Acacia Nana
''Acacia nana'', also known as the small red-leaved wattle, is a shrub belonging to the genus ''Acacia'' and the subgenus ''Phyllodineae'' where it is endemism, endemic to eastern Australia. Description The shrub typically grows to a height of and has reddish to brown branchlets that are usually hairy. Like most species of ''Acacia'' it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The evergreen phyllodes have a straight narrowly elliptic to oblanceolate shaped phyllodes with an excentric mucro. The Glabrousness (botany), glabrous to sub-glabrous phyllodes are in length and wide with a single nerve per face and age to a red colour. It has racemose inflorescences with spherical flower-heads that contain 7 to 12 golden coloured flowers. Following flowering it produces chartaceous and glabrous seed pods that have a narrowly oblong to linear shape with a length of around and a width of . The dark brown seeds inside have an elliptic shape and a length of about . Distribution It is native ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Australasian Virtual Herbarium
The ''Australasian Virtual Herbarium'' (AVH) is an online resource that allows access to plant specimen data held by various Australian and New Zealand herbaria. It is part of the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA), and was formed by the amalgamation of ''Australia's Virtual Herbarium'' and ''NZ Virtual Herbarium''. As of 12 August 2014, more than five million specimens of the 8 million and upwards specimens available from participating institutions have been databased. Uses This resource is used by academics, students, and anyone interested in research in botany in Australia or New Zealand, since each record tells all that is known about the specimen: where and when it was collected; by whom; its current identification together with the botanist who identified it; and information on habitat and associated species. ALA post processes the original herbarium data, giving further fields with respect to taxonomy and quality of the data. When interrogating individual specimen record ...

List Of Acacia Species
Several Cladistics, cladistic analyses have shown that the genus ''Acacia sensu lato, Acacia'' is not monophyletic. While the subg. ''Acacia'' and subg. ''Phyllodinae'' are monophyletic, subg. ''Aculeiferum'' is not. This subgenus consists of three clades. Therefore, the following list of ''Acacia'' species cannot be maintained as a single entity, and must either be split up, or broadened to include species previously not in the genus. This genus has been provisionally divided into 5 genus, genera, ''Acacia'', ''Vachellia'', ''Senegalia'', ''Acaciella'' and ''Mariosousa''. The proposed type species of ''Acacia'' is ''Acacia penninervis''. Which of these segregate genera is to retain the name ''Acacia'' has been controversial. The genus was previously typified with the African species ''Acacia scorpioides'' (L.) W.F.Wright, a synonym of ''Acacia nilotica'' (L.) Delile. Under the original typification, the name ''Acacia'' would stay with the group of species currently recognized ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cullen Bullen, New South Wales
Cullen Bullen is a village in New South Wales, Australia. It is located on Mudgee Road, 168 km north-west of Sydney, 28 km north of Lithgow. At the 2016 census, Cullen Bullen had a population of 279 people, up from 198 ten years earlier. The Cullen Bullen village is sustained by local mines and the Mount Piper Power Station. In the language of the Wiradjuri people, who occupied the district prior to white settlement; the word "cullen bullen" is believed to mean "Lyrebird". The first European in the area was James Blackman, who was surveying a roadway from what is now Wallerawang to Mudgee, in 1821. Blackman was followed in 1822 by William Lawson and later Allan Cunningham in 1822–23. Robert Dulhuntythe subsequent founder of Dubbotook up the first land grant in the area in 1828. He built a homestead on land which now lies on the back road from Cullen Bullen to Portland Portland most commonly refers to: * Portland, Oregon, the largest city in the state of Orego ...

Blue Mountains (New South Wales)
The Blue Mountains are a mountainous region and a mountain range located in New South Wales, Australia. The region borders on Sydney's metropolitan area, its foothills starting about west of centre of the state capital, close to Penrith on the outskirts of Greater Sydney region. The public's understanding of the extent of the Blue Mountains is varied, as it forms only part of an extensive mountainous area associated with the Great Dividing Range. As defined in 1970, the Blue Mountains region is bounded by the Nepean and Hawkesbury rivers in the east, the Coxs River and Lake Burragorang to the west and south, and the Wolgan and Colo rivers to the north. Geologically, it is situated in the central parts of the Sydney Basin. The ''Blue Mountains Range'' comprises a range of mountains, plateau escarpments extending off the Great Dividing Range about northwest of Wolgan Gap in a generally southeasterly direction for about , terminating at . For about two-thirds of its len ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Seed Pod
This page provides a glossary of plant morphology. Botanists and other biologists who study plant morphology use a number of different terms to classify and identify plant organs and parts that can be observed using no more than a handheld magnifying lens. This page provides help in understanding the numerous other pages describing plants by their various taxa. The accompanying page—Plant morphology—provides an overview of the science of the external form of plants. There is also an alphabetical list: Glossary of botanical terms. In contrast, this page deals with botanical terms in a systematic manner, with some illustrations, and organized by plant anatomy and function in plant physiology. This glossary primarily includes terms that deal with vascular plants (ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms), particularly flowering plants (angiosperms). Non-vascular plants (bryophytes), with their different evolutionary background, tend to have separate terminology. Although plant morpholo ...

Inflorescence
An inflorescence is a group or cluster of flowers arranged on a stem that is composed of a main branch or a complicated arrangement of branches. Morphologically, it is the modified part of the shoot of seed plants where flowers are formed on the axis of a plant. The modifications can involve the length and the nature of the internodes and the phyllotaxis, as well as variations in the proportions, compressions, swellings, adnations, connations and reduction of main and secondary axes. One can also define an inflorescence as the reproductive portion of a plant that bears a cluster of flowers in a specific pattern. The stem holding the whole inflorescence is called a peduncle. The major axis (incorrectly referred to as the main stem) above the peduncle bearing the flowers or secondary branches is called the rachis. The stalk of each flower in the inflorescence is called a pedicel. A flower that is not part of an inflorescence is called a solitary flower and its stalk is al ...
