Plum
A plum is a fruit of some species in ''Prunus'' subg. ''Prunus''''.'' Dried plums are called prunes. History Plums may have been one of the first fruits domesticated by humans. Three of the most abundantly cultivated species are not found in the wild, only around human settlements: ''Prunus domestica'' has been traced to East European and Caucasian mountains, while ''Prunus salicina'' and '' Prunus simonii'' originated in China. Plum remains have been found in Neolithic age archaeological sites along with olives, grapes and figs. According to Ken Albala, plums originated in Iran. They were brought to Britain from Asia. An article on plum tree cultivation in Andalusia (southern Spain) appears in Ibn al-'Awwam's 12th-century agricultural work, ''Book on Agriculture''. Etymology and names The name plum derived from Old English ''plume'' "plum, plum tree", borrowed from Germanic or Middle Dutch, derived from Latin ' and ultimately from Ancient Greek ''proumnon'', itself belie ...

Juglans
Walnut trees are any species of tree in the plant genus ''Juglans'', the type genus of the family Juglandaceae, the seeds of which are referred to as walnuts. All species are deciduous trees, tall, with pinnate leaves , with 5–25 leaflets; the shoots have chambered pith, a character shared with the wingnuts (''Pterocarya''), but not the hickories (''Carya'') in the same family. The 21 species in the genus range across the north temperate Old World from southeast Europe east to Japan, and more widely in the New World from southeast Canada west to California and south to Argentina. Edible walnuts, which are consumed worldwide, are usually harvested from cultivated varieties of the species ''Juglans regia''. China produces half of the world total of walnuts. Etymology The common name ''walnut'' derives from Old English ''wealhhnutu'', literally 'foreign nut' (from ''wealh'' 'foreign' + ''hnutu'' 'nut'), because it was introduced from Gaul and Italy. The Latin name for the wal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Georges Delacroix
Édouard Georges Delacroix (24 January 1858 in Montrouge – 1 November 1907 in Paris) was a French mycologist and plant pathologist. Beginning in 1886 he worked in the laboratory of plant pathology at the Institut nationale agronomique, where he later served as a lecturer of descriptive botany (from 1895) and plant pathology (from 1898). In 1899 he was named director of the Station de Pathologie végétale in Paris. His name is associated with the mycological species ''Aspergillus delacroixii'' (synonym, ''Aspergillus nidulans'' var. ''echinulatus''). Selected works * ''Espèces nouvelles observées au Laboratoire de Pathologie végétale'' (1893) – New species observed at the laboratory of plant pathology. * ''Les maladies des noyers en France''; with Édouard Ernest Prillieux (1898) – Diseases of walnut trees in France. * ''Atlas de botanique descriptive comprenant l'étude des familles les plus importantes au point de vue économique (cryptogames et phan ...

Roesleria Hypogaea
''Sclerophora pallida'' is an epiphytic lichen with stipitated acomata. In Europe, it is mostly found on broadleaf deciduous trees (e.g. '' Fraxinus excelsior'', ''Ulmus'' spp., ''Acer platanoides''). It is rare on young trees and is mostly common only on trees older than 70 years. Because of that, the species is considered to be close to being threatened by extinction in Norway Norway, officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a Nordic country in Northern Europe, the mainland territory of which comprises the western and northernmost portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula.

Orchid
Orchids are plants that belong to the family Orchidaceae (), a diverse and widespread group of flowering plants with blooms that are often colourful and fragrant. Along with the Asteraceae, they are one of the two largest families of flowering plants. The Orchidaceae have about 28,000 currently accepted species, distributed in about 763 genera. (See ''External links'' below). The determination of which family is larger is still under debate, because verified data on the members of such enormous families are continually in flux. Regardless, the number of orchid species is nearly equal to the number of bony fishes, more than twice the number of bird species, and about four times the number of mammal species. The family encompasses about 6–11% of all species of seed plants. The largest genera are ''Bulbophyllum'' (2,000 species), ''Epidendrum'' (1,500 species), ''Dendrobium'' (1,400 species) and ''Pleurothallis'' (1,000 species). It also includes ''Vanilla'' (the genus of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Amaryllidaceae
The Amaryllidaceae are a family of herbaceous, mainly perennial and bulbous (rarely rhizomatous) flowering plants in the monocot order Asparagales. The family takes its name from the genus ''Amaryllis'' and is commonly known as the amaryllis family. The leaves are usually linear, and the flowers are usually bisexual and symmetrical, arranged in umbels on the stem. The petals and sepals are undifferentiated as tepals, which may be fused at the base into a floral tube. Some also display a corona. Allyl sulfide compounds produce the characteristic odour of the onion subfamily (Allioideae). The family, which was originally created in 1805, now contains about 1600 species, divided into about 70–75 genera, 17 tribes and three subfamilies, the Agapanthoideae (agapanthus), Allioideae (onions and chives) and Amaryllidoideae (amaryllis, daffodils, snowdrops). Over time, it has seen much reorganisation and at various times was combined with the related Liliaceae. Since 2009, a very broa ...

Prillieuxina
''Prillieuxina'' is a genus of fungi in the Asterinaceae family. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the class is unknown ('' incertae sedis''), and it has not yet been placed with certainty into any order. The genus name of ''Prillieuxina'' is in honour of Édouard Ernest Prillieux (1829-1915), who was a French botanist and agronomist known for his work with plant diseases. The genus was circumscribed by Gabriel Arnaud in Ann. École Natl. Agric. Montpellier ser.2, vol.16 on pages 161-162 in 1918. Species As accepted by Species Fungorum; * '' Prillieuxina amazonica'' * '' Prillieuxina amboinensis'' * '' Prillieuxina anamirtae'' * ''Prillieuxina aquifoliacearum'' * ''Prillieuxina ardisiae'' * ''Prillieuxina argyreiae'' * ''Prillieuxina asterinoides'' * ''Prillieuxina baccharidincola'' * ''Prillieuxina calami'' * ''Prillieuxina calotheca'' * ''Prillieuxina capizensis'' * ''Prillieuxina cinchonae'' * ''Prillieuxina citricola'' * ''Prillieuxina cl ...

Career Hans Sydow worked at the Dresdner Bank in Berlin between 1904 and 1937 rising to divisional manager in 1922. Before, during and after this time he also pursued a career as a mycologist. Together with his father he co-authored many works before his father's death in 1925, most substantial of which were four volumes of monographs on the Uredinales (now called ''Pucciniales''), ' (''Monograph on the Uredinales, description of known species and outline of systematics''). The first volume covered the genus Puccinia and the second the genus Uromyces. The third volume described the systematics and taxonomy used to classify the family and provided a key as well as further descriptions of other genera including Gymnosporangium and Phragmidium.
