Schinus
''Schinus'' is a genus of flowering trees and tall shrubs in the sumac family, Anacardiaceae. Members of the genus are commonly known as pepper trees. The Peruvian pepper tree (''Schinus molle'') is the source of the spice known as pink peppercorns. Some species (e.g. ''Schinus terebinthifolia'') have become an invasive species outside their natural habitats. ''Schinus polygama'', although less well known, is also potentially weedy in mesic areas. Etymology The generic name is derived from the Greek word for ''Pistacia lentiscus'', Σχίνος (''schinos''), which it resembles. There has been considerable historic confusion as to the correct gender of the genus name; as of 2015 this has been resolved with the determination that the correct gender of ''Schinus'' is feminine (rather than masculine), and adjectival names within the genus must be spelled accordingly.Zona, S.

Schinus Terebinthifolia
''Schinus terebinthifolia'' is a species of flowering plant in the cashew family, Anacardiaceae, that is native to subtropical and tropical South America. Common names include Brazilian peppertree, aroeira, rose pepper, broadleaved pepper tree, wilelaiki (or wililaiki), Christmasberry tree and Florida holly. The species name has been very commonly misspelled as ‘''terebinthifolius''’. Description Brazilian peppertree is a sprawling shrub or small tree, with a shallow root system, reaching a height of 7–10 m. The branches can be upright, reclining, or nearly vine-like, all on the same plant. Its plastic morphology allows it to thrive in all kinds of ecosystems: From dunes to swamps, where it grows as a semi-aquatic plant. The Leaf, leaves are Phyllotaxis, alternate, 10–22 cm long, pinnately compound with (3–) 5–152 leaflet (botany), leaflets; the leaflets are roughly Leaf shape, oval (lanceolate to elliptical), 3–6 cm long and 2–3.5 cm broa ...

Schinus Molle
''Schinus molle'' (Peruvian pepper, also known as American pepper, Peruvian peppertree, escobilla, false pepper, rosé pepper, molle del Peru, pepper tree, (Archived bWebCite peppercorn tree, California pepper tree, pirul (in Mexican Spanish site), Peruvian mastic, Anacahuita o Aguaribay and Pepperina) is an evergreen tree that grows to 15 meters (50 feet). It is native to an area from the Peruvian Andes to southern Brazil. The bright pink fruits of ''Schinus molle'' are often sold as "pink peppercorns" although ''S. molle'' is unrelated to true pepper ('' Piper nigrum''). The word ''molle'' in ''Schinus molle'' comes from ''mulli'', the Quechua word for the tree. The tree is host to the pepper-tree moth, ''Bombycomorpha bifascia''. Description ''Schinus molle'' is a quick growing evergreen tree that grows up to 15 meters (50 feet) tall and wide. It is the largest of all '' Schinus'' species and potentially the longest lived. The upper branches of the tree tend to droop. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Schinus Polygama
''Schinus polygama'', the Hardee peppertree or Chilean pepper tree, is a species of plant in the family Anacardiaceae native to Argentina and Chile and naturalized in California. Taxonomy The species name has been spelled ''Schinus polygamus'', which according to the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (article 62.1) is incorrect Latin grammar, and is "to be corrected" to ''Schinus polygama''. This is because botanical tradition uses feminine grammatical gender for the genus name ''Schinus'', as is the classical tradition for most genus names of trees that end in -''us'', and ''polygama'' is an adjective In linguistics, an adjective (abbreviated ) is a word that generally modifies a noun or noun phrase or describes its referent. Its semantic role is to change information given by the noun. Traditionally, adjectives were considered one of the ma ... that must take a feminine form (not the masculine form ''polygamus'').

Pink Peppercorn
A pink peppercorn (French: ''baie rose'', "pink berry") is a dried berry referring to three different species; the traditional Baies rose plant ''Euonymus phellomanus'', the shrub ''Schinus molle'', commonly known as the Peruvian peppertree, and the ''Schinus terebinthifolia'' (the Brazilian pepper). The pink peppercorn from the Baies rose plant (''Euonymus phellomanus''), is usually imported from Madagascar. As a result, they are expensive. Pink peppercorns are pungent and slightly sweet, but not nearly as flavorful as the true pepper. These berries were once banned by the Food and Drug Administration as a foodstuff, but are now considered safe for consumption. This seed is not to be confused with the Brazilian pepper berry (pink berry). Although not related to commercial pepper (''Piper nigrum'') the pink/red berries of the Peruvian peppertree are sold as pink peppercorns and often blended with commercial pepper. Pink peppercorns came to be called such because they resemble pep ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lithraea Molleoides
''Lithraea molleoides'' ( syn. ''Lithraea molleoides'' var. ''lorentziana'' Lillo, ''Lithraea ternifolia'', ''Schinus brasiliensis'' Marchand ex Cabrera, ''Schinus leucocarpus'' M., ''Schinus molleoides'' ( Vell.) Engler, ''Lithraea aroeirinha'' Marchand ex Warm.) is a tree (2.5 and 8 m tall) that is native to South America, specially in Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, and Cerrado vegetation of Brazil. Landscaping The plant is commonly considered as unsuitable to landscaping, as it is a poisonous plant: it produces volatile substances that propagate from touching the leaves, through contact with droplets, or through the tree's pollen. These substances are allergenic and contact with them may produce general allergic sensitivity, skin disease, fever, and visual problems. Planting this tree where it can be accessible to the general public is therefore strongly discouraged.

The Anacardiaceae, commonly known as the cashew family or sumac family, are a family of flowering plants, including about 83 genera with about 860 known species. Members of the Anacardiaceae bear fruits that are drupes and in some cases produce urushiol, an irritant. The Anacardiaceae include numerous genera, several of which are economically important, notably cashew (in the type genus '' Anacardium''), mango, Chinese lacquer tree, yellow mombin, Peruvian pepper, poison ivy, poison oak, sumac, smoke tree, marula and cuachalalate. The genus '' Pistacia'' (which includes the pistachio and mastic tree) is now included, but was previously placed in its own family, the Pistaciaceae. Description Trees or shrubs, each has inconspicuous flowers and resinous or milky sap that may be highly poisonous, as in black poisonwood and sometimes foul-smelling.
