Rhagodia Baccata
''Chenopodium baccatum'' (Syn. ''Rhagodia baccata''), commonly known as berry saltbush, is a species of shrub endemic to Western Australia. Description It is a spreading shrub up to two metres high, with elliptical leaves, and flowers that occur in a panicle. It bears red berries. Taxonomy It was first published in 1805 by Jacques Labillardière as ''Chenopodium baccatum''. In 1810, Robert Brown transferred it into ''Rhagodia'' as ''Rhagodia billardierei'', but this name was illegal, as there were no grounds for the specific epithet to be to overturned. In 1849, Alfred Moquin-Tandon transferred the species into ''Rhagodia'' as ''R. baccata'', and this name remained current until 2012. After phylogenetic research, Fuentes-Bazan et al. (2012) included ''Rhagodia'' again in genus ''Chenopodium''. Two subspecies are currently recognised: the autonym ''Chenopodium baccatum'' subsp. ''baccatum'', and ''Chenopodium baccatum'' subsp. ''dioicum'' (Nees) S.Fuentes & Borsch, (syn. '' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Southwest Australia
Southwest Australia is a biogeographic region in Western Australia. It includes the Mediterranean-climate area of southwestern Australia, which is home to a diverse and distinctive flora and fauna. The region is also known as the Southwest Australia Global Diversity Hotspot, as well as Kwongan.

The region covers 356,717 km2, consisting of a broad coastal plain 20-120 kilometres wide, transitioning to gently undulating uplands made up of weathered granite, gneiss and laterite. Bluff Knoll in the Stirling Range is the highest peak in the region, at 1,099 metres (3,606 ft) elevation. Desert and xeric shrublands lie to the north and east across the centre of Australia, separating Southwest Australia from the other Mediterranean and humid-climate regions of the continent.

Rhagodia Candolleana
''Chenopodium candolleanum'' (Syn. ''Rhagodia candolleana''), commonly known as seaberry saltbush, is a shrub in the subfamily Chenopodioideae of the family Amaranthaceae (sensu lato), native to Australia. Description This species forms a dense shrub up to 2 metres in height. It shiny green leaves are thick and almost succulent, with a paler underside. These are 1 to 3 cm long and 4-12mm wide with the widest part of the leaf towards the base.

North West Cape
North West Cape is a peninsula in the north-west of Western Australia. Cape Range runs down the spine of the peninsula and Ningaloo Reef runs along the western edge. It is in the Gascoyne region and includes the town of Exmouth. History In 1618, Dutch East India Company captain Lenaert Jacobszoon and supercargo Willem Janszoon of the ''Mauritius'' landed in the area. Phillip Parker King later visited in 1818 and named it ''North West Cape'' as well as naming Exmouth Gulf after senior naval officer Edward Pellew, 1st Viscount Exmouth. Later, pearl luggers visited the area from Broome. During World War II a military operation codenamed ''Operation Potshot'' was done in the area. The first oil flow in Australia was discovered there in 1953 at Rough Range, by exploration company WAPET.

Cape Arid
Cape Arid National Park is a national park located in Western Australia, southeast of Perth. The park is situated east of Esperance and lies on the shore of the south coast from the eastern end of the Recherche Archipelago. The bay at its eastern side is Israelite Bay, a locality often mentioned in Bureau of Meteorology weather reports as a geographical marker. The western end is known as Duke of Orleans Bay. Its coastline is defined by Cape Arid, a bay called Sandy Bight and, further east, Cape Pasley. History The first European to discover the area was the French Admiral Bruni D'Entrecasteaux in 1792 and he named it ''Cap Aride''; Matthew Flinders anglicized the name in 1802 and the park took its name from this feature. Pioneer graziers arrived in the area in the 1870s and the ruins of homesteads, dams and buildings as well as gravesites can be found near Pine Hill and Thomas Fishery. Bay whaling was conducted by Thomas Sherratt at Barrier Anchorage in the 1870s. John Tho ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cape Leeuwin
Cape Leeuwin is the most south-westerly (but not most southerly) mainland point of the Australian continent, in the state of Western Australia. Description A few small islands and rocks, the St Alouarn Islands, extend further in Flinders Bay to the east of the cape. The nearest settlement, north of the cape, is Augusta. South-east of Cape Leeuwin, the coast of Western Australia extends much further south. Cape Leeuwin is not the southernmost point of Western Australia, with that distinction belonging to West Cape Howe, which is to the southeast, near Albany. In Australia, the cape is considered where the Indian Ocean meets the Southern Ocean, but most other nations and bodies consider that the Southern Ocean exists only south of 60°S. Located on headland of the cape is the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse and the buildings that were used by the lighthouse-keepers. Cape Leeuwin is considered one of the three "great capes" of the world. Use of name Cape Leeuwin is often group ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Autonym (botany)
In botanical nomenclature, autonyms are automatically created names, as regulated by the ''International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants'' that are created for certain subdivisions of genera and species, those that include the type of the genus or species. An autonym might not be mentioned in the publication that creates it as a side-effect. Autonyms "repeat unaltered" the genus name or species epithet of the taxon being subdivided, and no other name for that same subdivision is validly published (article 22.2). For example, ''Rubus'' subgenus ''Eubatus'' is not validly published, and the subgenus is known as ''Rubus'' subgen. ''Rubus''. Autonyms are cited without an author. The publication date of the autonym is taken to be the same as that of the subdivision(s) that automatically established the autonym, with some special provisions (the autonym is considered to have priority over the other names of the same rank established at the same time (article 11.6)).

Chenopodium
''Chenopodium'' is a genus of numerous species of perennial or annual herbaceous flowering plants known as the goosefoots, which occur almost anywhere in the world. It is placed in the family Amaranthaceae in the APG II system; older classification systems, notably the widely used Cronquist system, separate it and its relatives as Chenopodiaceae, but this leaves the rest of the Amaranthaceae polyphyletic. However, among the Amaranthaceae, the genus ''Chenopodium'' is the namesake member of the subfamily Chenopodioideae. Description The species of ''Chenopodium'' (s.str., description according to Fuentes et al. 2012) are annual or perennial herbs, shrubs or small trees. They generally rely on alkaline soil. They are nonaromatic, but sometimes fetid. The young stems and leaves are often densely covered by vesicular globose hairs, thus looking farinose. Characteristically, these trichomes persist, collapsing later and becoming cup-shaped. The branched stems grow erect, ascen ...
