Cibotium Schiedei
''Cibotium schiedei'', common name Mexican tree fern, is a species of tree fern, of the genus ''Cibotium''. Etymology The genus name ''Cibotium'' is derived from the Greek ''kibootion'', meaning chest or box, while the epithet ''schiedei'' honors the German physician and botanist Christian Julius Wilhelm Schiede (1798–1836). Description ''Cibotium schiedei'' is a tropical species reaching a height of . It is a very slow growing tree fern, usually with a prostrate trunk covered with hairs. The light green fronds have quite elongated pinnae. Distribution and habitat This species can be found growing in damp cloud and montane forests of southeastern Mexico Mexico (Spanish: México), officially the United Mexican States, is a country in the southern portion of North America. It is bordered to the north by the United States; to the south and west by the Pacific Ocean; to the southeast by Guatema ..., at an elevation of above sea level. References schiedei Endemic ...

Orto Botanico Dell'Università Di Genova
The Orto Botanico dell'Università di Genova (1 hectare), also known as the Orto Botanico di Genova, is a botanical garden operated by the University of Genoa, and located at Corso Dogali, Genoa, Liguria, Italy. The garden was established in 1803 by Professor Domenico Viviani on the former estate of the Jesuit College of St. Jerome in Balbi. By 1819 its catalog listed 1011 taxa, of which 60% were medicinal plants of European origin. It was extended in 1835 by an additional 4,000 square metres spread over two large terraces. The first large greenhouse was built in 1859, and in 1865 additional land was purchased to bring the garden to its current size of about 10,000 m². Today the garden contains about 4000 specimens, representing about 2000 taxa. Some date back a century or more, including fine specimens of ''Cedrus libani'', ''Cupressus sempervirens'', ''Firmiana simplex'', ''Gleditsia triacanthos'', and ''Sequoia sempervirens'', as well as ''Angiopteris evecta'', ''Arbutus canari ...

Tree Fern
The tree ferns are arborescent (tree-like) ferns that grow with a trunk elevating the fronds above ground level, making them trees. Many extant tree ferns are members of the order Cyatheales, to which belong the families Cyatheaceae (scaly tree ferns), Dicksoniaceae, Metaxyaceae, and Cibotiaceae. It is estimated that Cyatheales originated in the early Jurassic, and is the third group of ferns known to have given rise to tree-like forms. The others are the extinct '' Tempskya'' of uncertain position, and Osmundales where the extinct Guaireaceae and some members of Osmundaceae also grew into trees. In addition there were the Psaroniaceae and Tietea in the Marattiales, which is the sister group to most living ferns including Cyatheales. Other ferns which are also tree ferns, are ''Leptopteris'' and ''Todea'' in the family Osmundaceae, which can achieve short trunks under a metre tall. Fern species with short trunks in the genera ''Blechnum'', '' Cystodium'' and ''Sadleria'' from ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cibotium
''Cibotium'' (from Greek , ''kibṓtion'', "little chest" or "box"), also known as manfern, is a genus of 11 species of tropical tree ferns. It is the only genus in family Cibotiaceae in the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I). Alternatively, the family may be treated as the subfamily Cibotioideae of a very broadly defined family Cyatheaceae, the family placement used for the genus in '' Plants of the World Online'' . Species , '' Plants of the World Online'' accepted the following species and hybrids: Some extinct species have also been placed in this genus: *†''Cibotium iwatense'' Ogura *†''Cibotium oregonense'' Barrington Distribution Species of the genus are distributed fairly narrowly in Hawaii (four species, plus a hybrid, collectively known as ''hāpuu''), Southeast Asia (five species), and the cloud forests of Central America and Mexico (two species). The natural habitat of ''Cibotium'' is among the dripping trees and stream gullies of the ra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Christian Julius Wilhelm Schiede
Christian Julius Wilhelm Schiede (February 3, 1798 – December 1836) was a German physician and botanist born in Kassel. He studied natural sciences and medicine in Berlin and Göttingen, where he earned his doctorate in 1825. Afterwards he practiced medicine in Kassel. In 1828 Schiede emigrated to Mexico, accompanied by Ferdinand Deppe (1794-1861), a German naturalist with previous experience in the country. The two scientists planned to collect zoological and botanical specimens, which would then be sold to museums and dealers in Europe. In July 1828 they settled in Jalapa, and performed scientific excursions throughout the state of Veracruz. Although they were able sell their collections to museums in Berlin and Vienna, the money earned was insufficient to continue operations, causing Deppe and Schiede to abandon their enterprise in late 1830. Christian Schiede died in Mexico in 1836 at the age of 38. The botanical genera '' Schiedeella'' and ''Schiedea'' are named after h ...
