Piliostigma Malabaricum
''Piliostigma malabaricum'' is a small (sometimes ornamental) tree species in the family Fabaceae. It was previously placed in the genus ''Bauhinia'', but names changed with reorganisation of the subfamily Cercidoideae and the tribe Bauhinieae. This Asian species has been called the "Purple Orchid Tree" (although not to be confused with ''Bauhinia purpurea'' or ''Bauhinia variegata'') and names in Vietnamese are: ''chân trâu'' and ''móng bò tai voi''. The Catalogue of Life The Catalogue of Life is an online database that provides an index of known species of animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms. It was created in 2001 as a partnership between the global Species 2000 and the American Integrated Taxonomic Info ... lists the subspecies ''P. malabaricum acidum''.

Piliostigma Thonningii
''Piliostigma thonningii'' is a species of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Cercidoideae. Common names of this tree include camel's foot tree, monkey bread, monkey biscuit tree, Rhodesian bauhinia and wild bauhinia. ''Piliostigma thonningii'' grows quickly relative to some other tree species it competes with, and relies on rapid re-growth to survive bush fires. It grows up to tall, with leaves that are similar to a ''bauhinia'', but it differs from ''bauhinia'' by having separate male and female flowers on separate trees. The flower petals are white and the thick, Calyx (botany), calyces (or seed pods) are covered in rust coloured hairs. The pods do not spilt (like other tree pods) but fall from the branches, then rot whilst on the ground, releasing the seeds. The inner bark of the tree has been used to make rope. It grows in wooded grassland or woodland. References Other sources * External links Species reference at AgroFor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cercidoideae
Cercidoideae is a subfamily in the pea family, Fabaceae. Well-known members include ''Cercis'' (redbuds), including species widely cultivated as ornamental trees in the United States and Europe, ''Bauhinia'', widely cultivated as an ornamental tree in tropical Asia, and ''Tylosema'' , a semi-woody genus of Africa. The subfamily occupies a basal position within the Fabaceae and is supported as monophyly, monophyletic in many molecular phylogenetics, molecular phylogenies. At the 6th International Legume Conference, the Legume Phylogeny Working Group proposed elevating the tribe Cercidae to the level of subfamily within the Leguminosae (Fabaceae). The consensus agreed to the change, which was fully implemented in 2017. It has the following clade-based definition: The most inclusive crown clade containing ''Cercis canadensis'' L. and ''Bauhinia divaricata'' L. but not ''Poeppigia procera'' C.Presl, ''Duparquetia orchidacea'' Baill., or ''Bobgunnia fistuloides'' (Harms) J.H.Kirkbr. & W ...

The Plant List
The Plant List was a list of botanical names of species of plants created by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the Missouri Botanical Garden and launched in 2010. It was intended to be a comprehensive record of all known names of plant species over time, and was produced in response to Target 1 of the 2002-2010 Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSP C), to produce "An online flora of all known plants.” It has not been updated since 2013, and has been superseded by World Flora Online. World Flora Online In October 2012, the follow-up project World Flora Online was launched with the aim to publish an online flora of all known plants by 2020. This is a project of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, with the aim of halting the loss of plant species worldwide by 2020. It is developed by a collaborative group of institutions around the world response to the 2011-2020 GSPC's updated Target 1. This aims to achieve an online Flora of all known plants by 2020. It ...
