Lacewood
Lacewood is a common name for the wood produced from a number of different trees, with mostly a striking appearance of their "lace-wood“, which gets its name from the lace like pattern: These include: * ''Allanblackia floribunda'', '' Allanblackia parviflora'', West African trees * '' Cardwellia sublimis'', an Australian tree * '' Elaeocarpus bojeri'', "bois dentelle", due to the unique patterns of its flowers * '' Euplassa pinnata'', '' Euplassa cantareirae'', trees from northeastern South america * '' Firmiana papuana'', a tree from New Guinea * ''Grevillea robusta'', an East Australian tree * ''Lagetta lagetto'', a Caribbean tree, lacebark tree, lace tree, "bois dentelle", the inner bark is formed of reticulated fibres so as to resemble a coarse kind of lace. * ''Macadamia'' spp., Australian trees * '' Monoon oblongifolium'' (Syn.: ''Polyalthia oblongifolia'') Mempisang, a Philppinean tree, yellow lacewood * ''Platanus'' spp.; ''Platanus occidentalis'' American sycamore, ''Pl ...

Roupala Montana
''Roupala montana'' is a species of shrub or tree in the family Proteaceae which is native to much of the Neotropics. It is a morphologically variable species with four recognised varieties. The species is used medicinally in Venezuela, and as an aphrodisiac in Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela. Description The species ranges in size from shrubs to trees, usually tall, but sometimes ranging up to tall. The leaves are usually simple in adult plants, but are occasionally compound. It is an ochlospecies—a species that is highly variable morphologically, and that variability "cannot be satisfactorily accommodated within a formal classification"—with a very wide distribution. Consequently, a large number of species and varieties have been described based on variations between collections. Taxonomy The species was first described by Jean Baptiste Christophore Fusée Aublet in 1775. The name ''Roupala'' was based on ''roupale'', a name used locally in French Guiana. The Latin s ...

Lace
Lace is a delicate fabric made of yarn or thread in an open weblike pattern, made by machine or by hand. Generally, lace is divided into two main categories, needlelace and bobbin lace, although there are other types of lace, such as knitted or crocheted lace. Other laces such as these are considered as a category of their specific craft. Knitted lace, therefore, is an example of knitting. This article considers both needle lace and bobbin lace. While some experts say both needle lace and bobbin lace began in Italy in the late 1500s, there are some questions regarding its origins. Originally linen, silk, gold, or silver threads were used. Now lace is often made with cotton thread, although linen and silk threads are still available. Manufactured lace may be made of synthetic fiber. A few modern artists make lace with a fine copper or silver wire instead of thread. Etymology The word lace is from Middle English, from Old French ''las'', noose, string, from Vulgar Latin *' ...

Platanus
''Platanus'' is a genus consisting of a small number of tree species native to the Northern Hemisphere. They are the sole living members of the family Platanaceae. All mature members of ''Platanus'' are tall, reaching in height. All except for '' P. kerrii'' are deciduous, and most are found in riparian or other wetland habitats in the wild, though proving drought-tolerant in cultivation. The hybrid London plane (''Platanus ''×'' acerifolia'') has proved particularly tolerant of urban conditions, and has been widely planted in London and elsewhere in the United Kingdom. They are often known in English as ''planes'' or ''plane trees''. A formerly used name that is now rare is ''plantain tree'' (not to be confused with other, unrelated, species with the name). Some North American species are called ''sycamores'' (especially ''Platanus occidentalis''), although the term is also used for several unrelated species of trees.

Appalachian Dulcimer
The Appalachian dulcimer (many variant names; see below) is a fretted string instrument of the zither family, typically with three or four strings, originally played in the Appalachian region of the United States. The body extends the length of the fingerboard, and its fretting is generally diatonic. Name The Appalachian dulcimer has many variant names. Most often it is simply called a dulcimer (also rendered as "dulcimore", "dulcymore", "delcimer", "delcimore", ''etc.''). When it needs to be distinguished from the unrelated hammered dulcimer, various adjectives are added (drawn from location, playing style, position, shape, etc.), for example: mountain dulcimer; Kentucky dulcimer; plucked dulcimer; fretted dulcimer; lap dulcimer; teardrop dulcimer; box dulcimer; etc. The instrument has also acquired a number of nicknames (some shared by other instruments): "harmonium", "hog fiddle", "music box", "harmony box", and "mountain zither".

Roupala Cordialis
''Roupala'' is a Neotropical genus of woody shrubs and trees in the plant family Proteaceae. Its 34 species are generally found in forests from sea level to 4000 m altitude from Mexico to Argentina. Taxonomy and naming The genus was described by Jean Baptiste Christophore Fusée Aublet in 1775, its name derived from a local name ''roupale'' in French Guiana. In their 1975 monograph on the Proteaceae, Lawrie Johnson and Barbara Briggs placed it in a subtribe Roupalinae alongside the New Caledonian genus ''Kermadecia'' as the genera had similar floral parts and leaves. Both taxa also have 14 chromosome pairs. In 2006, the family's classification was redefined using molecular data. Here, ''Roupala'' emerged as a sister to the genera ''Orites'' and ''Neorites'', with ''Knightia'' as the next most closely related taxon, while ''Kermadecia'' was not related. They thus placed the first three genera in the subtribe ''Roupalinae'', conceding that the next closest relatives of this grou ...

Platanus Occidentalis
''Platanus occidentalis'', also known as American sycamore, American planetree, western plane, occidental plane, buttonwood, and water beech, is a species of ''Platanus'' native to the eastern and central United States, the mountains of northeastern Mexico, extreme southern Ontario, and possibly extreme southern Quebec. It is usually called sycamore in North America, a name which can refer to other types of trees in other parts of the world. The American sycamore is a long-lived species, typically surviving at least 200 years and likely as long as 500–600 years. The species epithet ''occidentalis'' is Latin for "western", referring to the Western Hemisphere, because at the time when it was named by Carl Linnaeus, the only other species in the genus was '' P. orientalis'' ("eastern"), native to the Eastern Hemisphere. Description An American sycamore tree can often be easily distinguished from other trees by its mottled bark which flakes off in large irregular masses, leaving t ...
