The larger genera include ''Cuphea'' (275 spp.), ''Lagerstroemia'' (56), ''Nesaea'' (50), ''Rotala'' (45), and ''Lythrum'' (35). It also includes the pomegranate (''Punica granatum'', formerly in Punicaceae) and the water caltrop (''Trapa natans'', formerly in Trapaceae). Lythraceae has a worldwide distribution, with most species in the tropics, but ranging into temperate climate regions as well. The family is named after the type genus, ''Lythrum'', the loosestrifes (e.g. ''Lythrum salicaria'' purple loosestrife) and also includes henna (''Lawsonia inermis''). It now includes the pomegranate, formerly classed in a separate family Punicaceae. The family also includes the widely cultivated crape myrtle trees.

Aquarium
An aquarium (plural: ''aquariums'' or ''aquaria'') is a vivarium of any size having at least one transparent side in which aquatic plants or animals are kept and displayed. Fishkeepers use aquaria to keep fish, invertebrates, amphibians, aquatic reptiles, such as turtles, and aquatic plants. The term ''aquarium'', coined by English naturalist Philip Henry Gosse, combines the Latin root , meaning 'water', with the suffix , meaning 'a place for relating to'. The aquarium principle was fully developed in 1850 by the chemist Robert Warington, who explained that plants added to water in a container would give off enough oxygen to support animals, so long as the numbers of animals did not grow too large. The aquarium craze was launched in early Victorian England by Gosse, who created and stocked the first public aquarium at the London Zoo in 1853, and published the first manual, ''The Aquarium: An Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Sea'' in 1854.Katherine C.

Rotala Malabarica
''Rotala malabarica'', the Malabar rotala, is a short-lived annual plant endemic to southern India, where it is known from only one location. It is considered critically endangered and may be extinct. Distribution and habitat This species appears to occur only in an extremely restricted area (~10 km2) in the Kannur District in Kerala, India, from where it was described in 1990. It inhabits seasonal pools in depressions containing rich deposits of humus. The substrate is laterite Laterite is both a soil and a rock type rich in iron and aluminium and is commonly considered to have formed in hot and wet tropical areas. Nearly all laterites are of rusty-red coloration, because of high iron oxide content. They develop by ... rocks, and the Malabar rotala is likely to be threatened by lateritic mining, in addition to herbicide use in the adjoining cashew plantations. It has not been found in its type locality since its description. References malabarica Plants des ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
