01Narrative

Guichenotia macrantha, commonly known as large-flowered guichenotia, is a shrub in the family Malvaceae. It is endemic to Western Australia. Plants grow to between 0.2 and 1.5 metres high, and produce blue-purple or pink flowers from May to September in the species' native range. The species was formally described in 1846 by Russian botanist Nikolai Turczaninow. Guichenotia macrantha is currently being sold in the US cut flower market as "Aussie Bells" a woody flowering shrub. Often floral products are marketed with a common name, rather than the correct botanical name.

05DNA & barcodingmolecular

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Guichenotia macrantha has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Guichenotia macrantha carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.

Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged

2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants. Click any value below to see the underlying records and sources.
