Ipê Amarelo Na Canastra
''Handroanthus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Bignoniaceae.David J. Mabberley. 2008. ''Mabberley's Plant-Book'' third edition (2008). Cambridge University Press: UK. It consists of 30 species of trees, known in Latin America by the common names poui, pau d'arco, or ipê. The latter sometimes appears as epay or simply ipe (unaccented) in English. The large timber species are sometimes called lapacho or guayacan, but these names are more properly applied to the species ''Handroanthus lapacho'' and ''Handroanthus guayacan'', respectively. The name ''Handroanthus'' was established in 1970,''Handroanthus'' in International Plant Names Index. (see ''External links'' below). but was not generally accepted. In 1992, its species were included in ''Tabebuia'' in the most recent revision of that genus.Alwyn H. Gentry. 1992. "Bignoniaceae: Part II (Tribe Tecomeae)". ''Flora Neotropica'' Monograph 25(part 2):1-150. ''Handroanthus'' was resurrected in 2007 when a comparison ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Persea Indica
''Persea indica'' is a large, evergreen tree in the laurel family (Lauraceae), native to humid uplands on Madeira and the Canary Islands in the North Atlantic. It belongs to the genus ''Persea'', a group of evergreen trees including the avocado. It is threatened by habitat loss. It has been introduced to a number of islands in the nearby Azores. Overview The family Lauraceae was part of Gondwanaland flora. There they spread over most of the continent. The genus ''Persea'' died out in increasingly xerophytic Africa, starting with the freezing of Antarctica about 20 million years ago and the formation of the Benguela current. The genus is Local extinction, extinct in Africa, save for ''P. indica'', which survives in the fog shrouded mountains of the Canary Islands, which with Madagascar, constitute Africa's Laurel forest plant refugia. Fossil evidence indicates that the genus originated in West Africa during the Paleocene, and spread to Asia, to South America, and to Europe and ...

Enterolobium Timbouva
''Enterolobium cyclocarpum'', commonly known as guanacaste, caro caro, monkey-ear tree, or elephant-ear tree, is a species of flowering tree in the pea family, Fabaceae, that is native to tropical regions of the Americas, from central Mexico south to northern Brazil (Roraima) and Venezuela. It is known for its large proportions, expansive, often spherical crown, and curiously shaped seedpods. The abundance of this tree, especially in Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica, where it is prized for the shady relief it provides from the intense sun, coupled with its immensity, have made it a widely recognized species. It is the national tree of Costa Rica. In North America, it is often called elephant-ear tree, due to the shape of the seedpods. Other common names include devil's ear and earpod tree, ''parota'', and ''orejón'' (Spanish) orhuanacaxtle'' (Nahuatl). In El Salvador, it is known as ''conacaste''. In the Yucatán peninsula, it is known by the Mayan name, ''pich.'' In Panama, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hymenaea Courbaril
''Hymenaea courbaril'', the courbaril or West Indian locust, is a tree common in the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. It is a hardwood that is used for furniture, flooring, and decoration. Its hard fruit pods have edible dry pulp surrounding the seeds. Its sap, called animé, is used for incense, perfume, and varnish. Names ''Hymenaea courbaril'' is commonly known as the "courbaril", "West Indian locust", "Brazilian copal", and "amami-gum", and "Jatobá Although it is sometimes denominated "Brazilian cherry" and "South American cherry", it is not a cherry, cherry tree but a legume of the family Fabaceae. It is also known as "stinking toe", "old man's toe", and "stinktoe" because of the unpleasant odor of the edible pulp of its seed pods. Fruit Its fruit, also known as locust, was a major food for indigenous peoples. Those who eat it do not consider the odor unpleasant. The pulp, in spite of its somewhat disagreeable odor, has a sweet taste; is consumed raw; may ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It is named after ''ingá'', a Brazilian native tree whose name is of Tupi origin. From Ingá it is possible to see some of the most famous views of the Rio de Janeiro Rio de Janeiro ( , , ; literally 'River of January'), or simply Rio, is the capital of the state of the same name, Brazil's third-most populous state, and the second-most populous city in Brazil, after São Paulo.

Dalbergia Nigra
''Dalbergia nigra'', commonly known as the Bahia rosewood, jacarandá-da-Bahia, Brazilian rosewood, Rio rosewood, jacarandá-do-brasil, pianowood, caviúna, graúna, jacarandá-una or obuina is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae. Description ''Dalbergia nigra'' produces a very hard and heavy wood, characteristically varied in colour from brick red through various shades of brown (medium to nearly black). Pieces that feature veins of black colouration called ''spider webbing'' or ''landscape grain'' are especially prized. Another distinguishing feature is its outstanding resonance. An evenly cut piece that is tapped emits a bright metallic ring that sustains. This property, combined with its beauty, has made Brazilian rosewood a favourite of musical instrument makers for centuries. Brazilian rosewood is highly resistant to insect attacks. There are many species in the genus ''Dalbergia'' that can be confused with ''Dalbergia nigra'', but the latter can be recognised by i ...

Mimosa Pudica
''Mimosa pudica'' (from la, pudica "shy, bashful or shrinking"; also called sensitive plant, sleepy plant, action plant, touch-me-not, shameplant) is a creeping annual or perennial flowering plant of the pea/legume family Fabaceae. It is often grown for its curiosity value: the compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken, defending themselves from harm, and re-open a few minutes later. In the UK it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. The species is native to the Caribbean and South and Central America, but is now a pantropical weed, and can now be found in the Southern United States, South Asia, East Asia, Micronesia, Australia, South Africa, and West Africa as well. It is not shade-tolerant and is primarily found on soils with low nutrient concentrations. ''Mimosa pudica'' is well known for its rapid plant movement. Like a number of other plant species, it undergoes changes in leaf orientation termed "sleep" or nyctinastic moveme ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Erythrina Verna
''Erythrina mulungu'' (Mulungu) is a Brazilian ornamental tree and medicinal plant native to the ''cerrado'' and ''caatinga'' ecoregions in Brazil, South America. Description This tree reaches up to 15 meters in height. Seeds The red-orange seeds germinate in organo-sandy substrates covered with a layer between 0.5 – 2 cm of the same, being irrigated daily, emerging between 7 and 16 days having high germination rate. Breaking dormancy is not usually necessary. But when it is needed, it is performed through germinative treatments consisting of mechanical scarification of the area opposite to the hilum and immersion in water for 24 hours. The seeds are considered very toxic. Ingestion should be avoided and there is a danger of death. Herbal medicine Several Erythrina tree species are used by indigenous peoples in the Amazon as medicines, insecticides, and fish poisons. Tinctures and decoctions made from the leaves or barks of Mulungu are often used in Brazilian tr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pluchea Sagittalis
''Pluchea'' is a genus of flowering plants in the tribe Inuleae within the family Asteraceae. Members of this genus might be known as camphorweeds, plucheas, or less uniquely fleabanes. Some, such as ''P. carolinensis'' and ''P. odorata'', are called sourbushes. There are plants of many forms, from annual and perennial herbs to shrubs and trees, and there is variation in the morphology of leaves, flowers, and fruits.Perera, W., et al. (2007)Flavonols from leaves of ''Pluchea carolinensis'' (Jacq.) G.Don (Asteraceae).'' Revista Latinoamericana de Química'' 35(3), 68-73.
