Banksia Ser. Ochraceae
''Banksia'' ser. ''Ochraceae'' is a valid botanic name for a Taxonomy (biology), taxonomic series (botany), series within the plant genus ''Banksia''. It was published by Kevin Thiele in 1996, but discarded by Alex George (botanist), Alex George in 1999. Cladistics The name came about after a cladistics, cladistic analysis of ''Banksia'' by Thiele and Pauline Ladiges yielded a phylogeny somewhat at odds with George's taxonomic arrangement of Banksia, the arrangement of Alex George (botanist), Alex George. They found George's Banksia ser. Cyrtostylis, ''B.'' ser. ''Cyrtostylis'' to be "widely polyphyletic", with six of its fourteen taxa occurring singly in locations throughout the cladogram; these were transferred to other series or left ''incertae sedis''. The remaining eight taxa formed a clade, which further resolved into two subclades: Taxonomy Thiele and Ladiges preferred to give series rank to the subclades, rather than the entire clade, so they transferred the taxa ...

Banksia Audax
''Banksia audax'' is a species of shrub that is Endemism, endemic to Western Australia. It has fissured, grey bark, woolly stems, hairy, serrated leaves and golden orange flower spikes. Description ''Banksia audax'' is a shrub that typically grows to a height of and forms a lignotuber. It has fissured, grey bark and branches densely covered with woolly hairs. The leaves are wedge-shaped, hairy on both sides, long and wide with serrated edges. The serrations are triangular, long and sharply pointed. The flower spike is erect, on a short side branch, oval-cylindrical and in diameter as the flowers open. The flowers are golden orange, each with a perianth long and hairy on the outside. Flowering occurs from November to January and there are up to forty elliptic Follicle (fruit), follicles in the spike, each long, high and wide and hairy. Taxonomy and naming ''Banksia audax'' was first formally described in 1928 by Charles Gardner (botanist), Charles Gardner from specimens ...

Banksia Elegans
''Banksia elegans'', commonly known as the elegant banksia, is a species of woody shrub that is Endemism, endemic to a relatively small area of Western Australia. Reaching high, it is a suckering shrub that rarely reproduces by seed. The round to oval yellow flower spikes appear in spring and summer. Swiss botanist Carl Meissner described ''Banksia elegans'' in 1856. It is most closely related to the three species in the Banksia subg. Isostylis, subgenus ''Isostylis''. Description ''Banksia elegans'' grows as a many-stemmed spreading shrub to high. It commonly sends up suckers from either the roots or trunk. The trunk is up to in diameter and covered with grey tessellated bark. The new stems are covered with fine hair and become smooth with maturity. New growth mainly occurs in summer. The long thin pale blue-green leaves are long and wide. Their margins are prominently serrated in a saw-tooth pattern with triangular teeth and v-shaped sinuses. The yellow flower spikes, or i ...

Banksia Subg
''Banksia'' is a genus of around 170 species in the plant family Proteaceae. These Australian wildflowers and popular garden plants are easily recognised by their characteristic flower spikes, and fruiting "cones" and heads. ''Banksias'' range in size from prostrate woody shrubs to trees up to 30 metres (100 ft) tall. They are found in a wide variety of landscapes: sclerophyll forest, (occasionally) rainforest, shrubland, and some more arid landscapes, though not in Australia's deserts. Heavy producers of nectar, ''banksias'' are a vital part of the food chain in the Australian bush. They are an important food source for nectarivorous animals, including birds, bats, rats, possums, stingless bees and a host of invertebrates. Further, they are of economic importance to Australia's nursery and cut flower industries. However, these plants are threatened by a number of processes including land clearing, frequent burning and disease, and a number of species are rare and endangered. ...

Thiele And Ladiges' Taxonomic Arrangement Of Banksia
Kevin Thiele and Pauline Ladiges taxonomic arrangement of ''Banksia'', published in 1996, was a novel taxonomic arrangement that was intended to align the taxonomy of ''Banksia'' more closely with the phylogeny that they had inferred from their cladistic analysis of the genus. It replaced Alex George's 1981 arrangement, but most aspects were not accepted by George, and it was soon replaced by a 1999 revision of George's arrangement. However some herbaria have continued to follow Thiele and Ladiges on some points. Background ''Banksia'' is a genus of around 80 species in the plant family Proteaceae. An iconic Australian wildflower and popular garden plant, they are easily recognised by their characteristic flower spikes and fruiting "cones". They grow in forms varying from prostrate woody shrubs to trees up to 35 metres tall, and occur in all but the most arid areas of Australia. As heavy producers of nectar (plant), nectar, they are important sources of food for nectariferous a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 ...

Latin
Latin (, or , ) is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin was originally a dialect spoken in the lower Tiber area (then known as Latium) around present-day Rome, but through the power of the Roman Republic it became the dominant language in the Italian region and subsequently throughout the Roman Empire. Even after the fall of Western Rome, Latin remained the common language of international communication, science, scholarship and academia in Europe until well into the 18th century, when other regional vernaculars (including its own descendants, the Romance languages) supplanted it in common academic and political usage, and it eventually became a dead language in the modern linguistic definition. Latin is a highly inflected language, with three distinct genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), six or seven noun cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative, and vocative), five declensions, four verb conjuga ...

Banksia Benthamiana
''Banksia benthamiana'' is a species of shrub that is endemic to the Southwest of Western Australia. It has hairy, linear leaves, usually with scattered small teeth along the edges, and spikes of orange flowers. Description ''Banksia benthamiana'' is a shrub that typically grows to a height of but does not form a lignotuber. Its bark is roughly flaking and grey and the branchlets are densely covered with rust-coloured hairs. The leaves are linear in shape, mostly long and wide on a petiole long. The sides of the leaves usually have small teeth long and apart along one half or more. Both surfaces of the leaves are hairy when young.

Banksia Praemorsa
''Banksia praemorsa'', commonly known as the cut-leaf banksia, is a species of shrub or tree in the plant genus ''Banksia''. It occurs in a few isolated populations on the south coast of Western Australia between Albany and Cape Riche. Description ''Banksia praemorsa'' grows as a shrub to with a relatively thick sturdy trunk that branches quite close to the ground. Occasionally specimens can be up to with a trunk diameter of . The bark is rough and flaky. Flowering occurs from August to November; the flower spikes arise from the ends of small lateral branches and thus, despite being terminal, are obscured by foliage. Up to high, they are composed of hundreds of individual flowers growing out of a vertical woody spike. Taxonomy English plantsman and botanical artist Henry Cranke Andrews described this species from a cultivated specimen in the conservatory of the Clapham Collection in July 1802. A specimen that flowered at Kew Gardens the same year was selected as the neotype ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
