Discosia Ravennica
''Discosia'' is a genus of plant pathogens in the family '' Sporocadaceae''. It was published by Marie-Anne Libert in 1837. The genus was re-studied by Subramanian and Reddy (1974), who designated ''Discosia strobilina'' as lectotype for the genus (Nag Raj 1993; Tanaka et al. 2011). Later, when ''Sphaeria artocreas'' was transferred to the genus and combined under ''Discosia artocreas'' , the latter was chosen as lectotype of the genus (Fries 1849; Vanev 1991). Vanev (1991, 1992a, b, c, d) made a detailed taxonomic revision of the genus. On the basis of the location of the conidial septa and appendages, he delimited six sections (Vanev 1991), and to clarify the status of the genus he designated its lectotype as ''Discosia artocreas'' (Vanev 1992a). In 2015, Senanayake, Indunil C.; Maharachchikumbura, Sajeewa S. N. et al. (2015) moved the genus to its own family ''Discosiaceae'' . But in 2016, it was moved back into the family '' Sporocadaceae''. Species of ''Discosia'' are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fungi
A fungus ( : fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, which by one traditional classification include Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the ''Eumycota'' (''t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rhododendron Campulatum
''Rhododendron'' (; from Ancient Greek ''rhódon'' "rose" and ''déndron'' "tree") is a very large genus of about 1,024 species of woody plants in the heath family (Ericaceae). They can be either evergreen or deciduous. Most species are native to eastern Asia and the Himalayan region, but smaller numbers occur elsewhere in Asia, and in North America, Europe and Australia. It is the national flower of Nepal, the state flower of Washington and West Virginia in the United States, the state flower of Nagaland in India, the provincial flower of Jiangxi in China and the state tree of Sikkim and Uttarakhand in India. Most species have brightly colored flowers which bloom from late winter through to early summer. Azaleas make up two subgenera of ''Rhododendron''. They are distinguished from "true" rhododendrons by having only five anthers per flower. Species Description ''Rhododendron'' is a genus of shrubs and small to (rarely) large trees, the smallest species growing to tall, ...

Aralia Spinosa
''Aralia spinosa'', commonly known as devil's walking stick, is a woody species of plant in the genus ''Aralia'', family Araliaceae, native to eastern North America. The various names refer to the viciously sharp, spiny stems, petioles, and even leaf midribs. It has also been known as Angelica-tree. This species is sometimes called Hercules' club, prickly ash, or prickly elder, common names it shares with the unrelated ''Zanthoxylum clava-herculis''. For this reason, ''Aralia spinosa'' is sometimes confused with that species and mistakenly called the ''toothache tree'', but it does not have the medicinal properties of ''Zanthoxylum clava-herculis''. ''Aralia spinosa'' is occasionally cultivated for its exotic, tropical appearance, having large lacy compound leaves. It is closely related to the Asian species ''Aralia elata'', a more commonly cultivated species with which it is easily confused.

Magnolia Virginiana
''Magnolia virginiana'', most commonly known as sweetbay magnolia, or merely sweetbay (also laurel magnolia, swampbay, swamp magnolia, white bay, or beaver tree), is a member of the magnolia family, Magnoliaceae. It was the first magnolia to be scientifically described under modern rules of botanical nomenclature, and is the type species of the genus ''Magnolia''; as ''Magnolia'' is also the type genus of all flowering plants (magnoliophytes), this species in a sense typifies all flowering plants. Taxonomy ''Magnolia virginiana'' was one of the many species described by Carl Linnaeus. Description ''Magnolia virginiana'' is an evergreen or deciduous tree to 30 m (100 ft) tall, native to the lowlands and swamps of the Atlantic coastal plain of the eastern United States, from Florida to Long Island, New York. Whether it is deciduous or evergreen depends on climate; it is evergreen in areas with milder winters in the south of its range (zone 7 southward), and is semi-ev ...

Tilia Cordata
''Tilia cordata'', the small-leaved lime or small-leaved linden, is a species of tree in the family Malvaceae, native to much of Europe. Other common names include little-leaf or littleleaf linden, or traditionally in South East England, pry or pry tree.

Oxalis Acetosella
''Oxalis acetosella'', the wood sorrel or common wood sorrel, is a rhizomatous flowering plant in the family ''Oxalidaceae'', common in most of Europe and parts of Asia. The specific epithet ''acetosella'' refers to its sour taste. The common name wood sorrel is often used for other plants in the genus ''Oxalis''. In much of its range it is the only member of its genus and hence simply known as "the" wood sorrel. While common wood sorrel may be used to differentiate it from most other species of ''Oxalis'', in North America, ''Oxalis montana'' is also called common wood sorrel. It is also known as ''Alleluia'' because it blossoms between Easter and Pentecost, when the Psalms which end with Hallelujah are sung. Description The plant has trifoliate compound leaves, the leaflets heart-shaped and folded through the middle, that occur in groups of three on petioles up to long. It flowers from spring to midsummer with small white chasmogamous flowers with pink streaks. Red or viole ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
