Azanza Lampas
''Azanza lampas'' is an Asian shrub in the family Malvaceae and tribe Gossypieae; its native range is tropical and subtropical Asia. It has yellow flowers, grows up to 3 metres and in Vietnam it is called ''Tra nhỏ''. Uses Its roots and fruits are traditionally used to treat gonorrhea and syphilis. The paste made from its roots is used by the Korku tribe of Maharashtra and Nepal to cure jaundice Jaundice, also known as icterus, is a yellowish or greenish pigmentation of the skin and sclera due to high bilirubin levels.

Azanza Thespesioides
''Azanza thespedioides'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae. The species is endemic to Australia, and is found in Western Australia, the Northern Territory, and Queensland. It grows at elevations up to 380 meters in open forests and around thickets. The species was first described in 2016. In 2020, a new variety of the species, var. ''flaviflora'' was described. This variety is found in Western Australia, while the original var. ''thespesioides'' is found in the Northern Territory. Description The species is a flowering and fruiting shrub that grows 1–2 meters tall. The leaves are 7–9 centimeters long and 5.5–7.5 cm wide with leafstalks 4–6 cm long. When the plant is young, both sides of the leaf are covered in hairs. There is a large gland near the base of the leaf on its underside along the midrib vein, branching off which there are five or six secondary veins. There are small, narrow stipule growths at the base of the leaf. The stems have s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thespesia
''Thespesia'' is a genus of 13 flowering shrubs and trees in the ''Hibiscus'' family, Malvaceae, although within the family they are more closely related to cotton plants (''Gossypium''). The genus is distributed from the South Pacific through Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. Selected species *'' Thespesia beatensis'' (Urb.)

Species
In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology, behaviour or ecological niche. In addition, paleontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. However, only about 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a two-part name, a "binomial". The first part of a binomial is the genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specific name or the specific epithet (in botanical nomenclature, also sometimes i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Malvaceae
Malvaceae, or the mallows, is a family of flowering plants estimated to contain 244 genera with 4225 known species. Well-known members of economic importance include okra, cotton, cacao and durian. There are also some genera containing familiar ornamentals, such as ''Alcea'' (hollyhock), ''Malva'' (mallow), and ''Tilia'' (lime or linden tree). The largest genera in terms of number of species include ''Hibiscus'' (300 species), ''Sterculia'' (250 species), ''Dombeya'' (250 species), '' Pavonia'' (200 species) and '' Sida'' (200 species). Taxonomy and nomenclature The circumscription of the Malvaceae is controversial. The traditional Malvaceae '' sensu stricto'' comprise a very homogeneous and cladistically monophyletic group. Another major circumscription, Malvaceae ''sensu lato'', has been more recently defined on the basis that genetics studies have shown the commonly recognised families Bombacaceae, Tiliaceae, and Sterculiaceae, which have always been considered closely allie ...

Tribe (biology)
In biology, a tribe is a taxonomic rank above genus, but below family and subfamily. It is sometimes subdivided into subtribes. By convention, all taxonomic ranks from genus upwards are capitalized, including both tribe and subtribe. In zoology, the standard ending for the name of a zoological tribe is "-ini". Examples include the tribes Caprini (goat-antelopes), Hominini (hominins), Bombini (bumblebees), and Thunnini (tunas). The tribe Hominini is divided into subtribes by some scientists; subtribe Hominina then comprises "humans". The standard ending for the name of a zoological subtribe is "-ina". In botany, the standard ending for the name of a botanical tribe is "-eae". Examples include the tribes Acalypheae and Hyacintheae. The tribe Hyacintheae is divided into subtribes, including the subtribe Massoniinae. The standard ending for the name of a botanical subtribe is "-inae". In bacteriology, the form of tribe names is as in botany, e.g., Pseudomonadeae, based on the ge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gossypieae
Gossypieae is a tribe of the flowering plant subfamily Malvoideae. It includes the cotton (''Gossypium'') and related plants. It is distinguished from the Hibisceae on the basis of embryo structure and its apparently unique possession of glands able to synthesize the pigment gossypol. Genera The following genera are recognised. The Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN) differs in additionally including the genus '' Alyogyne'' and excluding the genus ''Thepparatia''. * '' Cephalohibiscus'' Ulbr. * '' Cienfuegosia'' Cav. * '' Gossypioides'' Skovst. ex J.B.Hutch. * ''Gossypium'' L. * ''Hampea'' Schltdl. * '' Kokia'' Lewton * ''Lebronnecia'' Fosberg * ''Thepparatia'' Phuph. * ''Thespesia ''Thespesia'' is a genus of 13 flowering shrubs and trees in the ''Hibiscus'' family, Malvaceae, although within the family they are more closely related to cotton plants (''Gossypium'').
