Pseudobombax Tomentosum
''Pseudobombax tomentosum'' is a species of deciduous tree native to South America. Description ''Pseudobombax tomentosum'' is found along the edges of forests in a clumped pattern. It branches horizontally and usually the ends of these branches are in contact with the canopy of the forest. Flowering occurs after leaves fall, in the dry season. The flowers are located at the end of the branches, erect or slightly inclined. The flowers range from in diameter, and are predominantly white. The receptacle, perianth, and stamens form a chamber where nectar gathers. The pistil of the flower is erect and the stigma is localized above the anthers. The stamens and pistils are strong yet flexible. Flowers are only functional for a single night. Habitat and ecology ''Pseudobombax tomentosum'' is present on the outskirts of forests or roads in Brazil and Paraguay in South America. The large and rigid structure of the tree's flowers, combined with the flower's placement on the ends ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pseudobombax Septenatum
''Pseudobombax septenatum'' is of the family Malvaceae, commonly known as Algodón de río, beldaco, ceibo barrigón, majagua colorada or barrigon. It is a deciduous tree up to in height which grows in semideciduous rainforest with a definite dry season. It is found from Nicaragua to Brazil. Its flowers are cream-colored and like those of Ceiba spp., in forming a roundish cluster of stamens on a stalk surrounding the pistel, in this instance up to one thousand stamens in number. The leaves generally have seven smooth-edged narrowly oblong leaflets. It was originally named Pachira barrigon, and later Bombax barrigon. It has the bright green lines running through the bark that is also seen in Ceiba spp. and Chorissa spp. It was first described in 1760 by the Dutch scientist Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin as ''Bombax septenatum''. The current name is from Armando Dugand Armando Dugand (July 23, 1906 – 1971) was a Colombian botanist, geobotanist, and ornithologist. Dugand's fathe ...

Pseudobombax Millei
''Pseudobombax millei'', the beldaco, is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae. It is found only in Ecuador. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby .... It is a dry-deciduous, tall tree with a spreading of open crown and long-stemmed, broadly oval, hand-shaped, deep green leaves that form a rosette at the branch ends. The upright, white flowers with 5 recurved petals and countless, highly protruding stamens appear at the end of the shoots, followed by cylindrical seed capsules. Flowers are creamy in color and smell great. Pseudobombax milleii belongs to the protected species! References millei Data deficient ...

Bombacoideae
Bombacoideae is a subfamily of the mallow family, Malvaceae. It contains herbaceous and woody plants. Their leaves are alternate, commonly palmately lobed, with small and caducous stipules. The flowers are hermaphroditic and actinomorphic; the calyx has 5 sepals united at the base, which are not accompanied by an epicalyx (involucel). The corolla has 5 free petals and an androecium of numerous stamens, typically with free filaments which are not fused in a staminal tube (column). The pollen is smooth and the ovary superior and pluricarpellate. The fruits are schizocarpous or capsular. Genera Classification Some taxa in this subfamily were previously grouped under the now-obsolete family Bombacaceae, as recent phylogenetic research has shown that Bombacaceae as traditionally circumscribed (including tribe Durioneae) is not a monophyletic group. ''Camptostemon'', ''Lagunaria'', '' Pentaplaris'' and '' Uladendron'' might more appropriately be placed in Malvoideae, as might the tri ...

Malvaceae Genera
Malvaceae, or the mallows, is a family of flowering plants estimated to contain 244 genera with 4225 known species. Well-known members of economic importance include okra, cotton, cacao and durian. There are also some genera containing familiar ornamentals, such as ''Alcea'' (hollyhock), ''Malva'' (mallow), and ''Tilia'' (lime or linden tree). The largest genera in terms of number of species include ''Hibiscus'' (300 species), ''Sterculia'' (250 species), ''Dombeya'' (250 species), '' Pavonia'' (200 species) and '' Sida'' (200 species). Taxonomy and nomenclature The circumscription of the Malvaceae is controversial. The traditional Malvaceae '' sensu stricto'' comprise a very homogeneous and cladistically monophyletic group. Another major circumscription, Malvaceae ''sensu lato'', has been more recently defined on the basis that genetics studies have shown the commonly recognised families Bombacaceae, Tiliaceae, and Sterculiaceae, which have always been considered closely allie ...
