Nied.
Franz Josef Niedenzu (29 November 1857 – 30 September 1937) was a German botanist born in Köppernig. He is remembered for his work with the botanical family Malpighiaceae. For most of his career he was a professor and subsequently rector at the ''Lyceum Hosianum'' in Braunsberg, East Prussia (presently Braniewo, Poland). At Braunsberg, he established a botanical garden. He was author of the chapter on Malpighiaceae in Adolf Engler's "''Das Pflanzenreich''", and contributed descriptions of nine plant families in Engler and Prantl's "''Die Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien''". He identified numerous new species, as well as six genera; ''Alcoceratothrix'' (now ''Byrsonima''), ''Callyntranthele'' (now ''Blepharandra''), ''Cordobia'', ''Diaspis'' (now ''Caucanthus''), ''Malpighiodes'', and ''Sprucina'' (now ''Jubelina''). In 2006, botanist W.R.Anderson published ''Niedenzuella'', a genus of flowering plants from South America, belonging to the family Malpighiaceae Malpighiaceae ...

Byrsonima
''Byrsonima'' is one of about 75 genera in the Malpighiaceae, a family of flowering plants in the order Malpighiales. In particular in American English, they are known as locustberries (which also may refer specifically to '' Byrsonima coccolobifolia'' or '' Byrsonima lucida''). Another widely seen common name is serrets or serrettes. ''Byrsonima'' comprises over 135 species of trees, shrubs, and subshrubs found in the New World tropics and subtropics from southern Mexico, southeastern Florida, and the Caribbean to southeastern Brazil. The plants have entire leaves, yellow flowers, and fleshy, edible fruits called nance; '' B. crassifolia'' in particular is known by that name, as it is an underutilized crop of some commercial importance in Latin America. They are primarily pollinated by various oligolectic native bees (e.g., ''Centris'', '' Epicharis'', and '' Tetrapedia'') that are specialized to collect floral oils, as the flowers do not offer the typical floral rewards ...

People From The Province Of Silesia
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Flowering Plant
Flowering plants are plants that bear flowers and fruits, and form the clade Angiospermae (), commonly called angiosperms. The term "angiosperm" is derived from the Greek words ('container, vessel') and ('seed'), and refers to those plants that produce their seeds enclosed within a fruit. They are by far the most diverse group of land plants with 64 orders, 416 families, approximately 13,000 known genera and 300,000 known species. Angiosperms were formerly called Magnoliophyta (). Like gymnosperms, angiosperms are seed-producing plants. They are distinguished from gymnosperms by characteristics including flowers, endosperm within their seeds, and the production of fruits that contain the seeds. The ancestors of flowering plants diverged from the common ancestor of all living gymnosperms before the end of the Carboniferous, over 300 million years ago. The closest fossil relatives of flowering plants are uncertain and contentious. The earliest angiosperm fossils ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
