Khaki
The color khaki (, ) is a light shade of tan with a slight yellowish tinge. Khaki has been used by many armies around the world for uniforms and equipment, particularly in arid or desert regions, where it provides camouflage relative to sandy or dusty terrain. It has been used as a color name in English since 1848 when it was first introduced as a military uniform. In Western fashion, it is a standard color for smart casual dress trousers for civilians, which are also often called ''khakis''. In British English and some other Commonwealth usage, ''khaki'' may also refer to a shade of green known in the US as olive drab. Etymology ''Khaki'' is a loanword from Urdu خاکی 'soil-colored', which in turn comes from Persian خاک ''khâk'' 'soil' + ی (adjectival ending); it came into English via the British Indian Army. Origin Khaki was first worn as a uniform in the Corps of Guides that was raised in December 1846 by Henry Lawrence (1806–1857), agent to the Governor-Gen ...

Black Stilt
The black stilt (''Himantopus novaezelandiae'') or kakī (Māori) is a wading bird found in New Zealand. It is one of the world's rarest birds, with 169 adults surviving in the wild as of May 2020. Adult kakī have distinctive black plumage, long pink legs, and a long thin black bill. Black stilts largely breed in the Mackenzie Basin in the South Island, and are threatened by introduced feral cats, ferrets, and hedgehogs as well as habitat degradation from hydroelectric dams, agriculture, and invasive weeds. Taxonomy and systematics Black stilts are one of several species in the genus ''Himantopus'', classified along with avocets in the family Recurvirostridae. Although genetically and behaviourally distinct from pied stilts (''Himantopus himantopus''), they are able to successfully hybridise with them. Hybridisation and dilution of the gene pool is one reason black stilts are threatened with extinction. Black and pied stilts in New Zealand represent two colonisations of pie ...

Diospyros Kaki
''Diospyros kaki'', the Oriental persimmon, Chinese persimmon, Japanese persimmon or kaki persimmon, is the most widely cultivated species of the genus '' Diospyros''. Although its first botanical description was not published until 1780,Published in ''Nova Acta Soc. Sc. Upsal.'' iii. 208, author Carl Peter Thunberg, hunb.(1780); later in ''Fl. Jap.'' 157, author Thunb. (1784). ''D. kaki'' is among the oldest cultivated plants, having been in use in China for more than 2000 years. Names Whether the species was first described by Carl Peter Thunberg or Carl Linnaeus the Younger is disputed. The scientific name ''Diospyros kaki'' L. f. may be used erroneously for this plant. However, ''Diospyros kaki'' L. f., published in 1781, is a later homonym of ''Diospyros kaki'' Thunb., published in 1780. So the name ''Diospyros kaki'' L. f. is taxonomically illegitimate and not accepted. It is called ''shi'' (柿) in Chinese, ''kaki'' (柿) in Japanese, ''gam'' (감) in Korean, kesemek i ...

Kaki Klon Suphap
''Kaki Klon Suphap'' ( th, กากีกลอนสุภาพ) is Thai narrative poem in the form of ''klon suphap'', written by Chaophraya Phra Khlang (Hon) during the reign of King Rama I (1782–1809). It is based on the ''Kakati Jataka'' from the Pali Canon, and tells the tale of Nang Kaki (Lady Kaki), a stunningly beautiful palace consort who through coincidences and misfortune, ends up having to consort with various different male characters.
