Lomatia Patagonica
''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 sp ...

Robert Brown (botanist, Born 1773)
Robert Brown (21 December 1773 – 10 June 1858) was a Scottish botanist and paleobotanist who made important contributions to botany largely through his pioneering use of the microscope. His contributions include one of the earliest detailed descriptions of the cell nucleus and cytoplasmic streaming; the observation of Brownian motion; early work on plant pollination and fertilisation, including being the first to recognise the fundamental difference between gymnosperms and angiosperms; and some of the earliest studies in palynology. He also made numerous contributions to plant taxonomy, notably erecting a number of plant families that are still accepted today; and numerous Australian plant genera and species, the fruit of his exploration of that continent with Matthew Flinders. Early life Robert Brown was born in Montrose on 21 December 1773, in a house that existed on the site where Montrose Library currently stands. He was the son of James Brown, a minister in the ...

Lomatia Silaifolia
''Lomatia silaifolia'', commonly known as crinkle bush or parsley fern, is a plant of the family, Proteaceae native to eastern Australia. Naturally found in open forest, it grows as a small shrub 1–2 m high with highly pinnate leaves reminiscent of parsley. The white inflorescences appear in summer. Description ''Lomatia silaifolia'' is a small upright shrub which grows high with glaucous smooth stems. It has highly pinnate leaves which can vary in appearance and are reminiscent of parsley. They are up to long. The white inflorescences appear in summer and are up to high. Taxonomy English botanist James Edward Smith first described this species as ''Embothrium silaifolium'' in 1793. At the time, ''Embothrium'' was a wastebasket taxon to which many proteaceae were assigned. It was given its current binomial name by Robert Brown in his 1810 ''On the natural order of plants called Proteaceae''. An alternative name, ''Tricondylus silaifolius'', published by Joseph Knight in hi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lomatia Preferruginea
''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.

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.
