Hesperiinae
Grass skippers or banded skippers are butterflies of the subfamily Hesperiinae, part of the skipper family, Hesperiidae. The subfamily was established by Pierre André Latreille in 1809. Description and distribution With over 2,000 described species, this is the largest skipper butterfly subfamily and occurs worldwide except in New Zealand. About 50 percent of grass skippers live in the Neotropics. 137 species are native to North America. Around 38 species are native to Australia. Genera ''Ochlodes'' and ''Hesperia'' exist exclusively in the Holarctic. They are usually orange, rust, or brown in colour and have pointed forewings. Many species have dark markings or black stigmas on their forewings. Most members of this subfamily have an oval antenna club with an apiculus on the tip, although '' Carterocephalus'' and '' Piruna'' do not. The antennae generally has a sharp bend. Hesperiinae larvae feed on many different types of grasses and sedges and palms, though some species are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chamaerops
''Chamaerops'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Arecaceae. The only currently fully accepted species is ''Chamaerops humilis'', variously called European fan palm or the Mediterranean dwarf palm. It is one of the most cold-hardy palms and is used in landscaping in temperate climates. Taxonomy Apart from the fully accepted ''Chamaerops humilis,'' there are a few taxa of unresolved status plus numerous species synonymised under ''Chamaerops humilis''. The species ''Chamaerops humilis'' itself has three accepted varieties as follows: *''Chamaerops humilis'' var. ''argentea'' André (syn. ''C. h.'' var. ''cerifera'') – "Atlas mountain palm" of Northwest Africa. Leaves glaucous. *''Chamaerops humilis'' var. ''epondraes'' – Northwest Africa. Leaves glaucous. *''Chamaerops humilis'' var. ''humilis'' – Southwest Europe. Leaves green. There also are at least three cultivars (''C. humilis'' var. ''humilis'' 'Nana', ''C. humilis'' 'Vulcano', ''C. humilis'' 'Stella'). ...

Calamus (palm)
''Calamus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the palm family Arecaceae that are among several genera known as rattan palms. There are an estimated 400 species in this genus, all native to tropical and subtropical Asia, Africa, and Australia. Description They are dioecious, mostly leaf-climbing lianas with slender, reedy stems. To aid scrambling some species have evolved hooks on the underside of the midrib, or more commonly by modified "pinnae" or tendrils in the form of stout, backward-pointing spines. These stems may grow to lengths of 200 metres. The fruits of certain species, in particular ''Calamus draco'', produce a red resin known as "Dragon's blood". Species , ''Plants of the World Online'' recognises 415 species: # '' Calamus acamptostachys'' (Becc.) W.J.Baker # '' Calamus acanthochlamys'' J.Dransf. # '' Calamus acanthophyllus'' Becc. # ''Calamus acanthospathus'' Griff. # '' Calamus acaulis'' A.J.Hend., N.K.Ban & N.Q.Dung # ''Calamus adspersus'' Blume # '' C ...

Trachycarpus
''Trachycarpus'' is a genus of eleven species of palms native to Asia, from the Himalaya east to eastern China. They are fan palms (subfamily Coryphoideae), with the leaves with a bare petiole terminating in a rounded fan of numerous leaflets. The leaf bases produce persistent fibres that often give the trunk a characteristic hairy appearance. All species are dioecious, with male and female flowers produced on separate plants although female plants will sometimes produce male flowers, allowing occasional self-pollination. Cultivation and uses The most common species in cultivation is ''Trachycarpus fortunei'' (Chusan palm or windmill palm), which is the northernmost cultivated palm species in the world. Cities as far north as London, Dublin, Seattle and Vancouver have long term cultivated palms in several areas. The dwarf form popularly known as ''T. wagnerianus'' is unknown in the wild, and is now considered synonymous with ''T. fortunei'' Flora of China''Trachycarpus fortunei ...

Rhapis
''Rhapis'' is a genus of about 10 species of small palms native to southeastern Asia from southern Japan and southern China south to Sumatra. The species are commonly known as lady palms. They are fan palms (subfamily Coryphoideae), with the leaves with a bare petiole terminating in a rounded fan of numerous leaflets. The plants have thin stems growing to 3–4 m tall, branching at the base, forming clumps and are dioecious, with male and female flowers produced on separate plants. Cultivation and uses Several species are cultivated as ornamental plants, of which ''Rhapis excelsa ''Rhapis excelsa'', also known as broadleaf lady palm or bamboo palm, is a species of fan palm (Arecaceae subfamily Coryphoideae, tribe Trachycarpeae) in the genus ''Rhapis'', probably native to southern China and Taiwan.

Phoenix (plant)
''Phoenix'' is a genus of 14 species of Arecaceae, palms, native plant, native to an area starting from the Canary Islands in the west, across northern and central Africa, to the extreme southeast of Europe (Crete), and continuing throughout southern Asia from Turkey east to southern China and Malaysia. The diverse habitats they occupy include swamps, deserts, and mangrove sea coasts. Most ''Phoenix'' species originate in Semi-arid climate, semi-arid regions, but usually occur near high groundwater levels, rivers, or Spring (hydrosphere), springs. The genus is unusual among members of subfamily Coryphoideae in having pinnate, rather than palmate leaves; tribe Caryoteae also have pinnate or bipinnate leaves.Riffle, Robert L. & Craft, Paul (2003) ''An Encyclopedia of Cultivated Palms''. Portland: Timber Press. / The palms were more numerous and widespread in the past than they are at present. Some ''Phoenix'' palms have become naturalised in other parts of the world; in particular ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Licuala
''Licuala'' is a genus of palms, in the tribe Trachycarpeae, commonly found in tropical forests of southern China, Southeast Asia, the Himalayas, New Guinea and the western Pacific Ocean islands. Description and uses ''Licuala'' spp. are fan palms, with the leaves mostly circular in outline, sometimes undivided but more usually divided into wedge-shaped segments. ''Licuala acutifida'' is the source of cane for the walking stick nicknamed the ''Penang-lawyer'' by colonials, probably from the Malay phrase for a wild areca, although the term may also refer to the use of these canes as deadly knobkerries to assassinate litigious enemies. Several species of ''Licuala'' have been transferred into a new genus ''Lanonia''. Species ''Plants of the World Online'' currently (February 2021) includes 167 accepted species: * '' Licuala acuminata'' Burret * ''Licuala acutifida'' Mart. * '' Licuala adscendens'' Barfod & Heatubun * '' Licuala ahlidurii'' Saw * '' Licuala angustiloba'' Burre ...
