They are known for having intense purple flowers. The genus is named for the English botanist William Vernon. There are numerous distinct subgenera and subsections in this genus. This has led some botanists to divide this large genus into several distinct genera. For instance, the "Flora of North America" only recognizes about 20 species in "Vernonia" sensu stricto, 17 of which are in North America north of Mexico, with the others being found in South America.

Tigridia Tigridia , the peacock flowers, tiger-flowers or shell flowers, is a genus of bulbous or cormous plants, belonging to the family Iridaceae. They have large showy flowers and one species, "Tigridia pavonia", is often cultivated for this. The approximately thirty five species in this family grow in the Western Hemisphere, from Mexico to Chile. The tigridia flower is short lived, each often blooming for only one day, but often several flowers will bloom from the same stalk. Usually they are dormant during the winter dry-season. Its roots are edible and were eaten by the Aztecs of Mexico who called it "cacomitl" and its flower "ocēlōxōchitl" "Jaguar flower". The genus name means "tiger-like" and alludes to the coloration and spotting of the flowers of the type species "Tigridia pavonia".

Ranunculus Ranunculus is a genus of about 500 species (Ranunculaceae)] of plants in the Ranunculaceae. Members of the genus include the buttercups, spearworts, and water crowfoots. The petals are often highly , especially in yellow species, owing to a special coloration mechanism: the petal's upper surface is very smooth causing a mirror-like reflection. The flash aids in attracting pollinating insects and temperature regulation of the flower's reproductive organs. Buttercups usually flower in the spring, but flowers may be found throughout the summer, especially where the plants are growing as opportunistic colonizers, as in the case of garden weeds.

Platydesma Platydesma is a genus of plants in family Rutaceae. Evidence from 2009 indicates that "Platydesma" is nested within the related genus "Melicope" and is sister to all Hawaiian "Melicope" species. And while "Melicope" species are dioecious (individual plants only bear either male or female flowers), the flowers of "Platydesma" are hermaphroditic, suggesting a rare evolutionary reversion away from dioecy in "Platydesma". While they have no medicinal purposes; the board of water supply states that they can be used for a shrub.

Uvularia Uvularia is a genus of plants in the family Colchicaceae, close to the lily family (Liliaceae). They are commonly called bellworts, bellflowers or merrybells. The genus name is derived from the Latin "ūvula" meaning "little grape," likely because of the way the flowers hang downward. For the same reason "Uvularia" may also refer to the similarly derived palatine uvula, which hangs down from the soft palate in the mouth. This unusual flower is found in April and May, often on wooded slopes or in ravines and it spreads by stolons, or stoloniferous rhizomes. The plants are usually 18 to 24 inches (45–60 cm) in height and bear one or two flowers which hang downward from the axils of the leaves.
