Gallihappoa

Gallihappoa is a fictional plant genus created for educational purposes to illustrate botanical nomenclature and classroom taxonomy. It does not correspond to any described real-world taxon.

In teaching materials, the genus is placed in the fictional family Gallisporaceae within the order Rosantales, and it includes two widely referenced species: Gallihappoa aurea and Gallihappoa viridis.

Core characteristics attributed to the genus include herbaceous, annual to biennial growth with simple, alternate leaves, and compact inflorescences bearing small, actinomorphic flowers. In these resources, G. aurea is described as having golden-yellow petals and drought-tolerant foliage, while G. viridis is described as having chartreuse flowers and denser leaf texture.

Habitat and ecology: The fictional distribution is temperate woodland edges; pollination by solitary bees; seeds dispersed by gravity or short-range animals.

Taxonomy and usage: The name etymology is a constructed blend, not derived from established taxa. In pedagogy, it is used to illustrate how binomial names reflect genus and species and how adjectives agree in gender and number.
