Eucalyptus Quinniorum
''Eucalyptus quinniorum'', commonly known as monkey gum, is a species of mallee or a small to medium-sized tree that is endemic to northern New South Wales. It has smooth bark with persistent, stringy bark near the base, linear to narrow lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, white flowers and hemispherical to cylindrical fruit.

It has smooth greyish bark with a small amount of rough, stringy bark near the base. Young plants and coppice regrowth have glossy green, egg-shaped to broadly lance-shaped leaves that are long and wide with a petiole long. Adult leaves are arranged alternately, the same shade of glossy, dark green on both sides, linear to narrow lance-shaped or curved, long and wide on a petiole long. The flower buds are arranged in leaf axils in groups of seven on a flattened, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Phebalium Verrucosum
''Phebalium verrucosum'' is a species of shrub that is endemic to New South Wales. It has branchlets densely covered with white scales, narrow elliptic, oblong or linear leaves covered with white scales on the lower side, and umbels of creamy white flowers with silvery or rust-coloured scales on the back of the petals. Description ''Phebalium verrucosum'' is a shrub that typically grows to a height of and has branchlets covered with white scales. Its leaves are narrow elliptic, oblong or linear, long and wide on a petiole long. The upper surface of the leaves is warty and the lower surface is covered with silvery and rust-coloured scales. The flowers are arranged in umbels of mostly three to five flowers on the ends of branchlets, sometimes singly in adjacent leaf axils, each flower on a pedicel long and covered with star-shaped white hairs. The sepals are joined at the base to form a cup-shaped calyx wide, warty and covered with white, star-shaped hairs. The petals are cr ...

Botany
Botany, also called , plant biology or phytology, is the science of plant life and a branch of biology. A botanist, plant scientist or phytologist is a scientist who specialises in this field. The term "botany" comes from the Ancient Greek word (''botanē'') meaning " pasture", " herbs" "grass", or " fodder"; is in turn derived from (), "to feed" or "to graze". Traditionally, botany has also included the study of fungi and algae by mycologists and phycologists respectively, with the study of these three groups of organisms remaining within the sphere of interest of the International Botanical Congress. Nowadays, botanists (in the strict sense) study approximately 410,000 species of land plants of which some 391,000 species are vascular plants (including approximately 369,000 species of flowering plants), and approximately 20,000 are bryophytes. Botany originated in prehistory as herbalism with the efforts of early humans to identify – and later cultivate – ed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Phyllanthus Sulcatus
''Phyllanthus'' is the largest genus in the plant family Phyllanthaceae. Estimates of the number of species in this genus vary widely, from 750David J. Mabberley. 2008. ''Mabberley's Plant-Book.'' third edition (2008). Cambridge University Press. to 1200. ''Phyllanthus'' has a remarkable diversity of growth forms including annual and perennial herbs, shrubs, climbers, floating aquatics, and pachycaulous succulents. Some have flattened leaflike stems called cladodes. It has a wide variety of floral morphologies and chromosome numbers and has one of the widest range of pollen types of any seed plant genus. Despite their variety, almost all ''Phyllanthus'' species express a specific type of growth called "phyllanthoid branching" in which the vertical stems bear deciduous, floriferous (flower-bearing), plagiotropic (horizontal or oblique) stems. The leaves on the main (vertical) axes are reduced to scales called "cataphylls", while leaves on the other axes develop normally. ...

Sauropus Anemoniflorus
The genus ''Sauropus'', of the family Phyllanthaceae, comprises about 40 species of herbs, shrubs or subshrubs, sometimes with woody bases. These plants can be monoecious or dioecious. They are distributed in Southeast Asia, Malesia and Australia. Taxonomy In a 2006 revision of the Phyllanthaceae, it was recommended that ''Sauropus'' be subsumed in ''Phyllanthus''; however, new combinations in ''Phyllanthus'' for former ''Sauropus'' species remain to be published. Description ''Sauropus'' species have alternate, entire leaves with short petioles and small stipules. Flowers appear at axils and mainly form clusters. There are 6 perianth segments divided in 2 whorls, with female flowers often having bigger perianths. At male flowers, the perianth is tube-like, with 3 stamen. The fruit is berry-like, ovoid or globose, and fleshy. Species include *'' Sauropus albiflorus'' *'' Sauropus amabilis'' *'' Sauropus amoebiflorous'' *''Sauropus androgynus'' - star gooseberry, katuk *''Sauro ...
