Robinia
''Robinia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae, tribe Robinieae, native to North America. Commonly known as locusts, they are deciduous trees and shrubs growing tall. The leaves are pinnate with 7–21 oval leaflets. The flowers are white or pink, in usually pendulous racemes. Many species have thorny shoots, and several have sticky hairs on the shoots. The genus is named after the royal French gardeners Jean Robin and his son Vespasien Robin, who introduced the plant to Europe in 1601. The number of species is disputed between different authorities, with as few as four recognised by some authors, while others recognise up to 10 species. Several natural hybrids are also known. Some species of ''Robinia'' are used as food by caterpillars of Lepidoptera, including such moths as the brown-tail (''Euproctis chrysorrhoea''), the buff-tip (''Phalera bucephala''), the engrailed (''Ectropis crepuscularia''), the giant leopard moth ('' Hypercompe scribonia''), the ...

Robinia Pseudoacacia
''Robinia pseudoacacia'', commonly known in its native territory as black locust, is a medium-sized hardwood deciduous tree, belonging to the tribe Robinieae of the legume family Fabaceae. It is endemic to a few small areas of the United States, but it has been widely planted and naturalized elsewhere in temperate North America, Europe, Southern Africa and Asia and is considered an invasive species in some areas. Another common name is false acacia, a literal translation of the specific name (''pseudo'' reek ''ψευδο-''meaning fake or false and ''acacia'' referring to the genus of plants with the same name). Description Black locust reaches a typical height of with a diameter of . It is a very upright tree with a straight trunk and narrow crown that grows scraggly with age. The dark blue-green compound leaves with a contrasting lighter underside give this tree a beautiful appearance in the wind and contribute to its grace. Black locust is a shade-intolerant species and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Robinia Hispida
''Robinia hispida'', known as the bristly locust, rose-acacia, or moss locust, is a shrub in the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family Fabaceae.

Robinia Neomexicana
''Robinia neomexicana'', the New Mexican, New Mexico, Southwest, desert, pink, or rose locust, is a shrub or small tree in the subfamily Faboideae of the family Fabaceae. Distribution ''Robinia neomexicana'' is native to the Southwestern United States (southeastern California and southwestern Utah, Virgin River region, east through Arizona and New Mexico, the Rio Grande valley, to far west Texas) and adjoining northern Mexico; from central New Mexico the range extends north into Colorado, mostly the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains. In Arizona, it ranges across the Arizona transition zone, the Mogollon Rim and White Mountains, and into western and southwestern New Mexico. In California, it is uncommon below 1500 m (5000 ft) in canyons in the Mojave Desert and its sky island pinyon-juniper habitats (''Pinus monophylla'' and ''Juniperus californica'').

It has also been recorded in 2015 from China and in 2017 from Korea, and in 2022 from Central Italy. The wingspan is about 5 mm. Adults are brilliantly shiny with an orange forewing marked with transverse silvery-white bands that are narrowly edged with black along their basal margins.

Jean Robin (botanist)
Jean Robin (1550, in Paris – 25 April 1629, in Paris), was a French herbalist. Biography Robin was the gardener of the French kings Henry III, Henry IV and Louis XIII. He was described as "simplicist" (i.e., a person growing ''simples'', medieval medicinal herbs) or "arborist" (a person growing trees, ''arbres'' in French). In 1601, he sowed the first ''Robinia'' introduced in Europe, either in his garden, which is now the place Dauphine, or in the garden of the School of Medicine, which included the current square René-Viviani (where the ''Robinia'' still stands). According to other sources, Robin sowed a ''Robinia'' in each of these two gardens. In 1636, his son Vespasien Robin (1579-1662) planted another specimen of ''Robinia'' in the King's Garden, now the Jardin des plantes de Paris, where it still stands. Robin published several books, the first one in 1601 was a catalog of the 1,300 native and exotic species he cultivated (''Catalogus stirpium'' ...). Robin was ...

Macrosaccus Robiniella
''Macrosaccus robiniella'' is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. Distribution It is native to and widely distributed in North America, but is an introduced species in Europe, where it was first reported near Basel, Switzerland, in 1983. Later, it was also reported in France, Germany, northern Italy (1988), Austria (1989), and Slovakia (1992). It spread gradually through Austria, reaching Hungary in the mid 1990s. Adult description The wingspan is 5.5 to 6.5 mm. There are two to three generations per year. Life history The larvae feed on ''Robinia pseudoacacia'', ''Robinia viscosa'' and ''Robinia hispida''. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine begins as an elongate serpentine track which enlarges to an elongate-oval, whitish blotch located on one side of the midrib and usually on the underside of the leaflet. Eventually the mine becomes slightly tentiform due to the silk laid down by the later instar larvae. There are five larval instars. The earliest insta ...

Parectopa Robiniella
The locust digitate leafminer (''Parectopa robiniella'') is a moth of the family Gracillariidae.

List Of Poisonous Plants
Plants that produce toxins are referred to as poisonous plants. Plants that cause irritation on contact are also described as "poisonous". The toxins in poisonous plants affect herbivores, and deter them from consuming the plants. Plants cannot move to escape their predators, so they must have other means of protecting themselves from herbivorous animals. Some plants have physical defenses such as thorns, spines and prickles, but by far the most common type of protection is chemical. Over millennia, through the process of natural selection, plants have evolved the means to produce a vast and complicated array of chemical compounds to deter herbivores. Tannin, for example, is a defensive compound that emerged relatively early in the evolutionary history of plants, while more complex molecules such as polyacetylenes are found in younger groups of plants such as the Asterales. Many of the known plant defense compounds primarily defend against consumption by insects, though other a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Phalera Bucephala
The buff-tip (''Phalera bucephala'') is a moth of the family Notodontidae. It is found throughout Europe and in Asia to eastern Siberia. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae''. Description This is a fairly large, heavy-bodied species with a wingspan of 55–68 mm. The forewings are grey with a large prominent buff patch at the apex. As the thoracic hair is also buff, the moth resembles a broken twig when at rest. The hindwings are creamy white. This moth flies at night in June and July and sometimes comes to light, although it is not generally strongly attracted. The young larvae are gregarious, becoming solitary later. The older larva is very striking, black with white and yellow lines. It feeds on many trees and shrubs (see list below). The species overwinters as a pupa. # ''The flight season refers to the British Isles. This may vary in other parts of the range.'' Natural History Historically, the buff-tip mo ...
