  • FLAME ACANTHUS OR HUMMINGBIRD BUSH Anisacanthus Quadrifidus Var
    FLAME ACANTHUS OR HUMMINGBIRD BUSH Anisacanthus quadrifidus var. wrightii (A. wrightii) Characteristics Type: Perennial Maintenance: Low Zone: 7 to 10 Flower: Showy Height: 3.00 to 5.00 feet Attracts: Hummingbirds, Butterflies Spread: 3.00 to 4.00 feet Other: Winter Interest Bloom Time: June to September Tolerate: Deer, Drought, Clay Soil, Bloom Description: Reddish orange Shallow-Rocky Soil Sun: Full sun Texas Native Water: Dry Culture From midsummer through frost, flame acanthus is covered with long, slender, red or orange blooms that hummingbirds love. It is a drought tolerant, heat-loving small shrub that works as well in the perennial border as it does as an informal hedge or specimen plant. The bark is light and flaky and makes an interesting winter and early spring accent. Flame acanthus is late to come out in the spring, and benefits from periodic shearing or even severe cutting back in early spring. It grows in the Edwards Plateau on rocky banks and floodplains, but is adaptable to sunny, well-drained exposures throughout the state, even Houston. It is a good choice for sites with poor soils and reflected heat - although supplemental water in dry summer months will encourage flowering. Best grown in medium to dry, well-draining soils in full sun, but is adaptable to many soil types including poor, rocky soils and heavy, clay soils. Tolerant of drought, and takes well to pot culture. Noteworthy Characteristics Anisacanthus quadrifidus var. wrightii, is an upright, deciduous shrub reaching up to 5' tall and 4' wide with an informal, spreading appearance. It is native to extreme south-central Texas and adjacent northern Mexico, where it is found growing on rocky, calcareous slopes and floodplains.

It is closely 28 related to Andrographis which is also mainly distributed in India. Haplanthodes differs 29 from Andrographis by the presence of cladodes in the inflorescences, sub actinomorphic 30 flowers, stamens included within the corolla tube, pouched stamens and oblate pollen 31 grains.

Historical Setting of the Guianan Plant Heritage The Guianas are embedded high in the green shoulder of northern South America, an area once known as the "Wild Coast". They are the only non-Latin American countries in South America, and are situated just north of the Equator in a configuration with the Amazon River of Brazil to the south and the Orinoco River of Venezuela to the west. The three Guianas comprise, from west to east, the countries of Guyana (area: 83,000 square miles; capital: Georgetown), Surinam (area: 63, 037 square miles; capital: Paramaribo) and French Guiana (area: 34, 740 square miles; capital: Cayenne). Perhaps the earliest physical contact between Europeans and the present-day Guianas occurred in 1500 when the Spanish navigator Vincente Yanez Pinzon, after discovering the Amazon River, sailed northwest and entered the Oyapock River, which is now the eastern boundary of French Guiana.
