Ingeae
The Mimosoideae are a traditional subfamily of trees, herbs, lianas, and shrubs in the pea family ( Fabaceae) that mostly grow in tropical and subtropical climates. They are typically characterized by having radially symmetric flowers, with petals that are twice divided (valvate) in bud and with numerous showy, prominent stamens. Recent work on phylogenetic relationships has found that the Mimosoideae form a clade nested with subfamily Caesalpinioideae and the most recent classification by ''The Legume Phylogeny Working Group'' refer to them as the Mimosoid clade within subfamily Caesalpinioideae. The group includes about 40 genera and 2,500 species. Taxonomy Some classification systems, for example the Cronquist system, treat the Fabaceae in a narrow sense, raising the Mimisoideae to the rank of family as Mimosaceae. The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group treats Fabaceae in the broad sense. The Mimosoideae were historically subdivided into four tribes (Acacieae, Ingeae, Mimoseae, a ...

Calliandra
''Calliandra'' is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae, in the mimosoid clade of the subfamily Caesalpinioideae. It contains about 140 species that are native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas. Description The genus comprises herbaceous perennial plants, shrubs, and rarely small trees, growing tall, with bipinnate leaves. The flowers are produced in cylindrical or globose inflorescences and have numerous long slender stamens which give rise to the common names powder-puff, powder puff plant, and fairy duster. These plants flower all year round, but the best blooming is in spring and summer. They can be easily pruned. Calliandra are often fed on by caterpillars, such as the larvae of statira sulphur (''Aphrissa statira''). It is available in many vibrant colours such as pink, white, etc. Species The following is an alphabetical listing of the 149 species in the genus ''Genus'' that are accepted by Plants of the World Online * ''Calliandra ...

Entada
''Entada'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae, in the mimosoid clade of the subfamily Caesalpinioideae. It consists of some 30 species of trees, shrubs and tropical lianas. About 21 species are known from Africa, six from Asia, two from the American tropics and one with a pantropical distribution. They have compound leaves and produce exceptionally large seedpods of up to long. Their seeds are buoyant and survive lengthy journeys via rivers and ocean currents, to eventually wash up on tropical beaches. Species The following species have been accepted: * ''Entada abyssinica'' Steudel ex A. Rich. * ''Entada africana'' Guill. & Perr. * ''Entada arenaria'' Schinz * ''Entada bacillaris'' F.White * ''Entada borneensis'' Ridl. * ''Entada camerunensis'' Villiers * ''Entada chrysostachys'' (Benth.)

Leucaena
''Leucaena'' is a genus of flowering plants in the mimosoid clade of the subfamily Caesalpinioideae of the family Fabaceae. It contains about 24 species of trees and shrubs, which are commonly known as leadtrees. They are native to the Americas, ranging from Texas in the United States south to Peru. The generic name is derived from the Greek word λευκός (''leukos''), meaning "white," referring to the flowers. Uses ''Leucaena'' species are grown for their variety of uses, including as green manure, a charcoal source, livestock fodder, and for soil conservation. The seeds (jumbie beans) can be used as beads. ''Leucaena'' planted for firewood on an area of will yield an energy equivalent of 1 million barrels of oil per year. Anthelmintic medicines are made from extracts of ''Leucaena'' seeds in Sumatra, Indonesia. Some species (namely ''Leucaena leucocephala'') have edible fruits (as unripe) and seeds. The seeds of ''Leucaena esculenta'' (in Mexico called ''guaje'' or ''hua ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kanaloa (plant)
''Kanaloa kahoolawensis'', the ''Ka palupalu o Kanaloa'' or ''kohe malama malama o kanaloa'',USFWS''Kanaloa kahoolawensis'' Species Profile/ref> is a species of flowering plant in the legume family, Fabaceae and is endemic to Hawaii. ''Kanaloa'' is a monotypic genus with the single species ''Kanaloa kahoolawensis''. History ''Kanaloa'' was discovered in 1992 by the botanists Ken Wood and Steve Perlman of the National Tropical Botanical Garden on Kahoolawe, a small island that was formerly used as a bombing range. Kahoolawe was a penal colony for the Hawaiian monarchy from 1826 to 1853, after which it was leased for ranching. Dry weather and ranching have devastated the island's vegetation. Only two wild plants of ''Kanaloa kahoolawensis'' have been observed growing on the island. The genus and species were formally named by Lorence and Wood in 1994. The genus name honors the Hawaiian deity Kanaloa, who according to legend used the island to rest and regain his energies. Scholars ...

Desmanthus
''Desmanthus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the mimosoid clade of the subfamily Caesalpinioideae of the pea family, Fabaceae. The name is derived from the Greek words δεσμός (''desmos''), meaning "bundle", and ἄνθος (''anthos''), meaning "flower". It contains about 24 species of herbs and shrubs that are sometimes described as being suffruiticose and have bipinnate leaves. ''Desmanthus'' is closely related to ''Leucaena'' and in appearance is similar to '' Neptunia''. Like ''Mimosa'' and ''Neptunia'', ''Desmanthus'' species fold their leaves in the evening. They are native to Mexico and North, Central and South America. Members of the genus are commonly known as bundleflowers. Donkey beans is another common name and originated in Central America, where ''Desmanthus'' species are highly regarded as fodder for these domestic draught animals.

Name This plant was first discovered in 1822 and named ''Acacia viridiramis'' by Burchell. In 1862, Harvey described the new genus ''Xerocladia'', based on his species ''Xerocladia zeyheri'' Harv. In 1891, Taubert studied this species and discovered that Burchell and Harvey were actually describing the same species. He also determined that the plant doesn't fit into the genus ''Acacia'' and kept the name ''Xerocladia''. Because the earliest publication (after 1753) has priority, Taubert made the new combination ''Xerocladia viridiramis'' (Burch.) Taub. In conclusion, ''Acacia viridiramis' ...
