Coopernookia
''Coopernookia'' is a plant genus of six species of small perennial shrubs that are all endemic to Australia. They have hairy, often sticky leaves, and flowers with bilateral symmetry. Description Plants in the genus ''Coopernookia'' are small shrubs covered with star-like, often glandular hairs that are often sticky. The leaves are sessile or almost so, sometimes have toothed edges and sometimes have their edges curled under. The flowers are arranged on the ends of branches, surrounded by leaves. The flowers are zygomorphic, meaning that they have bilateral symmetry. Each flower has five sepals and a white, mauve or pinkish corolla. The lobes of the corolla are unequal in size and broadly winged. The stamens are free from each other and the ovary is inferior. Taxonomy The genus ''Coopernookia'' was first formally described in 1968 by Roger Carolin in ''Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales''. The first species added to the new genus was '' Coopernookia barbat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Coopernookia Strophiolata
''Coopernookia strophiolata'' is a shrub in the Goodeniaceae family, endemic to Australia and found in both Western Australia and South Australia. Description ''Coopernookia strophiolata'' is a sticky, spreading (sometimes straggly) shrub growing from heights of 30 cm to 1.2 m. The leaves are obovate, spoon-shaped or elliptic, narrowing gradually towards the base, and have toothed margins and a few star-shaped hairs. The leaf blades are 10 to 35 mm long by 2 to 15 mm wide. The stalks of the inflorescence are up to 12 mm long. The sepals are 3 to 7 mm long, and joined to the ovary towards the base. The white dark-veined corolla is up to 12 mm long and has stellate hairs on the outside. The lobes are unequal and the adaxial lobes have bristles near their posterior margins. The capsule is globular and 5 to 7 mm in diameter. The seeds (3 mm long) are ellipsoidal. Taxonomy and naming The species was first described as ''Goodenia strophiolata ...

Goodeniaceae
Goodeniaceae is a family (biology), family of flowering plants in the Order (biology), order Asterales. It contains about 404 species in twelve genera. The family is distributed mostly in Australia, except for the genus ''Scaevola (plant), Scaevola'', which is pantropical. Its species are found across most of Australia, being especially common in arid and semi-arid climates. Morphology Species in Goodeniaceae are generally Herbaceous plant, herbaceous with Phyllotaxis, spiral leaves. Flowers have a single plane of symmetry (monosymmetric; ''Brunonia'' being the sole exception), and are either fan-like (e.g., ''Scaevola (plant), Scaevola'') or bilabiate (as in ''Dampiera''). Corolla (flower), Corolla lobes often have two thin marginal wings, which also occur in other families of Asterales such as the Menyanthaceae and Argophyllaceae. The style bears a pollen-cup, also known as an indusium, at the tip, a unique character for the family. The indusium has a function in secondary polle ...

Scaevola (plant)
''Scaevola'' is a genus of flowering plants in the ''Goodenia'' family, Goodeniaceae. It consists of more than 130 species, with the center of diversity being Australia and Polynesia. There are around 80 species in Australia, occurring throughout the continent, in a variety of habitats. Diversity is highest in the South West, where around 40 species are endemic. Common names for ''Scaevola'' species include scaevolas, fan-flowers, half-flowers, and naupaka, the plants' Hawaiian name. The flowers are shaped as if they have been cut in half. Consequently, the generic name means "left-handed" in Latin. Many Hawaiian legends have been told to explain the formation of the shape of the flowers. In one version a woman tears the flower in half after a quarrel with her lover. The gods, angered, turn all naupaka flowers into half flowers and the two lovers remained separated while the man is destined to search in vain for another whole flower. ''Scaevola'' is the only Goodeniaceae genus t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Australian Plant Census
The Australian Plant Census (APC) provides an online interface to currently accepted, published, scientific names of the vascular flora of Australia, as one of the output interfaces of the national government Integrated Biodiversity Information System (IBIS – an Oracle Co. relational database management system). The Australian National Herbarium, Australian National Botanic Gardens, Australian Biological Resources Study and the Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria coordinate the system. The Australian Plant Census interface provides the currently accepted scientific names, their synonyms, illegitimate, misapplied and excluded names, as well as state distribution data. Each item of output hyperlinks to other online interfaces of the information system, including the Australian Plant Name Index (APNI) and the Australian Plant Image Index (APII). The outputs of the Australian Plant Census interface provide information on all native and naturalised vascular plant taxa of Australi ...
