Eucalyptus Sinuosa
''Eucalyptus sinuosa'', commonly known as octopus mallee, is a species of mallee that is endemic to Western Australia. It has smooth bark, linear leaves, flower buds fused together in clusters of between eleven and twenty-five, greenish yellow flowers and fruit that are fused into a woody mass. Description ''Eucalyptus sinuosa'' is a mallee that typically grows to a height of and forms a lignotuber. The bark is smooth, cream-coloured, grey to grey-brown and orange-brown and is shed in strips and short ribbons. The adult leaves are arranged alternately, the same glossy green on both sides, linear, long and wide with the base tapering to a petiole long. The flower buds are arranged in leaf axils in fused clusters of between eleven and twenty-five on an unbranched peduncle long and downturned at flowering time. Only the upper part of each bud is free and has a long, sinuous operculum with a swelling at the tip. Flowering occurs between December and April and the flowers are ...

Latin
Latin (, or , ) is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin was originally a dialect spoken in the lower Tiber area (then known as Latium) around present-day Rome, but through the power of the Roman Republic it became the dominant language in the Italian region and subsequently throughout the Roman Empire. Even after the fall of Western Rome, Latin remained the common language of international communication, science, scholarship and academia in Europe until well into the 18th century, when other regional vernaculars (including its own descendants, the Romance languages) supplanted it in common academic and political usage, and it eventually became a dead language in the modern linguistic definition. Latin is a highly inflected language, with three distinct genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), six or seven noun cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative, and vocative), five declensions, four verb conjuga ...

Myrtales Of Australia
The Myrtales are an order of flowering plants placed as a sister to the eurosids II clade as of the publishing of the ''Eucalyptus grandis'' genome in June 2014. The APG III system of classification for angiosperms still places it within the eurosids. This finding is corroborated by the placement of the Myrtales in the Malvid clade by the One Thousand Plant Transcriptomes Initiative. The following families are included as of APGIII: * Alzateaceae S. A. Graham * Combretaceae R. Br. ( leadwood family) * Crypteroniaceae A. DC. * Lythraceae J. St.-Hil. ( loosestrife and pomegranate family) * Melastomataceae Juss. (including Memecylaceae DC.) * Myrtaceae Juss. (myrtle family; including Heteropyxidaceae Engl. & Gilg, Psiloxylaceae Croizat) * Onagraceae Juss. (evening primrose and Fuchsia family) * Penaeaceae Sweet ex Guill. (including Oliniaceae Arn., Rhynchocalycaceae L. A. S. Johnson & B. G. Briggs) * Vochysiaceae A. St.-Hil. The Cronquist system gives essentially the same co ...

Eucalyptus
''Eucalyptus'' () is a genus of over seven hundred species of flowering trees, shrubs or mallees in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. Along with several other genera in the tribe Eucalypteae, including '' Corymbia'', they are commonly known as eucalypts. Plants in the genus ''Eucalyptus'' have bark that is either smooth, fibrous, hard or stringy, leaves with oil glands, and sepals and petals that are fused to form a "cap" or operculum over the stamens. The fruit is a woody capsule commonly referred to as a "gumnut". Most species of ''Eucalyptus'' are native to Australia, and every state and territory has representative species. About three-quarters of Australian forests are eucalypt forests. Wildfire is a feature of the Australian landscape and many eucalypt species are adapted to fire, and resprout after fire or have seeds which survive fire. A few species are native to islands north of Australia and a smaller number are only found outside the continent. Eucalypts have been grow ...

Eucalypts Of Western Australia
Eucalypt is a descriptive name for woody plants with capsule fruiting bodies belonging to seven closely related genera (of the tribe Eucalypteae) found across Australasia: ''Eucalyptus'', ''Corymbia'', '' Angophora'', ''Stockwellia'', ''Allosyncarpia'', ''Eucalyptopsis'' and ''Arillastrum''. Taxonomy For an example of changing historical perspectives, in 1991, largely genetic evidence indicated that some prominent ''Eucalyptus'' species were actually more closely related to ''Angophora'' than to other eucalypts; they were accordingly split off into the new genus ''Corymbia''. Although separate, all of these genera and their species are allied and it remains the standard to refer to the members of all seven genera ''Angophora'', ''Corymbia'', ''Eucalyptus'', ''Stockwellia'', ''Allosyncarpia'', ''Eucalyptopsis'' and ''Arillastrum'' as "eucalypts" or as the eucalypt group. The extant genera ''Stockwellia'', ''Allosyncarpia'', ''Eucalyptopsis'' and ''Arillastrum'' comprise six kn ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Declared Rare And Priority Flora List
The Declared Rare and Priority Flora List is the system by which Western Australia's conservation flora are given a priority. Developed by the Government of Western Australia's Department of Environment and Conservation, it was used extensively within the department, including the Western Australian Herbarium. The herbarium's journal, ''Nuytsia'', which has published over a quarter of the state's conservation taxa, requires a conservation status to be included in all publications of new Western Australian taxa that appear to be rare or endangered. The system defines six levels of priority taxa: ;X: Threatened (Declared Rare Flora) – Presumed Extinct Taxa: These are taxa that are thought to be extinct, either because they have not been collected for over 50 years despite thorough searching, or because all known wild populations have been destroyed. They have been declared as such in accordance with the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950, and are therefore afforded legislative protecti ...

West River, Western Australia
West or Occident is one of the four cardinal directions or points of the compass. It is the opposite direction from east and is the direction in which the Sun sets on the Earth. Etymology The word "west" is a Germanic word passed into some Romance languages (''ouest'' in French, ''oest'' in Catalan, ''ovest'' in Italian, ''oeste'' in Spanish and Portuguese). As in other languages, the word formation stems from the fact that west is the direction of the setting sun in the evening: 'west' derives from the Indo-European root ''*wes'' reduced from ''*wes-pero'' 'evening, night', cognate with Ancient Greek ἕσπερος hesperos 'evening; evening star; western' and Latin vesper 'evening; west'. Examples of the same formation in other languages include Latin occidens 'west' from occidō 'to go down, to set' and Hebrew מַעֲרָב maarav 'west' from עֶרֶב erev 'evening'. Navigation To go west using a compass for navigation (in a place where magnetic north is the same ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jerramungup, Western Australia
Jerramungup is a Western Australian town located in the Great Southern agricultural region, southeast of Perth and west of the Gairdner River. The area was settled by Europeans prior to 1848, with the first homestead being built by John Hassell in 1848. The property was known as ''Jarramongup Station'' and was inherited by his son, Albert Young Hassell, who took up residence there with his wife Ethel after his father's death in 1885.Izett, EK 2014,Breaking new ground: early Australian ethnography in colonial women's writing, Doctor of Philosophy. The station was put up for sale by Edney Hassell and remained on the market for some time until it was acquired by the state government in 1950. The town of Jerramongup was established in 1953 to support a war service land settlement project that was initiated in 1949. The townsite was gazetted as Jerramungup on 12 August 1957, although the name Jerramongup remained in use until the 1960s. The local school was renamed Jerramungup ...

Ongerup, Western Australia
Ongerup is a town south-east of Perth and east of Gnowangerup in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. At the 2016 census Ongerup had a population of 93. History The name Ongerup means "place of the male kangaroo" in the local Noongar language. The area around Ongerup was explored by Surveyor General John Septimus Roe who passed through in 1848. In the 1870s the Moir family moved to the area and began grazing sheep along the Warperup Creek. In 1910 the land was surveyed into blocks priced at 10 shillings per acre before the townsite was gazetted in 1912. A local newspaper, ''The Gnowangerup Star and Tambellup-Ongerup Gazette'', was launched on 21 August 1915 with the final edition being printed in 2003. The first Ongerup Public Hall was built in 1927 but was replaced by the current building in 1953. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, kangaroo hunters and mallee bark strippers came to the area. The bark was sent to Germany for use in tanning. In 1936 t ...
