Iriartea
''Iriartea'' is a genus in the palm family Arecaceae, native to Central and South America. The best-known species – and probably the only one – is ''Iriartea deltoidea'', which is found from Nicaragua, south into Bolivia and a great portion of Western Amazonian basin. It is the most common tree in many forests in which it occurs. Names It is known by such names as ''bombona'' (which can also refer to other palms, e.g. '' Attalea regia'') or ''cacho de vaca'' (which can refer to many other plants, like the Bignoniaceae ''Godmania aesculifolia'' or the orchid '' Myrmecophila humboldtii''). In the Murui Huitoto language of southwestern Colombia, it is called ''jɨagɨna'' or ''jɨaìgɨna'',Marín-Corba ''et al.'' (2005) in western Ecuador it is known as ''pambil'', and in Peru it is known as the ''pona'' palm. Description These palms are canopy trees growing to 20–35 m tall. ''I. deltoidea'' is easily recognized by the prominent bulge in the center of its trunk, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Arecoideae
The Arecaceae is a family of perennial flowering plants in the monocot order Arecales. Their growth form can be climbers, shrubs, tree-like and stemless plants, all commonly known as palms. Those having a tree-like form are called palm trees. Currently, 181 genera with around 2,600 species are known, most of which are restricted to tropical and subtropical climates. Most palms are distinguished by their large, compound, evergreen leaves, known as fronds, arranged at the top of an unbranched stem. However, palms exhibit an enormous diversity in physical characteristics and inhabit nearly every type of habitat within their range, from rainforests to deserts. Palms are among the best known and most extensively cultivated plant families. They have been important to humans throughout much of history. Many common products and foods are derived from palms. In contemporary times, palms are also widely used in landscaping. In many historical cultures, because of their importance as ...

Dictyocaryum
''Dictyocaryum'' is a monoecious genus of flowering plant in the palm family found in South America. It is closely related to the genus ''Iriartea''; they are commonly called araque or palma real. As many as eleven species have been described but this number is reduced to three in most current accounts. The genus name translates from two Greek words meaning "net" and "nut", describing the thick network of raphe fibers around the seed.Riffle, Robert L. and Craft, Paul (2003) ''An Encyclopedia of Cultivated Palms''. Portland: Timber Press. / Description ''Dictocaryum'' palms are usually solitary in nature though ''D. ptarianum'' will occasionally cluster in habitat. All three plants have conical masses of stilt roots at the base which are armed with spines. These stilt roots, in the case of D. fuscum, can be up to four inches (ten centimeters) thick. The trunks are conspicuously ringed by leaf scars, to 30 cm wide, and in ''D. lamarckianum'' reach over 20 m in height. Al ...

Socratea
''Socratea'' is a genus of five species of palms found in tropical Central America and South America. It is commonly believed that ''Socratea'' can move away from where it germinated by growing roots on one side and abandoning them on the other. Attempts to detect this behavior have failed. What is known for a fact is that these roots can, in the case of S. montana, grow to a length of 16.5 feet (five meters) and up to three inches (eight cm) in diameter. * ''Socratea exorrhiza ''Socratea exorrhiza'', the walking palm or cashapona, is a palm native to rainforests in tropical Central and South America.

List Of Arecaceae Genera
This is a list of all the genus, genera in the botanical family Arecaceae, the palm family, based on Baker & Dransfield (2016), which is a revised listing of genera given in the 2008 edition of ''Genera Palmarum''. Taxonomy This is a list of all the genus, genera in the botanical family Arecaceae, the palm family, arranged by tribe (biology), tribes and subtribes within the family. ''Genera Palmarum'' (2008) lists 183 genera. ''Lanonia'', ''Saribus'', and the monotypic genera ''Jailoloa'', ''Wallaceodoxa'', ''Manjekia'', and ''Sabinaria'', which were described after 2008, have also been included below.

Carl Georg Oscar Drude
Carl Georg Oscar Drude (5 June 1852 in Braunschweig – 1 February 1933 in Dresden) was a German botanist. From 1870 he studied science and chemistry at the Collegium Carolinum in Braunschweig, relocating to the University of Göttingen the following year, where he was influenced by August Grisebach (1814-1879). In 1873 he obtained his PhD and subsequently served as an assistant to Friedrich Gottlieb Bartling (1798-1875). From 1876 to 1879 he worked as a lecturer in botany at Göttingen, followed by an appointment as chair of botany at Dresden Technical University (1879). Here he served as director of its botanical gardens, which he systematically configured according to a phytogeographical principle. He remained at Dresden until his retirement in 1920, twice serving as university rector (1906-1907, 1918-1919). He is known best for his research in the field of plant geography, that included mapping of the world's different floristic zones. With Adolf Engler Heinrich Gus ...

Wettinia
''Wettinia'' is a palm genus, consisting of flowering plants in the family Arecaceae. The genus, established in 1837, contains some 20 species, but more seem to await discovery considering that 4 species - '' W. aequatorialis'', '' W. lanata'', '' W. minima'' and '' W. panamensis'' - were described as late as 1995. The genus is broadly divided into two groups. One group has the fruits tightly packed, while the other, formerly classified as genus ''Catoblastus'', has fruits scattered along the inflorescence branches. It is not known whether these groups are both monophyletic. The genus is named after Frederick Augustus II of Saxony, of the House of Wettin. Morphology Palms of the genus ''Wettinia'' are monoecious, medium-sized to large, and typically solitary-trunked. They have a low, dense cone of brown or black stilt roots, and pinnate leaves. The rope-like inflorescences of the plant emerge from leathery spathes, and grow in a circular pattern around one or more trunk rings ...

Monocot Tribes
Monocotyledons (), commonly referred to as monocots, (Lilianae ''sensu'' Chase & Reveal) are grass and grass-like flowering plants (angiosperms), the seeds of which typically contain only one embryonic leaf, or cotyledon. They constitute one of the major groups into which the flowering plants have traditionally been divided; the rest of the flowering plants have two cotyledons and are classified as dicotyledons, or dicots. Monocotyledons have almost always been recognized as a group, but with various taxonomic ranks and under several different names. The APG III system of 2009 recognises a clade called "monocots" but does not assign it to a taxonomic rank. The monocotyledons include about 60,000 species, about a quarter of all angiosperms. The largest family in this group (and in the flowering plants as a whole) by number of species are the orchids (family Orchidaceae), with more than 20,000 species. About half as many species belong to the true grasses (Poaceae), which are econ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
