Polyandrococos
''Allagoptera'' is a monoecious genus of flowering plant in the palm family found in South America consisting of 5 accepted species. Compared to other genera within the Cocoseae ''Allagoptera'' is described as particularly specialized.Uhl, Natalie W. and Dransfield, John (1987) ''Genera Palmarum - A classification of palms based on the work of Harold E. Moore''. Lawrence, Kansas: Allen Press. / The genus name is a Greek combination of "change" and "feather", describing the full leaf; it was formerly named ''Diplothemium''. Description ''Allagoptera'' produces very short or acaulescent trunks and in cases where the trunk grows erect it often makes a downward turn leaving the crown below the trunk-base. The trunks in ''Allagoptera'' are among the few in the palm family which tend to bifurcate, producing multiple heads per unit. The pinnate leaves are gently arching to 2 m and are carried on long, slender petioles which are adaxially channeled. The single-fold leaflets are regul ...

Allagoptera Caudescens

Moore''. Lawrence, Kansas: Allen Press. / The older name ''Polyandrococos'' combines the Greek words for "many" and "anther" with the name of another palm genus '' Cocos'', and the epithet is Latin for "bearlike", referring to the hairy tomentum.Riffle, Robert L. and Craft, Paul (2003) ''An Encyclopedia of Cultivated Palms''. Portland: Timber Press. / It was formerly classified as ''Polyandrococos caudescens'', the only species in the genus ''Polyandrococos''. Description The trunks are rough and solitary natured, and reach over 10 m at 20 cm wide, usually covered in old leaf bases.

Cocoseae
Cocoseae is a tribe of cocosoid palms of the family Arecaceae. Description The fruit of the Cocoseae is a modified drupe, with a sclerenchymatous epicarp and a highly developed mesocarp, formed mainly by parenchyma . The endocarp is generally sclerenchymatous and protects the seeds from predation and drying. The most obvious synapomorphy In phylogenetics, an apomorphy (or derived trait) is a novel character or character state that has evolved from its ancestral form (or plesiomorphy). A synapomorphy is an apomorphy shared by two or more taxa and is therefore hypothesized to have ... of the species of this tribe is the presence, in the endocarp, of three or more "eyes" or pores of germination. Distribution The Cocoseae are distributed mainly in the Neotropical regions, with two genera endemic to Africa (''Jubaeopsis'' and ''Elaeis'') and Madagascar ( ''Beccariophoenix'' and ''Voanioala'' ), respectively. Systematics The Cocoseae in the sense of Dransfield et al. (2008) are ide ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees Von Esenbeck
Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees von Esenbeck (14 February 1776 – 16 March 1858) was a prolific German botanist, physician, zoologist, and natural philosopher. He was a contemporary of Goethe and was born within the lifetime of Linnaeus. He described approximately 7,000 plant species (almost as many as Linnaeus himself). His last official act as president of the German Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina was to admit Charles Darwin as a member. He was the author of numerous monographs on botany and zoology. His best-known works deal with fungi. Biography Nees von Esenbeck was born in Schloss Reichenberg near Reichelsheim (Odenwald). He showed an early interest in science and, after receiving his primary education in Darmstadt, he went on to the University of Jena, obtaining his degree in biology (natural history) and medicine in 1800. He practiced as a physician for Francis I (Erbach-Erbach), but he had developed a great interest in botany during his university studies, ...
