Lomatia Myricoides
''Lomatia myricoides'' , commonly known as the river lomatia, is a shrub native to New South Wales and Victoria in southeastern Australia. Description ''Lomatia myricoides'' grows as a woody shrub or small tree, reaching high, or rarely up to high. The leaves are lance-shaped or oblong, long and wide and have a pointed apex. They are glabrous and the leaf edges may be straight or adorned with several serrations. The flowers grow in groups in leaf axils, the groups long and usually shorter than the leaves. The flowers are white or cream in colour, though pink-tinged flowers have been recorded. Taxonomy German botanist Karl Friedrich von Gaertner first described this species as ''Embothrium myricoides'' in 1807. At the time, ''Embothrium'' was a wastebasket taxon to which many proteaceae were assigned. It was given its current binomial name by Karel Domin in 1921. The species name comes from the resemblance of the leaves to those of the genus ''Myrica''. (The suffix ''-oide ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Karl Friedrich Von Gaertner
Karl Friedrich von Gaertner (or Carl Friedrich von Gärtner) (1 May 1772 – 1 September 1850) was a well-known Germany, German botanist, and the son of Joseph Gaertner. He was a pioneer in the study of Hybrid (biology), hybrids, and he is considered an important influence on Gregor Mendel. Gärtner, who was a protestant, challenged the doctrine of Carl Linnaeus of the "new special creation" which stated that new species of vegetation could arise through hybridization. He defended the stability of species, and argued that although the transmutation of species was evidently possible, the new species would not last because of a ''law of reversion'' which prevented them from spreading freely. As was reported in the words of Mendel: Gärtner is mentioned 17 times in Gregor Mendel's short famous paper ''Experiments on Plant Hybridization'' and 32 times in the first edition of Charles Darwin's ''On the Origin of Species'.'' He also is the most cited by nominal appearances in the sixth ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lomatia Myricoides IMG 20180128 084545 (39907430792)
''Lomatia'' is a genus of 12 species of evergreen flowering plants in the protea family Proteaceae. Within the family, they have been placed, alone, in their own subtribe, Lomatiinae according to Johnson & Briggs 1975 classification of the family and subsequently in ''Flora of Australia'' (1995). The genus has a Pacific Rim distribution, with members native to eastern Australia and southern South America, forming a part of the Antarctic flora. The species range from prostrate shrubs less than tall to small trees up to tall. Genetic analysis using microsatellite markers showed that species found close together geographically are most closely related to each other. ''Lomatia dentata'', then ''L. hirsuta'' and ''L. ferruginea'' all diverged successively from the lineage that gave rise to Australian species. The three Tasmanian species (with ''L. tasmanica'' sister to the other two species) are sister to the mainland Australian group. ''L. tasmanica'' of the three tasmania specie ...

Joseph Maiden
Joseph Henry Maiden (25 April 1859 – 16 November 1925) was a botanist who made a major contribution to knowledge of the Australian flora, especially the genus ''Eucalyptus''. This botanist is denoted by the author abbreviation when citing a botanical name. Life Joseph Maiden was born in St John's Wood in northwest London. He studied science at the University of London, but due to ill health he did not complete the course. As part of his treatment he was advised to take a long sea voyage, and so in 1880 he sailed for New South Wales. In 1881, Maiden was appointed first curator of the Technological Museum in Sydney (now the Powerhouse Museum), remaining there until 1896. While there, he published an article in 1886 describing what he called "some sixteenth century maps of Australia". These were the so-called Dieppe maps, the Rotz (1547), the Harleian or Dauphin (mid-1540s), and the Desceliers (1550), photo-lithographic reproductions of which had been published by the Briti ...

Phytophthora Cinnamomi
''Phytophthora cinnamomi'' is a soil-borne water mould that produces an infection which causes a condition in plants variously called "root rot", "dieback", or (in certain '' Castanea'' species), "ink disease". The plant pathogen is one of the world's most invasive species and is present in over 70 countries around the world. Host range and symptoms The host range for ''Phytophythora cinnamomi'' is very broad. It is distributed worldwide and causes disease on hundreds of hosts. The disease affects a range of economic groups, including food crops such as avocado and pineapple as well as trees and woody ornamentals such as Fraser firs, shortleaf pines, loblolly pines, azaleas, camellia, boxwood, causing root rot and dieback. It is a root pathogen that causes root rot and death of host plants. Some symptoms include: wilting, decreased fruit size, decrease in yield, collar rot, gum exudation, necrosis, leaf chlorosis, leaf curl, and stem cankers. Another symptom is that it can cause ...

Gleichenia Dicarpa
''Gleichenia dicarpa'', commonly known as pouched coral fern or tangle fern, is a small fern of the family Gleicheniaceae found in eastern Australia, New Caledonia and New Zealand. It forms tangled thickets in wet places such as swamps and riverbanks. Taxonomy Collected by Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander in November 1769 at Mercury Bay in New Zealand, ''G. dicarpa'' appeared in the 1810 work ''Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae'', authored by prolific botanist Robert Brown. Its genus name honours the German botanist W.F. von Gleichen, and its species name is Ancient Greek for "two fruit". Common names in New Zealand include tangle fern, Spider fern, and swamp umbrella fern. Australian common names include pouched coral fern, and wiry coral fern. The taxonomy of ''G. dicarpa'' is more complicated than previously thought; a genetic study of the DNA of Gleicheniaceae from New Zealand and Tasmania indicate that a smaller shorter-branched "upland" form from New Zealand is in fact ...
