Lechenaultia Galactites
''Lechenaultia galactites'', commonly known as white leschenaultia, is a species of flowering plant in the family Goodeniaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect, robust subshrub or shrub with crowded, narrowly oblong to egg-shaped leaves, and white to pale blue flowers. Description ''Lechenaultia galactites'' is an erect, robust subshrub or shrub that typically grows to a height of . Its leaves are crowded, especially on the lower stems, narrowly oblong to egg-shaped, long and about wide. The flowers are arranged in groups near the ends of branchlets, and have linear sepals long. The petals are white to creamy-white or pale blue, about long and have long, soft hairs inside the petal tube. The petal lobes are more or less equal in size, the upper lobes up to wide and the lower lobes about long with wings up to about wide. Flowers have been collected from June to October, with an apparent peak in September. Taxonomy ''Lechenaultia galacti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Goodeniaceae
Goodeniaceae is a family (biology), family of flowering plants in the Order (biology), order Asterales. It contains about 404 species in twelve genera. The family is distributed mostly in Australia, except for the genus ''Scaevola (plant), Scaevola'', which is pantropical. Its species are found across most of Australia, being especially common in arid and semi-arid climates. Morphology Species in Goodeniaceae are generally Herbaceous plant, herbaceous with Phyllotaxis, spiral leaves. Flowers have a single plane of symmetry (monosymmetric; ''Brunonia'' being the sole exception), and are either fan-like (e.g., ''Scaevola (plant), Scaevola'') or bilabiate (as in ''Dampiera''). Corolla (flower), Corolla lobes often have two thin marginal wings, which also occur in other families of Asterales such as the Menyanthaceae and Argophyllaceae. The style bears a pollen-cup, also known as an indusium, at the tip, a unique character for the family. The indusium has a function in secondary polle ...

Endemic
Endemism is the state of a species being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, the Cape sugarbird is found exclusively in southwestern South Africa and is therefore said to be ''endemic'' to that particular part of the world. An endemic species can be also be referred to as an ''endemism'' or in scientific literature as an ''endemite''. For example '' Cytisus aeolicus'' is an endemite of the Italian flora. '' Adzharia renschi'' was once believed to be an endemite of the Caucasus, but it was later discovered to be a non-indigenous species from South America belonging to a different genus. The extreme opposite of an endemic species is one with a cosmopolitan distribution, having a global or widespread range. A rare alternative term for a species that is endemic is "precinctive", which applies to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sepal
A sepal () is a part of the flower of angiosperms (flowering plants). Usually green, sepals typically function as protection for the flower in bud, and often as support for the petals when in bloom., p. 106 The term ''sepalum'' was coined by Noël Martin Joseph de Necker in 1790, and derived . Collectively the sepals are called the calyx (plural calyces), the outermost whorl of parts that form a flower. The word ''calyx'' was adopted from the Latin ,Jackson, Benjamin, Daydon; A Glossary of Botanic Terms with their Derivation and Accent; Published by Gerald Duckworth & Co. London, 4th ed 1928 not to be confused with 'cup, goblet'. ''Calyx'' is derived from Greek 'bud, calyx, husk, wrapping' ( Sanskrit 'bud'), while is derived from Greek 'cup, goblet', and the words have been used interchangeably in botanical Latin. After flowering, most plants have no more use for the calyx which withers or becomes vestigial. Some plants retain a thorny calyx, either dried or live, as ...
