Diploporus
''Diploporus'' is an extinct genus of conifers in the yew family Taxaceae, containing the single species ''Diploporus torreyoides'' known from the middle Eocene of north central Oregon and the Late Paleocene of south central North Dakota. The species was first described from a series of isolated fossil seeds in chert. History and classification ''Diploporus torreyoides'' has been identified from a single location in the Clarno Formation, the Clarno nut beds, type locality for both the formation and the species. The nut beds are approximately east of the unincorporated community of Clarno, Oregon and currently considered to be middle Eocene in age, based on averaging zircon fission track radiometric dating which yielded an age of 43.6 and 43.7 ± 10 million years ago and Argon–argon dating radiometric dating which yielded a 36.38 ± 1.31 to 46.8 ± 3.36 mya date. The average of the dates resulted in an age range of 45 to 43 mya. The beds are composed of silica and calcium ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sargentodoxa Globosa
''Sargentodoxa'' is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Lardizabalaceae. It only contains one known species, Sargentodoxa cuneata (Oliv.) Rehder & E.H.Wilson Its native range is China (north-Central, south-Central and southeast) to Indo-China. It is also found in Hainan, Laos and Vietnam. The genus name of ''Sargentodoxa'' is in honour of Charles Sprague Sargent (1841–1927), an American botanist. He was appointed in 1872 as the first director of Harvard University's Arnold Arboretum in Boston, Massachusetts Massachusetts (Massachusett: ''Muhsachuweesut Massachusett_writing_systems.html" ;"title="nowiki/> məhswatʃəwiːsət.html" ;"title="Massachusett writing systems">məhswatʃəwiːsət">Massachusett writing systems">məhswatʃəwiːsət'' En ....

Lardizabalaceae
Lardizabalaceae is a family of flowering plants. The family has been universally recognized by taxonomists, including the APG II system (2003; unchanged from the APG system of 1998), which places it in the order Ranunculales, in the clade eudicots. The family consist of 7 genera with about 40 known species of woody plants. All are lianas, save ''Decaisnea'', which are pachycaul shrubs. The leaves are alternate, and compound (usually palmate), with pulvinate leaflets. The flowers are often in drooping racemes. They are found in eastern Asia, from the Himalayas to Japan, with the exception of the genera ''Lardizabala'' and ''Boquila'', both native to southern South America (Chile, and ''Boquila'' also in adjacent western Argentina Argentina (), officially the Argentine Republic ( es, link=no, República Argentina), is a country in the southern half of South America.

Ascosphaera
''Ascosphaera'' is a genus of fungi in the family Ascosphaeraceae. It was described in 1955 by mycologists Charles F. Spiltoir and Lindsay S. Olive. Members of the genus are insect pathogens. The type species, '' A. apis'', causes chalkbrood disease in honey bees. The reproductive ascospore An ascus (; ) is the sexual spore-bearing cell produced in ascomycete fungi. Each ascus usually contains eight ascospores (or octad), produced by meiosis followed, in most species, by a mitotic cell division. However, asci in some genera or ...s of the fungus are produced within a unique structure, the spore cyst, or sporocyst.

Cannabaceae
Cannabaceae is a small family (biology), family of flowering plants, known as the hemp family. As now Circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed, the family includes about 170 species grouped in about 11 genera, including ''Cannabis'' (hemp), ''Humulus'' (hops) and ''Celtis'' (hackberries). ''Celtis'' is by far the largest genus, containing about 100 species.Stevens, P.F. (2001 onwards"Cannabaceae" ''Angiosperm Phylogeny Website'', retrieved 2014-02-25 Cannabaceae is a member of the Rosales. Members of the family are erect or climbing plants with petalless flowers and dry, one-seeded fruits. Hemp (''Cannabis'') and hop (''Humulus'') are the most economically important species. Other than a shared evolutionary origin, members of the family have few common characteristics; some are trees (e.g. ''Celtis''), others are herbaceous plants (e.g. ''Cannabis''). Description Members of this family can be trees (e.g. ''Celtis''), erect herbs (e.g. ''Cannabis''), or twining herbs (e.g. ''Hu ...
