Republica Kummerensis
''Republica'' is an enigmatic genus of flowering plants which includes three known species: ''Republica hickeyi'', ''Republica kummerensis'', and ''Republica litseafolia''. The genus has been found in Eocene age geologic formations along the Pacific coast of North America. The affiliations of ''Republica'' are uncertain, with the most recent placement being tentatively in the now broken up subclass Hamamelididae. Distribution The three species currently assigned to ''Republica'' are all known from western North America. The type species ''R. hickeyi'' is isolated to the Klondike Mountain Formation in the Ypresian Eocene Okanagan Highlands of northwest central Washington. The first named species, ''R. litseafolia'' has been identified from its type locality at the "Chalk bluffs" site in the northern area of California's Ione Formation. The site has been variously assigned to the early Eocene by Harry MacGinitie, based on attempted correlation to the Ione type strata resulting ...

Camellia Multiforma
''Camellia'' (pronounced or ) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Theaceae. They are found in eastern and southern Asia, from the Himalayas east to Japan and Indonesia. There are more than 220 described species, with some controversy over the exact number, and also around 3,000 hybrids. The genus was named by Linnaeus after the Jesuit botanist Georg Joseph Kamel, who worked in the Philippines and described a species of camellia (although Linnaeus did not refer to Kamel's account when discussing the genus). Of economic importance in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent, leaves of '' C. sinensis'' are processed to create the popular beverage tea. The ornamental '' C. japonica'', '' C. sasanqua'' and their hybrids are the source of hundreds of garden cultivars. '' C. oleifera'' produces tea seed oil, used in cooking and cosmetics. Descriptions Camellias are evergreen shrubs or small trees up to tall. Their leaves are alternately arranged, simp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Menispermaceae
Menispermaceae (botanical Latin: 'moonseed family' from Greek ''mene'' 'crescent moon' and ''sperma'' 'seed') is a family of flowering plants. The alkaloid tubocurarine, a neuromuscular blocker and the active ingredient in the 'tube curare' form of the dart poison curare, is derived from the South American liana ''Chondrodendron tomentosum''. Several other South American genera belonging to the family have been used to prepare the 'pot' and 'calabash' forms of curare. The family contains 68 genera with some 440 species, which are distributed throughout low-lying tropical areas with some species present in temperate and arid regions. Description * Twining woody climbing plants, winding anti-clockwise (''Stephania'' winds clockwise) or vines, rarely upright shrubs or small trees, more rarely still herbaceous plants or epiphytes (''Stephania cyanantha''), perennial or deciduous, with simple to uni-serrate hairs. * Alternate spiral leaves, simple, whole, dentate, lobed to palmatifid ...

Calkinsia (plant)
''Calkinsia'' is a monotypic genus of excavates comprising the single species ''Calkinsia aureus''. It lives in low-oxygen seafloor environments. It is not classified in any of the three well-known groups of the Euglenozoa ( Kinetoplastida, Euglenida or Diplonemida), but is placed in its own group, the Symbiontida (along with some DNA sequences which were found in marine environments but not identified with known organisms). Some authors have classified ''Calkinsia'' alongside '' Postgaardi'', but ''Postgaardi'' has not been studied well enough to test this hypothesis. The genus name of ''Calkinsia'' is in honour of Gary Nathan Calkins (1869 – 1943), who was an American protozoologist and a professor at Columbia University Columbia University (also known as Columbia, and officially as Columbia University in the City of New York) is a private research university in New York City. Established in 1754 as King's College on the grounds of Trinity Church in Manhatt .... H ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
