Mount Mee, Queensland
Mount Mee is a rural town and locality in the Moreton Bay Region, Queensland, Australia. In the , Mount Mee had a population of 484 people. Geography Mount Mee (also known as Bonnie Knob) is a mountain, located north of the town of Dayboro, in the D'Aguilar Range(), rising above sea level. History The area around Mount Mee was known to the indigenous inhabitants of the area as ''Dahmongah'', a word meaning "flying squirrel" or glider. The English name ''Mount Mee'' is possibly derived from another local word ''mia-mia'', meaning a ''view'' or ''lookout'', but this name was not formalised until the establishment of the school in 1899. Settlers began arriving in the area around Mount Mee in 1873, many being timber-getters attracted by the red cedar timber that was readily available in the area. Initially, timber cut down in the area was exported to the nearby towns of Caboolture, D'Aguilar and Woodford, but a sawmill was eventually built in the fledgling town. A number of la ...

Larva
A larva (; plural larvae ) is a distinct juvenile form many animals undergo before metamorphosis into adults. Animals with indirect development such as insects, amphibians, or cnidarians typically have a larval phase of their life cycle. The larva's appearance is generally very different from the adult form (''e.g.'' caterpillars and butterflies) including different unique structures and organs that do not occur in the adult form. Their diet may also be considerably different. Larvae are frequently adapted to different environments than adults. For example, some larvae such as tadpoles live almost exclusively in aquatic environments, but can live outside water as adult frogs. By living in a distinct environment, larvae may be given shelter from predators and reduce competition for resources with the adult population. Animals in the larval stage will consume food to fuel their transition into the adult form. In some organisms like polychaetes and barnacles, adults are immobil ...

Polyalthia Longifolia
''Monoon longifolium'', the false ashoka, also commonly known by its synonym ''Polyalthia longifolia'', is an Asian small tree species in the family Annonaceae. It is native to southern India and Sri Lanka, but has been widely introduced elsewhere in tropical Asia. This evergreen tree is known to grow over 20 m. in height and is commonly planted due to its effectiveness in alleviating noise pollution. It exhibits symmetrical pyramidal growth with willowy weeping pendulous branches and long narrow lanceolate leaves with undulate margins. ''Monoon longifolium'' is sometimes incorrectly identified as the ashoka tree (''Saraca indica'') because of the close resemblance of both trees. It can appear to have no branches, but in fact a ''M. longifolium'' allowed to grow naturally (without trimming the branches out for decorative reasons) grows into a normal large tree giving plenty of shade. Common names Common names include false ashoka, the Buddha tree, Indian mast tree, and In ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Annona Squamosa
''Annona squamosa'' is a small, well-branched tree or shrub from the family Annonaceae that bears edible fruits called sugar-apples or . It tolerates a tropical lowland climate better than its relatives ''Annona reticulata'' and ''Annona cherimola'' (whose fruits often share the same name) helping make it the most widely cultivated of these species. ''Annona squamosa'' is a small, semi-(or late) deciduous, much-branched shrub or small tree tall similar to soursop ('' Annona muricata''). Description The fruit of ''A. squamosa'' (sugar-apple) has sweet whitish pulp, and is popular in tropical markets.

Annona Muricata
Soursop (also called ''graviola, guyabano'', and in Hispanic America, ''guanábana'') is the fruit of ''Annona muricata'', a broadleaf, flowering, evergreen tree. It is native to the tropical regions of the Americas and the Caribbean and is widely propagated. It is in the same genus, '' Annona'', as cherimoya and is in the Annonaceae family. The soursop is adapted to areas of high humidity and relatively warm winters; temperatures below will cause damage to leaves and small branches, and temperatures below can be fatal. The fruit becomes dry and is no longer good for concentrate. With an aroma similar to pineapple, the flavor of the fruit has been described as a combination of strawberries and apple with sour citrus flavor notes, contrasting with an underlying thick creamy texture reminiscent of banana. Soursop is widely promoted (sometimes as "graviola") as an alternative cancer treatment, but there is no reliable medical evidence it is effective for treating cancer or an ...
