Adenanthos Macropodianus
''Adenanthos macropodianus'', commonly known as gland flower, or Kangaroo Island gland flower, is a species of shrub in the family Proteaceae. It is endemic to Kangaroo Island in South Australia. First published as a variety of '' A. sericeus'' in 1870, it was promoted to species rank in 1978. Description ''Adenanthos macropodianus'' has an erect habit, usually growing to 1 metre (3 ft) in height although plants as high as 3 metres (10 ft) have been recorded. The leaves, which are up to 15 mm (0.6 in) long, are silvery, and deeply lobed into nine or more soft, hairy laciniae about half a millimetre in diameter. The flowers, which appear throughout the year, have a pink to red (or rarely yellow) perianth and a style up to 30 mm long. Taxonomy Early botanical collectors of this taxon include Ferdinand von Mueller and Frederick George Waterhouse. Mueller regarded it as a distinct species, provisionally labelling it ''A. barbata'' in his herbariu ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Adenanthos Sericeus
''Adenanthos sericeus'', commonly known as woolly bush, is a shrub native to the south coast of Western Australia. It has bright red but small and obscure flowers, and very soft, deeply divided, hairy leaves. Description ''Adenanthos sericeus'' mostly grows as an upright, spreading shrub but occasionally takes the habit of a small tree up to 5 m (16 ft) tall. It has erect branches that are covered in short hairs when young, but these are lost with age. Leaves may be up to 40 mm (1.6 in) long, and repeatedly divide by threes into from 5 to 50 narrow laciniae, circular in cross-section, with a diameter of less than 0.5 mm (0.02 in). Flowers are red, and occur alone or in small groups, hidden within the foliage at the end of branches. As with most other Proteaceae, each flower is composed of a tubular perianth of four united tepals, ending in a structure called a ''limb''; and a single pistil, the stigma of which is initially trapped inside the ...

Macropus
''Macropus'' is a marsupial genus in the family Macropodidae. It has two extant species of large terrestrial kangaroos. The term is derived from the Ancient Greek μάκρος, ''makros'' "long" and πους, ''pous'' "foot". Thirteen known extinct species are recognised. The type species is the eastern grey kangaroo. Taxonomy In 2019, a reassessment of macropod taxonomy determined that ''Osphranter'' and ''Notamacropus'', formerly considered subgenera, should be moved to the genus level. This change was accepted by the Australian Faunal Directory in 2020. Extant Species Fossils A currently-unnamed Pleistocene ''Macropus'' species from Australia was the largest kangaroo ever, with an estimated mass of around 274 kg (~604 lb). * †''Macropus dryas'' * †''Macropus gouldi'' * †''Macropus narada'' * †''Macropus piltonensis'' * †''Macropus rama'' * †''Macropus woodsi'' * †''Macropus pavana'' * †''Macropus thor'' * †'' Macropus ferragus'' * †''Macropus m ...

Adenanthos Dobagii
''Adenanthos dobagii'', commonly known as Fitzgerald woollybush, is a shrub in the family Proteaceae. It grows to a mere 50 cm ( ft) high, with crowded small silvery leaves and insignificant pink or cream flowers. It occurs only in southwestern Australia, where it is found in Fitzgerald River National Park on the south coast. Description ''Adenanthos dobagii'' grows as a small open shrub up to half a metre ( ft) high. The leaves, which are usually crowded together at the ends of branches, are from long, and deeply lobed into laciniae. They always have three primary segments, with the outer two segments usually further dividing into two, resulting in five laciniae. They appear silvery in colour, but this is due to a dense covering of hairs. Flowers occur in groups of three, borne at the ends of branches. They are pale pink or cream, and only about long, making them the smallest flowers in the genus. Overall the species is similar in appearance to '' A. flav ...

Nelson's Taxonomic Arrangement Of Adenanthos
Ernest Charles Nelson's taxonomic arrangement of ''Adenanthos'' was the first modern-day arrangement of that plant genus. First published in his 1978 ''Brunonia'' article "A taxonomic revision of the genus ''Adenanthos'' (Proteaceae)", it superseded the arrangement of George Bentham, which had stood for over a hundred years. It was updated by Nelson in his 1995 treatment for the ''Flora of Australia'' series of monographs. Background ''Adenanthos'' is a genus of around 30 species in the plant family Proteaceae. Endemic to southern Australia, they are evergreen woody shrubs with solitary flowers that are pollinated by birds and, if fertilised, develop into achenes. They are not much cultivated. Common names of species often include one of the terms ''woollybush'', ''jugflower'' and ''stick-in-the-jug''. The first known botanical collection of ''Adenanthos'' was made by Archibald Menzies during the September 1791 visit of the Vancouver Expedition to King George Sound on the sout ...

Masculine Gender
In linguistics, grammatical gender system is a specific form of noun class system, where nouns are assigned with gender categories that are often not related to their real-world qualities. In languages with grammatical gender, most or all nouns inherently carry one value of the grammatical category called ''gender''; the values present in a given language (of which there are usually two or three) are called the ''genders'' of that language. Whereas some authors use the term "grammatical gender" as a synonym of "noun class", others use different definitions for each; many authors prefer "noun classes" when none of the inflections in a language relate to sex. Gender systems are used in approximately one half of the world's languages. According to one definition: "Genders are classes of nouns reflected in the behaviour of associated words." Overview Languages with grammatical gender usually have two to four different genders, but some are attested with up to 20. Common gender ...
