Eucalyptus × Tinghaensis
''Eucalyptus'' × ''tinghaensis'' is a eucalypt that is native to New South Wales. It was first formally described in 1930 by William Blakely and Ernest McKie in the ''Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales'' from specimens collected near Tingha in 1929. According to George Chippendale in the '' Flora of Australia'', it is a hybrid between '' E. caliginosa'' and '' E. mckieana''. The name is accepted at Plants of the World Online but not by the 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 Syst ....

William Blakely
William Faris Blakely (November 1875 – 1 September 1941) was an Australian botanist and collector. From 1913 to 1940 he worked in the National Herbarium of New South Wales, working with Joseph Maiden on ''Eucalyptus'', Maiden named a ''red gum'' in his honour, ''Eucalyptus blakelyi''. His botanical work centred particularly on ''Acacias'', Loranthaceae and Eucalypts 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'', ''Allosyn ....

Eucalyptus Mckieana
''Eucalyptus mckieana'', commonly known as McKie's stringybark, is a species of tree that is endemic to New South Wales. It has rough, stringy bark on the trunk and branches, lance-shaped to curved adult leaves, flower buds in groups of between seven and eleven, white flowers and cup-shaped, barrel-shaped or hemispherical fruit. Description ''Eucalyptus mckieana'' is a tree that typically grows to a height of and forms a lignotuber. It is usually straight-trunked with reddish brown stringy or fibrous bark on the trunk to the ends of the branches. Young plants and coppice regrowth have stems that are more or less square in cross-section, and leaves that are egg-shaped at first, later narrow lance-shaped, long and wide on a short petiole. Adult leaves are lance-shaped to curved, the same shade of glossy green on both sides, long and wide on a petiole long. The flower buds are arranged in groups of seven, nine or eleven in leaf axils on an unbranched peduncle long, the in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 ...

Trees Of Australia
The flora of Australia comprises a vast assemblage of plant species estimated to over 30,000 vascular and 14,000 non-vascular plants, 250,000 species of fungi and over 3,000 lichens. The flora has strong affinities with the flora of Gondwana, and below the family level has a highly endemic angiosperm flora whose diversity was shaped by the effects of continental drift and climate change since the Cretaceous. Prominent features of the Australian flora are adaptations to aridity and fire which include scleromorphy and serotiny. These adaptations are common in species from the large and well-known families Proteaceae (''Banksia''), Myrtaceae (''Eucalyptus'' - gum trees), and Fabaceae ('' Acacia'' - wattle). The arrival of humans around 50,000 years ago and the settlement by Europeans from 1788, has had a significant impact on the flora. The use of fire-stick farming by Aboriginal people led to significant changes in the distribution of plant species over time, and the ...

Plants Of The World Online
Plants of the World Online (POWO) is an online database published by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. It was launched in March 2017 with the ultimate aim being "to enable users to access information on all the world's known seed-bearing plants by 2020". The initial focus was on tropical African Floras, particularly Flora Zambesiaca, Flora of West Tropical Africa and Flora of Tropical East Africa. The database uses the same taxonomical source as Kew's World Checklist of Selected Plant Families, which is the International Plant Names Index, and the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP). POWO contains 1,234,000 global plant names and 367,600 images.

''Eucalyptus caliginosa'', commonly known as broad-leaved stringybark or New England stringybark, is a tree that is endemic to eastern Australia. It has stringy bark, lance-shaped or curved adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven or nine, white flowers and more or less hemispherical fruit. It is common on the Northern Tablelands and North West Slopes of New South Wales and adjacent areas of Queensland. Description ''Eucalyptus caliginosa'' is a tree that typically grows to a height of and forms a lignotuber. The bark is rough, stringy, grey to reddish brown and extends to the smaller branches.

Ernest Norman McKie
Ernest Norman McKie, (1 July 1882 – 19 May 1948) was an Australian clergyman who was also an amateur botanist with a detailed knowledge of the eucalypts and grasses of the New England district of New South Wales. He was born in Barraba in 1882, entered St Andrew's College, University of Sydney where he graduated in 1906, then completed his theological studies before being posted to Manilla in 1908, then Bendemeer, later Guyra in 1912. McKie was also an amateur botanist and had a detailed knowledge of the eucalypts and grasses of the New England district of New South Wales.

George Chippendale
George Chippendale (18 April 1921 – 16 February 2010) was an Australian botanist and a strong proponent of growing Australian Native plants. As well as a career in botany, he also taught his love of botany to all who would listen through talks to children, special interest groups, walks on Canberra'a Black Mountain and more recently through the U3A (University of the Third Age), both in class and online. He knew the value of planting local native plants in gardens as they would survive local conditions and save water. Chippendale was born in Sydney, Australia, the eldest of six, and grew up in the Sydney suburb of Paddington. He left school at 14. After a short stint as a draper, his Mother helped him get a job at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney in 1936 as the tea boy. He stayed working at the Gardens until serving in the Australian Army during World War II. In 1943 he married Joan. Post war, he returned to the Gardens and due to his army service, was able to study for a Bach ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
