Cunoniaceae
Cunoniaceae is a family of 27 Genus, genera and about 335 species of woody plants in the order Oxalidales, mostly found in the tropical and wet temperate regions of the Southern Hemisphere. The greatest diversity of genera are in Australia and Tasmania (15 genera), New Guinea (9 genera), and New Caledonia (7 genera). The family is also present in Central America, South America, the Caribbean, Malesia, the islands of the South Pacific, Madagascar and surrounding islands. the family is absent from mainland Asia except from Peninsular Malaysia, and almost absent from mainland Africa apart from two species from Southern Africa (''Cunonia capensis'', ''Platylophus trifoliatus''). Several of the genera have remarkable disjunct ranges, found on more than one continent, e.g. ''Cunonia'' (Southern Africa & New Caledonia), ''Eucryphia'' (Australia & South America) ''Weinmannia'' (America and the Mascarenes). The family includes trees and shrubs; most are evergreen but a few are deciduous. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Weinmannia
''Weinmannia'' is a genus of trees and shrubs in the family Cunoniaceae. It is the largest genus of the family with about 150 species. It is also the most widespread genus, occurring in Central and South America including the Caribbean, Madagascar and surrounding islands, Malesia and the islands of the South Pacific. It is absent from mainland Africa and Australia, but some fossils have been attributed to ''Weinmannia'' in Australia. Leaves are simple or pinnate, with a margin usually toothed, and interpetiolar stipules. Flowers are bisexual, white, arranged in racemes. The fruit is a capsule opening vertically from the top to the base. Seeds hairy without wings. Taxonomy The genus has been divided into five sections: * ''Fasciculata'' (mostly Malesia, from Sumatra to Fiji) * ''Inspersa'' (Madagascar) * ''Leiospermum'' (mostly Pacific, from Bismarck archipelago to the Marquesas) * ''Spicata'' (Madagascar and Comores) * ''Weinmannia'' (Central and South America, Mascarenes) A phy ...

Gillbeea
''Gillbeea'' is a genus of three species of Australasian rainforest trees from the family Cunoniaceae. Botanical science has formally published , the names and descriptions of one species endemic to New Guinea and two species endemic to the Wet Tropics rainforests of northeastern Queensland, Australia. These two Wet Tropics, NE. Qld species each only grow naturally in different tablelands rainforest regions, separated from each other for millions of years by a relatively narrow belt of drier non–rainforest landscape. Naming and classification In 1865, European science formally published the name and description of this genus using John Dallachy's northeastern Queensland ''Gillbeea adenopetala'' type specimen collection, authored by Melbourne based German–Australian botanist Ferdinand von Mueller. Mueller named this genus after Melbourne medical doctor William Gillbee. In 1915, the species name ''Gillbeea papuana'' and description was formally scientifically published by Ge ...
