Adina (plant)
''Adina'' is a genus of 11 species of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. They are shrubs or small trees, native to East Asia and Southeast Asia. Description ''Adina'' is a genus of shrubs and small trees. The terminal vegetative buds are inconspicuous and loosely surrounded by the stipules. The stipules are bifid for at least 2/3 of their length. The corolla lobes are nearly valvate in bud, being subimbricate at the apex. The anthers are basifixed and introrse. The ovary has two locules, with up to four ovules per locule. Taxonomy ''Adina'' was named by Richard Salisbury in 1807 in his book, ''The Paradisus Londinensis''. The genus name is derived from the Ancient Greek word , meaning "clustered, crowded". It refers to the tightly clustered heads of flowers. The biological type for ''Adina'' consists of the specimens that Salisbury called ''Adina globiflora''.''Adina'' In: Index Nominum Genericorum. In: Regnum Vegetabile.

Nauclea
''Nauclea'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. The species are evergreen trees or shrubs that are native to the paleotropics. The terminal vegetative buds are usually strongly flattened. The generic name is derived from the Ancient Greek words ''naus'', meaning "ship" and ''kleio'', meaning "to close". It refers to the resemblance of the cells of the capsule to a ship's hull. Cultivation and use ''Nauclea diderrichii'' is a large tree from West Africa that is widely cultivated elsewhere. Its wood is resistant to borers and is used around harbors and in other places where wood is in constant contact with water. Taxonomy ''Nauclea'' is a member of the tribe Naucleeae and is sister to a clade consisting of ''Burttdavya'' and ''Sarcocephalus''. The current type species for the genus is ''Nauclea orientalis''.

Nauclea Orientalis
''Nauclea orientalis'' is a species of tree in the family Rubiaceae, native to Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and Australia. It has many common names, including bur tree, canary wood, Leichhardt pine and yellow cheesewood. It grows to a maximum of around in height and has large glossy leaves. It bears spherical clusters of fragrant flowers that develop into golf ball-sized edible but bitter fruits. The yellowish to orange soft wood is also used for timber and in woodcarving and folk medicine. Much recently in Australia, it has been called the coronavirus tree because its flowerhead resembles the virus. Taxonomy and nomenclature ''Nauclea orientalis '' is known by the common names Leichhardt tree, cheesewood, yellow cheesewood, and canary cheesewood. It is also sometimes known as the Leichhardt pine due to the overall shape of the tree, though it is not a conifer. "Leichhardt pine", however, is more commonly used for the kadam or burrflower tree (''Neolamarckia cadamba''), a closel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rubiaceae
The Rubiaceae are a family of flowering plants, commonly known as the coffee, madder, or bedstraw family. It consists of terrestrial trees, shrubs, lianas, or herbs that are recognizable by simple, opposite leaves with interpetiolar stipules and sympetalous actinomorphic flowers. The family contains about 13,500 species in about 620 genera, which makes it the fourth-largest angiosperm family. Rubiaceae has a cosmopolitan distribution; however, the largest species diversity is concentrated in the tropics and subtropics. Economically important genera include ''Coffea'', the source of coffee, '' Cinchona'', the source of the antimalarial alkaloid quinine, ornamental cultivars (''e.g.'', '' Gardenia'', ''Ixora'', ''Pentas''), and historically some dye plants (''e.g.'', ''Rubia''). Description The Rubiaceae are morphologically easily recognizable as a coherent group by a combination of characters: opposite or whorled leaves that are simple and entire, interpetiolar stipules, tubu ...
