Leptospermum Lanigerum
''Leptospermum lanigerum'', commonly known as the woolly teatree, is a small tree or medium shrub from the plant family ''Myrtaceae''. Its common name derives from the conspicuously hairy capsules produced as fruit, along with the fine, silky hairs present on branches and leaves. ''L. lanigerum'' is widespread in many habitats, particularly in waterlogged areas such as moist, sandy coastal heaths, on river banks, riparian scrub, woodlands and on the fringe of montane grasslands. This species is endemic to Australia, with native populations occurring in New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria. Flowers possess the typical characteristics present within the genus ''Leptospermum''; five free, white petals, many stamens and five small sepals; although the most distinctive feature is the persistent hairy capsules and the silvery appearance of mature foliage. ''L. lanigerum'' is common and widespread throughout Australia, occurring both as natural populations and culti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Acacia Mucronata
''Acacia mucronata'', the variable sallow wattle or narrow-leaved wattle, is a shrub or small tree to 5 m high. It is native to southeast Australia, mainly the states of Tasmania and Victoria (where it is widespread and common in forests and woodland, mostly south of the Great Dividing Range). It often grows as an understorey tree or shrub in eucalypt forest or as a dominant in scrubland. In drier regions of its distribution, like in northeast Tasmania, it often grows along creeks and sheltered coastlines. Description There are 3 subspecies: ''Acacia mucronata'' subsp. ''longifolia'' is distinguished from the other 2 subspecies (both apparently Tasmanian endemics) in having phyllodes usually more than 9 cm long (rarely less than 10 times as long as wide) and usually acute. This is reflected in the specific epithet In taxonomy, binomial nomenclature ("two-term naming system"), also called nomenclature ("two-name naming system") or binary nomenclature, is a formal sys ...

Pomaderris Apetala
''Pomaderris apetala'' is a small tree or large shrub from the family Rhamnaceae, growing in Victoria (Australia), Victoria, New Zealand and Tasmania. In New Zealand, ''P. apetala'' is commonly known as the New Zealand Hazel. Māori people, Māori names include tainui, nonokia, and nonorangi. The name ‘Tainui’, is traditionally derived from the ''P. apetala'' plants that sprang from the skids of the ‘Tainui’ canoe used by Māori who first colonised New Zealand. Taxonomy ''Pomaderris'' is derived from the Greek words ''poma'' and ''derris'' meaning “a lid” and “skin” respectively, referring to the membranous skin covering the capsule (fruit), capsules. The ''a'' of ''apetala'' means “without”, and ''petala'' is derived from the Latin phrase ''petalum'' which is currently used in botanical nomenclature for “petals”. Therefore ''apetala'' means ‘without petals’. ''Pomaderris apetala'' was first described in the publication Novae Hollandiae Plantarum Spe ...

Eucalyptus Delegatensis
''Eucalyptus'' () is a genus of over seven hundred species of flowering trees, shrubs or mallees in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. Along with several other genera in the tribe Eucalypteae, including '' Corymbia'', they are commonly known as eucalypts. Plants in the genus ''Eucalyptus'' have bark that is either smooth, fibrous, hard or stringy, leaves with oil glands, and sepals and petals that are fused to form a "cap" or operculum over the stamens. The fruit is a woody capsule commonly referred to as a "gumnut". Most species of ''Eucalyptus'' are native to Australia, and every state and territory has representative species. About three-quarters of Australian forests are eucalypt forests. Wildfire is a feature of the Australian landscape and many eucalypt species are adapted to fire, and resprout after fire or have seeds which survive fire. A few species are native to islands north of Australia and a smaller number are only found outside the continent. Eucalypts have been gr ...
