboletus" in 2015. Molecular analysis supports the distinction of "Xerocomellus" species from "Boletus" and "Xerocomus", within which these species were formerly contained. "Xerocomellus" in fact is only distantly related to "Xerocomus" and is most closely related to "Tylopilus", "Boletus" sensu stricto, "Porphyrellus", "Strobilomyces", and "Xanthoconium".
