Lamiaceae
The Lamiaceae ( ) or Labiatae are a family of flowering plants commonly known as the mint, deadnettle or sage family. Many of the plants are aromatic in all parts and include widely used culinary herbs like basil, mint, rosemary, sage, savory, marjoram, oregano, hyssop, thyme, lavender, and perilla, as well as other medicinal herbs such as catnip, salvia, bee balm, wild dagga, and oriental motherwort. Some species are shrubs, trees (such as teak), or, rarely, vines. Many members of the family are widely cultivated, not only for their aromatic qualities, but also their ease of cultivation, since they are readily propagated by stem cuttings. Besides those grown for their edible leaves, some are grown for decorative foliage. Others are grown for seed, such as ''Salvia hispanica'' (chia), or for their edible tubers, such as ''Plectranthus edulis'', ''Plectranthus esculentus'', '' Plectranthus rotundifolius'', and '' Stachys affinis'' (Chinese artichoke). Many are also grown orn ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lachnostachys Albicans
''Lachnostachys'' (common name Lambs tails) is a genus of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae, first described in 1842 by William Jackson Hooker. The type species is ''Lachnostachys ferruginea''. The genus name, ''Lachnostachys'', comes from two Greek words/roots, ''lachnề'' ("wool") and ''-stachys'' ("relating to a spike"),Backer, C.A. (1936 ''Verklarend woordenboek der wetenschappelijke namen van de in Nederland en Nederlandsch-Indië in het wild groeiende en in tuinen en parken gekweekte varens en hoogere planten'' pp 951,956 (Edition Nicoline van der Sijs). (Explanatory dictionary of the scientific names of .. plants grown in the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies...) and thus describes the genus as having spiked woolly inflorescences. The entire genus is endemic to Western Australia A 2009 study of Chloantheae indicates that ''Lachnostachys'' is closely related to the genera, '' Newcastelia'' and '' Physopsis'', with none of the three being monophyletic ...

Quoya (plant)
''Quoya'' is a genus of flowering plants in family Lamiaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. Plants in this genus are shrubs with five petals joined to form a tube-shaped flower with four stamens of unequal lengths.

Description Plants in the genus ''Pityrodia'' are evergreen shrubs with erect, usually cylindrical branches. The leaves are simple, net-veined and their bases partly wrap around the stem (decurrent). The flowers may occur singly or in groups and exhibit left-right symmetry. There are 5 sepals which are joined at their bases and 5 petals joined to form a tube. The tube may have 5, unequally sized lobes at the tip or two "lips" - the upper lip having two lobes and the lower one three. There are four stamens with one pair longer than the other. The fruit is a drupe containing up to four seeds. Taxonomy and naming The genus was first described by Robert ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hemiphora
''Hemiphora'' is a genus of five species of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. Plants in this genus are woolly shrubs with warty, hairy leaves and with five petals joined to form a tube-shaped flower with four stamens.

Christian Luerssen
Christian Luerssen (6 May 1843, Bremen – 28 June 1916) was a German botanist. He was an authority in the field of pteridology. In 1872, at Leipzig, he graduated as a university teacher of botany, and was later appointed professor of botany at the Forest Academy at Neustadt-Eberswalde (1884). From 1888, he served as a professor at the University of Königsberg. After his death, a portion of his botanical collection (including European pteridophytes) was donated by Otto Bjurling to the Swedish Museum of Natural History. Luerssen was the taxonomic authority of the family Sciadopityaceae (1877). He has a number of plant species named after him, such as ''Koeleria luerssenii'' (grass species) and ''Cassia luerssenii'' (family Fabaceae). Written works * ''Filices Graeffeanae.
