Rhus Michauxii
''Rhus michauxii'' is a rare species of flowering plant in the cashew family known by the common names false poison sumac and Michaux's sumac. It is endemic to the southeastern United States, where it can be found in the states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. It is threatened by the loss and degradation of its habitat and by barriers to reproduction. It is a federally listed endangered species of the United States. This plant is a small shrub growing tall. It is very hairy in texture. The small size and hairiness distinguish the plant from other sumacs. The long leaves are each made up of several pairs of toothed leaflets. The plant is dioecious with male and female reproductive parts occurring on separate plants. The plant produces an erect inflorescence of white or greenish yellow flowers in June that develop into red drupes in female plants in late summer to early fall. This plant was first described as ''Rhus pumila'' by André Michaux in 1803, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Loam
Loam (in geology and soil science) is soil composed mostly of sand (particle size > ), silt (particle size > ), and a smaller amount of clay (particle size < ). By weight, its mineral composition is about 40–40–20% concentration of sand–silt–clay, respectively. These proportions can vary to a degree, however, and result in different types of loam soils: sandy loam, silty loam, clay loam, sandy clay loam, silty clay loam, and loam. In the , textural classification triangle, the only soil that is not predominantly sand, silt, or clay is called "loam". Loam soils generally contain more nutrients, moisture, and |

It is a C4 carbon fixation, warm-season species, meaning it employs the C4 photosynthetic pathway. Description Little bluestem grows to become an upright, roundish mound of soft, bluish-green or grayish-green blades in May and June that is about two to three feet high. In July, it initiates flowering stalks, which reach four ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rhus Copallinum
