Muellerina Eucalyptoides
''Muellerina eucalyptoides'', commonly known as creeping mistletoe, is a hemiparasitic aerial shrub in the family Loranthaceae. The species is endemic to Australia. Taxonomy '' Muellerina'' is a member of Santalales, the mistletoe order, placed within the family Loranthaceae. The name ''Muellerina'' was first published by Philippe Édouard Léon Van Tieghem in 1895, where one New Zealand species, ''Muellerina raoullii'', and two Australian species (''Muellerina celastroides'' and ''M. eucalyptifolia'' - now ''M. eucalyptoides'') are given. Further Australian ''Muellerina'' species are listed in van Tieghem. Another article by van Tieghem further discussing the relationships of Loranthaceae genera is van Tieghem. ''Muellerina eucalyptoides'' was first described as ''Loranthus eucalyptoides'' by de Candolle in 1830, and revised in 1962 to ''Muellerina eucalyptoides'' by Barlow Description ''M. eucalyptoides'' is pendulous in habit, unlike other ''Muellerina'' species, but ha ...

Mature buds are oval, long and wide with a conical to rounded oper ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ogyris Abrota
''Ogyris abrota'', the dark purple azure, is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. It is found in Australia, from southern Queensland to south-eastern Australia. The wingspan is about 40 mm. The upper surface of the wings of the males is purple with black margins. Females are brown with a large cream patch on the forewings. The larvae feed on ''Amyema congener'', ''Dendrophthoe vitellina'', '' Muellerina celastroides'' and ''Muellerina eucalyptoides''. The larvae are pinkish brown with dark markings. They are attended by ants from the ''Crematogaster'', ''Rhytidoponera'' and ''Technomyrmex'' genera, as well as ''Linepithema humile The Argentine ant (''Linepithema humile''), formerly ''Iridomyrmex humilis'', is an ant native to northern Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and southern Brazil.

Casuarina Glauca
''Casuarina glauca'', commonly known as the swamp she-oak, swamp oak, grey oak, or river oak, is a species of ''Casuarina'' native to the east coast of Australia. It is found from central Queensland south to southern New South Wales. It has become naturalised in the Everglades in Florida where it is considered a weed. Taxonomy Franz Sieber described the swamp oak as ''Casuarina glauca'' in 1826. The species name is derived from the Latin ''glauca'' "glaucous". The Kabi name for the plant, ''bilai'', was used for the town and locality of Bli Bli, Queensland. The gadigal name is ''guman''. It is closely related to ''C. cunninghamiana''. Hybrids with ''C. cunninghamiana'' subsp. ''cunninghamiana'' have been recorded where the two species co-occur, such as at Lower Portland and Wisemans Ferry. Description left, closeup of new growth, showing segmented branchlets with tiny brown teethlike leaves at nodes of segments The swamp oak grows as medium sized tree, 8–20 m high tree, or ...

Allocasuarina Verticillata
''Allocasuarina verticillata'', commonly known as drooping she-oak or drooping sheoak, is a nitrogen fixing native tree of southeastern Australia. Originally collected in Tasmania and described as ''Casuarina verticillata'' by French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck in 1786, it was moved to its current genus in 1982 by Australian botanist Lawrie Johnson. The 1889 book ''The Useful Native Plants of Australia'' records common names of the plant included "Shingle Oak," "Coast She-oak," " River Oak," " Salt-water Swamp Oak" and was called "Worgnal" by the Indigenous people of the Richmond and Clarence River areas of New South Wales. It also records that, "In cases of severe thirst, great relief may be obtained from chewing the foliage of this and other species, which, being of an acid nature, produces a flow of saliva—a fact well-known to bushmen who have traversed waterless portions of the country. This acid is closely allied to citric acid, and may prove identical with it. Childr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Allocasuarina Torulosa
''Allocasuarina torulosa'', the rose she-oak or forest oak, is a tree which grows in sub-rainforest (just outside the main forest area) of Queensland and New South Wales, Australia. There, it is typically found on coastal footslopes, hills, and plains. Originally described as ''Casuarina torulosa'' by William Aiton, it was moved to its current genus in 1982 by Australian botanist Lawrie Johnson. It is the type species of the genus ''Allocasuarina''. ''A. torulosa'' is an evergreen tree that typically reaches 12-18 metres (40-60 feet) tall and 4.5-7.5 metres (15-25 feet) wide. It appears to have needle-like leaves, but these are actually twigs; the real leaves are actually in the joint of the needles and appear in whorls of four. These needles have a weeping, pendulous appearance, and turn reddish-brown in the winter. The tree produces warty cones 15-33 millimeters long and 15-15 millimeters in diameter. Its bark is thick and corky. The timber is reddish pink to brown. It is pri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Allocasuarina Littoralis
''Allocasuarina littoralis'', commonly known as black sheoak, black she-oak, or river black-oak, is an endemic medium-sized Australian tree (usually up to 8 metres, but sometimes to 15 metres - coarse shrub in exposed maritime areas). A. littoralis is named for its growth near the coast; this is somewhat misleading, as it will grow well both inland and in coastal zones. Studies have shown that in long-time unburnt coastal woodlands, ''A. littoralis'' has replaced the original ''Eucalyptus''-dominated woodland. Description This evergreen Casaurina tree is noted for its modified branchlets appearing to be leaves (5–8 cm long) and narrow width (no more than 4 mm) and the true leaves are, in fact minute (rarely larger than 1mm) and occur on the tips of the modified branchlets.Flora of Victoria (1999) It is a relatively fast growing tree (up to 800mm. a year) making it very suitable for planting along roadsides. The showy red female flowers appear in spring. It is usually d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Casuarinaceae
The Casuarinaceae are a family of dicotyledonous flowering plants placed in the order Fagales, consisting of four genera and 91 species of trees and shrubs native to eastern Africa, Australia, Southeast Asia, Malesia, Papuasia, and the Pacific Islands. At one time, all species were placed in the genus ''Casuarina''. Lawrence Alexander Sidney Johnson separated out many of those species and renamed them into the new genera of ''Gymnostoma'' in 1980 and 1982, ''Allocasuarina'' in 1982, and ''Ceuthostoma'' in 1988, with some additional formal descriptions of new species in each other genus. At the time, it was somewhat controversial. The monophyly of these genera was later supported in a 2003 genetics study of the family. In the Wettstein system, this family was the only one placed in the order Verticillatae. Likewise, in the Engler, Cronquist, and Kubitzki systems, the Casuarinaceae were the only family placed in the order Casuarinales. Members of this family are characterized ...

Nerium Oleander
''Nerium oleander'' ( ), most commonly known as oleander or nerium, is a shrub or small tree cultivated worldwide in temperate and subtropical areas as an ornamental and landscaping plant. It is the only species currently classified in the genus ''Nerium'', belonging to subfamily Apocynoideae of the dogbane family Apocynaceae. It is so widely cultivated that no precise region of origin has been identified, though it is usually associated with the Mediterranean Basin. Nerium grows to tall. It is most commonly grown in its natural shrub form, but can be trained into a small tree with a single trunk. It is tolerant to both drought and inundation, but not to prolonged frost. White, pink or red five-lobed flowers grow in clusters year-round, peaking during the summer. The fruit is a long narrow pair of follicles, which splits open at maturity to release numerous downy seeds. Nerium contains several toxic compounds, and it has historically been considered a poisonous plant. Howeve ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Apocynaceae
Apocynaceae (from ''Apocynum'', Greek for "dog-away") is a family of flowering plants that includes trees, shrubs, herbs, stem succulents, and vines, commonly known as the dogbane family, because some taxa were used as dog poison Members of the family are native to the European, Asian, African, Australian, and American tropics or subtropics, with some temperate members. The former family Asclepiadaceae (now known as Asclepiadoideae) is considered a subfamily of Apocynaceae and contains 348 genera. A list of Apocynaceae genera may be found here. Many species are tall trees found in tropical forests, but some grow in tropical dry (xeric) environments. Also perennial herbs from temperate zones occur. Many of these plants have milky latex, and many species are poisonous if ingested, the family being rich in genera containing alkaloids and cardiac glycosides, those containing the latter often finding use as arrow poisons. Some genera of Apocynaceae, such as '' Adenium'', bleed clea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Schinus Areira
''Schinus molle'' (Peruvian pepper, also known as American pepper, Peruvian peppertree, escobilla, false pepper, rosé pepper, molle del Peru, pepper tree, (Archived bWebCite peppercorn tree, California pepper tree, pirul (in Mexican Spanish site), Peruvian mastic, Anacahuita o Aguaribay and Pepperina) is an evergreen tree that grows to 15 meters (50 feet). It is native to an area from the Peruvian Andes to southern Brazil. The bright pink fruits of ''Schinus molle'' are often sold as "pink peppercorns" although ''S. molle'' is unrelated to true pepper (''Piper nigrum''). The word ''molle'' in ''Schinus molle'' comes from ''mulli'', the Quechua word for the tree. The tree is host to the pepper-tree moth, '' Bombycomorpha bifascia''.
