Macropteranthes

	Macropteranthes ''Macropteranthes'' is a genus containing five species of woody shrub native to northern Australia. Four species, ''M. fitzalanii, M. leichhardtii, M. leiocaulis'', and ''M. montana'', are found in Queensland, predominantly along the northeastern coast.

	Macropteranthes Kekwickii ''Macropteranthes kekwickii'', commonly known as bullwaddy, is a species of woody tree or shrub native to the Northern Territory in Australia. Description ''M. kekwickii'' is a dry-season deciduous tree that grows up to six metres high, with small leaves growing on short branchlets. Taxonomy ''M. kekwickii'' was first described by Ferdinand von Mueller, but the name was not published validly since the genus name had not been established. The description was finally published in 1864 in George Bentham's "Flora Australiensis". The type specimen was found at Newcastle Water, on M'Douall Stuart's Expedition." Ecology ''M. kekwickii'' is found mostly on laterite, lateritic soils in the Sturt Plateau bioregion of the Victoria Plains tropical savanna ecoregion. Together with Acacia shirleyi, lancewood (''Acacia shirleyi''), it forms a distinct plant community known as lancewood-bullwaddy woodland. The woodlands have a dense tree canopy and can form impenetrable thickets, with many ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Combretaceae The Combretaceae, often called the white mangrove family, are a family of flowering plants in the order Myrtales. The family includes about 530 species of trees, shrubs, and lianas in ca 10 genera. The family includes the leadwood tree, ''Combretum imberbe''. Three genera, ''Conocarpus'', ''Laguncularia'', and ''Lumnitzera'', grow in mangrove habitats (mangals). The Combretaceae are widespread in the subtropics and tropics. Some members of this family produce useful construction timber, such as idigbo from ''Terminalia ivorensis''. The commonly cultivated ''Quisqualis indica'' is now placed in the genus ''Combretum''. Many plants in the Quisqualis species contain the Non-proteinogenic amino acid excitotoxin Quisqualic acid, a potent AMPA agonist.Excitotoxic cell death and delayed rescue in human neurons derived from NT2 cells, M Munir, L Lu and P Mcgonigl, Journal of Neuroscience, Vol 15, 7847–7860 White mangroves The family name comes from the type genus ''Combretum''; it also ...

	Myrtales Genera The Myrtales are an order of flowering plants placed as a sister to the eurosids II clade as of the publishing of the ''Eucalyptus grandis'' genome in June 2014. The APG III system of classification for angiosperms still places it within the eurosids. This finding is corroborated by the placement of the Myrtales in the Malvid clade by the One Thousand Plant Transcriptomes Initiative. The following families are included as of APGIII: * Alzateaceae S. A. Graham * Combretaceae R. Br. ( leadwood family) * Crypteroniaceae A. DC. * Lythraceae J. St.-Hil. ( loosestrife and pomegranate family) * Melastomataceae Juss. (including Memecylaceae DC.) * Myrtaceae Juss. (myrtle family; including Heteropyxidaceae Engl. & Gilg, Psiloxylaceae Croizat) * Onagraceae Juss. (evening primrose and Fuchsia family) * Penaeaceae Sweet ex Guill. (including Oliniaceae Arn., Rhynchocalycaceae L. A. S. Johnson & B. G. Briggs) * Vochysiaceae A. St.-Hil. The Cronquist system gives essentially the same co ...
