Systematic Botany
Plant taxonomy is the science that finds, identifies, describes, classifies, and names plants. It is one of the main branches of taxonomy (the science that finds, describes, classifies, and names living things). Plant taxonomy is closely allied to plant systematics, and there is no sharp boundary between the two. In practice, "plant systematics" involves relationships between plants and their evolution, especially at the higher levels, whereas "plant taxonomy" deals with the actual handling of plant specimens. The precise relationship between taxonomy and systematics, however, has changed along with the goals and methods employed. Plant taxonomy is well known for being turbulent, and traditionally not having any close agreement on circumscription and placement of taxa. See the list of systems of plant taxonomy. Background Classification systems serve the purpose of grouping organisms by characteristics common to each group. Plants are distinguished from animals by various trai ...

Stylobasium Spathulatum
''Stylobasium spathulatum'' ("pebble bush") is a species of xerophytic shrub in the family Surianaceae. It was first described in 1819 by René Louiche DesfontainesDesfontaines, R.L. (1819), Memoires du Museum d'Histoire Naturelle 5: 37, t. 2 and is endemic to the Northern Territory, Queensland, and Western Australia. The specific epithet, ''spathulatum'', is a Latin adjective (''spathulatus'',''-a'',''-um'') meaning "spoon-shaped" and refers to the shape of the leaves. The Walmajarri people call this bush ''Kuparta''.

Guilfoylia Monostylis
''Guilfoylia'' is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Surianaceae. The only species is ''Guilfoylia monostylis''. Its native range is eastern Australia, and found in the states of New South Wales and Queensland. The genus name of ''Guilfoylia'' is in honour of William Guilfoyle (1840–1912), an Australian landscape gardener and botanist. The Latin specific epithet of ''monostylis'' is derived from ''mono'' meaning one and ''stylis'' referring to the style Style is a manner of doing or presenting things and may refer to: * Architectural style, the features that make a building or structure historically identifiable * Design, the process of creating something * Fashion, a prevailing mode of clothing .... It was first described and published in Fragm. ( Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae, Melbourne) Vol.8 on page 34 in 1873.

Suriana Maritima (Bay Ceder)
''Suriana'' is a monotypic genus of flowering plants containing only ''Suriana maritima'', which is commonly known as bay cedar. Distribution It has a pantropical distribution and can be found on coasts in the New and Old World tropics. Description Bay cedar is an evergreen shrub or small tree, usually reaching a height of and sometimes reaching . The leaves are alternate, simple, long and wide. The grey-green, succulent foliage yields an aroma similar to that of cedar when crushed, hence the common name. Its yellow flowers are solitary or in short cymes among the leaves. Flowers have a diameter of when open, with petals long and sepals long. Bay cedar flowers throughout the year. After fertilisation, the flowers form clusters of five dry, hard drupes in diameter. The drupes are buoyant and can maintain the viability of the seeds during long periods in seawater, allowing the seeds to be dispersed by the ocean The ocean (also the sea or the world ocean) is the ...

Gamilaroi Nature Reserve Ooline
The Gamilaraay, also known as Gomeroi, Kamilaroi, Kamillaroi and other variations, are an Aboriginal Australian people whose lands extend from New South Wales to southern Queensland. They form one of the four largest Indigenous nations in Australia. Name The ethnonym Gamilaraay is formed from , meaning "no", and the suffix , bearing the sense of "having". It is a common practice among Australian tribes to have themselves identified according to their respective words for "no". The Kamilaroi Highway, the Sydney Ferries Limited vehicular ferry "Kamilaroi" (1901–1933), the stage name of Australian rapper and singer the Kid Laroi and a cultivar of Durum wheat have all been named after the Kamilaroi people. Language Gamilaraay language is classified as one of the Pama–Nyungan languages. The language is no longer spoken, as the last fluent speakers died out in the 1950s. However, some parts have been reconstructed by late field work, which includes substantial recordings o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Outgroup (cladistics)
In cladistics or phylogenetics, an outgroup is a more distantly related group of organisms that serves as a reference group when determining the evolutionary relationships of the ingroup, the set of organisms under study, and is distinct from sociological outgroups. The outgroup is used as a point of comparison for the ingroup and specifically allows for the phylogeny to be rooted. Because the polarity (direction) of character change can be determined only on a rooted phylogeny, the choice of outgroup is essential for understanding the evolution of traits along a phylogeny. History Although the concept of outgroups has been in use from the earliest days of cladistics, the term "outgroup" is thought to have been coined in the early 1970s at the American Museum of Natural History. Prior to the advent of the term, various other terms were used by evolutionary biologists, including "exgroup", "related group", and "outside groups". Choice of outgroup The chosen outgroup is hypothes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
