Bibbya Vermifera
''Bibbya'' is a genus of fruticose lichens in the family Ramalinaceae. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed in 1956 by Australian botanist James Hamlyn Willis, with ''Bibbya muelleri'' assigned as the type species. The generic name honours Patrick Noel Sumner Bibby (1907–1955), a colleague with whom Willis had collaborated, and who had died the year previously. In 1992, Einer Timdal included ''Bibbya'' in ''Toninia''. The genus was resurrected in 2018 after a comprehensive molecular phylogeny of the family Ramalinaceae. The authors transferred several species previously placed in genus ''Toninia'', as well as one previously placed in ''Bacidia''. Description ''Bibbya'' is characterized by the presence of a reddish-brown pigment in the epithecium (the tissue layer above the asci) and in the rim of the exciple (the ring-like structure surrounding the apothecium). The thallus varies in form from crustose to squamulose or bullate (covered with rounded swellings like blisters). The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ellipsoid
An ellipsoid is a surface that may be obtained from a sphere by deforming it by means of directional scalings, or more generally, of an affine transformation. An ellipsoid is a quadric surface; that is, a surface that may be defined as the zero set of a polynomial of degree two in three variables. Among quadric surfaces, an ellipsoid is characterized by either of the two following properties. Every planar cross section is either an ellipse, or is empty, or is reduced to a single point (this explains the name, meaning "ellipse-like"). It is bounded, which means that it may be enclosed in a sufficiently large sphere. An ellipsoid has three pairwise perpendicular axes of symmetry which intersect at a center of symmetry, called the center of the ellipsoid. The line segments that are delimited on the axes of symmetry by the ellipsoid are called the ''principal axes'', or simply axes of the ellipsoid. If the three axes have different lengths, the figure is a triaxial ellipsoid (r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Córdoba, Argentina
Córdoba () is a city in central Argentina, in the foothills of the Punilla Valley, Sierras Chicas on the Primero River, Suquía River, about northwest of Buenos Aires.

It was founded on 6 July 1573 by Jerónimo Luis de Cabrera, who named it after Córdoba, Spain. It was one of the early Spanish colonial capitals of the region that is now Argentina (the oldest city is Santiago del Estero, founded in 1553).

Australian Capital Territory
The Australian Capital Territory (commonly abbreviated as ACT), known as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) until 1938, is a landlocked federal territory of Australia containing the national capital Canberra and some surrounding townships. It is located in southeastern Australian mainland as an enclave completely within the state of New South Wales. Founded after Federation as the seat of government for the new nation, the territory hosts the headquarters of all important institutions of the Australian Government. On 1 January 1901, federation of the colonies of Australia was achieved. Section 125 of the new Australian Constitution provided that land, situated in New South Wales and at least from Sydney, would be ceded to the new federal government. Following discussion and exploration of various areas within New South Wales, the ''Seat of Government Act 1908'' was passed in 1908 which specified a capital in the Yass-Canberra region. The territory was transferred to the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
