Cephrenes Augiades
''Cephrenes augiades'', the orange palm dart, is a butterfly of the family Hesperiidae. It is found from Indonesia to the Solomons. The wingspan is about 40 mm. Food The larvae of subspecies ''sperthias'' feed on ''Archontophoenix'', ''Livistona'' and ''Phoenix'' species. During the day it hides within a shelter made by using silk to join fronds of its host plant, which fold together and bend across each other naturally. Other recorded food plants include: * '' Acoelorrhaphe wrightii'' * '' Aiphanes corallina'' * '' Bentinckia nicobarica'' * ''Butia eriospatha'' * ''Calamus moti'' * '' Carpentaria acuminata'' * '' Carpoxylon macrospermum'' * '' Chamaedorea microspadix'' * '' Chrysalidocarpus cabadae'' * '' Clinostigma samoense'' * '' Crysophila guagara'' * ''Gaussia attenuata'' * '' Gronophyllum microcarpum'' * '' Gulubia macrospadix'' * '' Heterospathe delicatula'' * '' Heterospathe woodfordiana'' * ''Howea belmoreana'' * '' Livistona merrillii'' * '' ...

Baron Cajetan Von Felder
Baron Cajetan von Felder (german: link=no, Cajetan Freiherr von Felder; 19 September 1814 – 30 November 1894) was an Austrian lawyer, entomologist and liberal politician. He served as mayor of Vienna from 1868 to 1878. Life and career Felder was born in Wieden, today the fourth district of Vienna. An orphan from 1826, he attended the ''Gymnasium'' of Seitenstetten Abbey, as well as schools in Brno and Vienna, and began to study law at the University of Vienna in 1834. He completed his legal internship in Brno and articled clerk in Vienna, obtaining his doctorate in 1841. Since 1835 he had made intensive travels throughout Western and Southern Europe, mostly on foot, and studied foreign languages. From 1843 he also worked as an assistant at the Theresianum academy and as a court interpreter in Vienna, before passing the Austrian bar examination in 1848, only a few days before the outbreak of the March Revolution. In October 1848 Felder was elected to the newly established m ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Chrysalidocarpus Cabadae
''Dypsis'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Arecaceae. They are slender, evergreen palms with yellow flowers carried in panicles amongst the pinnate leaves. Many ''Dypsis'' species have aerial branching (above the main trunk), a rare growth habit among palms. Some have marcescent leaves that remain attached after death and trap litter for nutrients. Etymology The etymology is obscure but may be related to the Greek ' ‘I dive’ or ' ‘diver’. The species are native to Tanzania, Madagascar, and various islands in the Indian Ocean (Mauritius and Comoros). A few are naturalized in other regions, especially in the Caribbean The Caribbean (, ) ( es, El Caribe; french: la Caraïbe; ht, Karayib; nl, De Caraïben) is a region of the Americas that consists of the Caribbean Sea, its islands (some surrounded by the Caribbean Sea and some bordering both the Caribbean Se ....

Oenocarpus
''Oenocarpus'' is a genus of pinnate-leaved palms (Arecaceae) native to Trinidad, southern Central and tropical South America. (2004): World Checklist of Arecaceae &ndash''Oenocarpus'' The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Retrieved 2008-DEC-24. With nine species and one natural hybrid, the genus is distributed from Costa Rica and Trinidad in the north to Brazil and Bolivia in the south. Common names in their native range are ''bacaba'' in Brazil, and ''palma milpesos'' (or just ''milpesos'') in Spanish-speaking countries. These terms may also refer to the best-known member of this genus, '' O. bacaba'', but more precise common names exist for that species. The fruit of ''Oenocarpus'' palms are food for various animals, such as the green aracari ('' Pteroglossus viridis'') for which ''O. bacaba'' fruit are a mainstay food. They are also locally eaten by humans, and these palms are also used in folk medicine. Their wood is useful for handicraft and the fruits ...

Livistona Merrillii
''Livistona'' is a genus of palms, the botanical family Arecaceae, native to southeastern and eastern Asia, Australasia, and the Horn of Africa. They are fan palms, the leaves with an armed petiole terminating in a rounded, costapalmate fan of numerous leaflets. '' L. speciosa'', locally called ''kho'', gives its name to Khao Kho District in Thailand. Taxonomy The genus was established by Robert Brown in his ''Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae'' (1810) to accommodate his descriptions of two species collected during an expedition to Australia. The names published by Brown were ''Livistona humilis'' and '' L. inermis'', describing material he had collected in the north of Australia, a partial taxonomic revision in 1963 nominated the first of these as the lectotype. His collaborator Ferdinand Bauer, the botanist and master illustrator, produced artworks to accompany Brown's descriptions, but these were not published until 1838. In 1983 a species of palm from Somalia was formall ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Howea Belmoreana
''Howea belmoreana'', the curly palm, kentia palm, or Belmore sentry palm, is a species of flowering plant in the family (biology), family Arecaceae, endemic species, endemic to Lord Howe Island, Australia. It and ''Howea forsteriana'' probably evolved from a common ancestor through sympatric speciation. The canopy of a mature kentia palm tree spreads in diameter and contains roughly 36 leaves. ''Howea belmoreana'' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Effects of mycorrhiza on speciation ''Howea belmoreana'' is restricted to the volcanic soils on Lord Howe Island, whereas ''H. forsteriana'' is found on both alkaline calcareous and volcanic soils, the two most common soil types found on the island. ''Howea belmoreana'' is more common on volcanic soils and has a higher survival rate than ''H. forsteriana''. Osborne et al. (2018) suggest that the speciation of ''H. forsteriana'' and ''Howea belmoreana'' is partially a result of difference in arbuscu ...

Heterospathe Woodfordiana
''Heterospathe'' is a monoecious genus of flowering plant in the palm family found in Oceania, where it is called sagisi palm. With 39 species, ''Heterospathe'' is named from a Greek combination of "various" and "spathe", which describes the two distinct bract types. Description They exhibit considerable variation in morphology and habit; the slender trunks may be solitary or sparsely to densely clustering, some are miniatures and perpetual undergrowth subjects while others contribute to the canopy top. The trunks are ringed by leaf scars and end in a poorly defined or absent crownshaft. The leaves are usually pinnate, rarely bifid, from small to large, and frequently red colored when new. The inflorescence is interfoliar but will hang pendent nearing antithesis. It may be branched from one to four orders with short white to yellow branches of spirally arranged, male and female flowers. Ellipsoidal to spherical, the fruit ripen to various shades of orange and red and contain ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Gulubia Macrospadix
''Hydriastele'' is a diverse and widespread genus of flowering plant in the palm family found throughout northern Australia, Melanesia, Polynesia, and Southeast Asia. It consisted of just nine species until 2004, when molecular research, supported by morphologic similarities, led taxonomists to include the members of the ''Gulubia'', ''Gronophyllum'', and ''Siphokentia'' genera. About 40 species are now recognized. Description The palms now classified in this genus have uniting traits but are nonetheless diverse. Pleonanthy, monoecy, crownshafts, peduncular bracts, and the lack of armament characterize all members. The trunks may be solitary or suckering and may be diminutive to robust, spanning a range of heights. The leaves are pinnate and widely varied. The inflorescences are branched to three orders with both male and female flowers, some of which are beetle-pollinated.Uhl, Natalie W. and Dransfield, John (1987) ''Genera Palmarum - A classification of palms based on the wo ...
