Herniaria

== Translingual == === Etymology === Possibly from New Latin *herniāria f (“herniary, relating to a hernia”). This etymology may draw a conceptual cognate with English rupturewort, since hernias are a medical disorder in which a part of the body ruptures into elsewhere abnormally. Both are possibly named after the genus' usage to treat hernias. If so, cognate with English herniary. === Proper noun === Herniaria f A taxonomic genus within the family Caryophyllaceae – rupturewort. ==== Hypernyms ==== (genus): Eukaryota – superkingdom; Plantae – kingdom; Viridiplantae – subkingdom; Streptophyta – infrakingdom; Embryophyta – superphylum; Tracheophyta – phylum; Spermatophytina – subphylum; angiosperms, eudicots, core eudicots – clades; Caryophyllales – order; Caryophyllaceae – family; Paronychieae - tribe ==== Hyponyms ==== (genus): Hernaria glabra (burstwort) - type species === References === Herniaria on Wikipedia.Wikipedia Herniaria on Wikispecies.Wikispecies Category:Herniaria on Wikimedia Commons.Wikimedia Commons
