Plant
Plants are predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. Historically, the plant kingdom encompassed all living things that were not animals, and included algae and fungi; however, all current definitions of Plantae exclude the fungi and some algae, as well as the prokaryotes (the archaea and bacteria). By one definition, plants form the clade Viridiplantae (Latin name for "green plants") which is sister of the Glaucophyta, and consists of the green algae and Embryophyta (land plants). The latter includes the flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, ferns and their allies, hornworts, liverworts, and mosses. Most plants are multicellular organisms. Green plants obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis by primary chloroplasts that are derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria. Their chloroplasts contain chlorophylls a and b, which gives them their green color. Some plants are parasitic or mycotrophic and have lost the ...

Odontadenia Macrantha
''Odontadenia macrantha'' is a vine of the family Apocynaceae native to Central and South America. The cylindrical stem is either woody or just woody at the base. The smooth oval leaves are long by wide, and sit on long petioles. They are oppositely arranged on the stem. The orange or yellow flowers are in diameter with a long tube. However, flower shape and colour can vary considerably. Flowering takes place all year, with a peak from December to August, while fruiting peaks from April to October; the smooth seed pods are long by wide. It was originally described as ''Echites macrantha'' by Austrian botanists Johann Jacob Roemer and Josef August Schultes in 1819 from material from Brazil. The species name is derived from the Ancient Greek words ''makros'' "long" and ''anther'' "flower(ing)". George Bentham described it as ''Odontadenia speciosa'' in 1841 from material collected from Guyana in 1837. It is the type species In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''sp ...

Apocynaceae
Apocynaceae (from ''Apocynum'', Greek for "dog-away") is a family of flowering plants that includes trees, shrubs, herbs, stem succulents, and vines, commonly known as the dogbane family, because some taxa were used as dog poison Members of the family are native to the European, Asian, African, Australian, and American tropics or subtropics, with some temperate members. The former family Asclepiadaceae (now known as Asclepiadoideae) is considered a subfamily of Apocynaceae and contains 348 genera. A list of Apocynaceae genera may be found here. Many species are tall trees found in tropical forests, but some grow in tropical dry (xeric) environments. Also perennial herbs from temperate zones occur. Many of these plants have milky latex, and many species are poisonous if ingested, the family being rich in genera containing alkaloids and cardiac glycosides, those containing the latter often finding use as arrow poisons. Some genera of Apocynaceae, such as '' Adenium'', bleed clea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
