Taxandria (plant)
''Taxandria'' is a group of plants in the family Myrtaceae described as a genus in 2007. The entire genus is endemic (ecology), endemic to Western Australia, growing near the coast in the Southwest Australia, South West corner of the States and territories of Australia, State. Most species of ''Taxandria'' generally growing as tall shrubs, but ''Taxandria juniperina'' grows to tree size (up to 27m) and ''Taxandria linearifolia'' can grow as a small tree (up to 5m in height). ;species References Taxandria (plant), Rosids of Western Australia Myrtaceae genera Myrtales of Australia Endemic flora of Southwest Australia {{Australia-rosid-stub ...

Taxandria Juniperina
''Taxandria juniperina'' commonly known as wattie, native cedar, Warren River cedar or juniper myrtle is a species of tree that grows in the south west corner of Western Australia. This plant was previously classified as ''Agonis juniperina'' but is now part of the genus '' Taxandria''. The Noongar peoples know the tree as watti. Description ''Taxandria juniperina'' occurs mostly as an erect tree or shrub that usually grows to less than as a dense shrub but can grow up to in its native environment. It has fibrous brown bark that is a light red colour on the underside. It grows as a dense shrub in space or as a tall erect tree when part of a thicket. When the leaves and young stems are bruised they release a spicy perfume from which the plant is recognised to be a member of the family Myrtaceae. It is closely related to ''Leptospermum'' (Tea Tree). The tree has evergreen foliage with very narrow leaves, usually 7–13mm long and 0.3–1.5 mm wide. The flowers produced ...

Taxandria Floribunda
''Taxandria floribunda'' is a small tree or shrub species that is endemic to an area in southern Western Australia.

Myrtaceae Genera
Myrtaceae, the myrtle family, is a family of dicotyledonous plants placed within the order Myrtales. Myrtus, Myrtle, Metrosideros, pōhutukawa, Pimenta racemosa, bay rum tree, clove, guava, Acca (plant), acca (feijoa), allspice, and eucalyptus are some notable members of this group. All species are woody, contain essential oils, and have flower parts in multiples of four or five. The leaf, leaves are evergreen, alternate to mostly opposite, simple, and usually entire (i.e., without a toothed margin). The flowers have a base number of five petals, though in several genera, the petals are minute or absent. The stamens are usually very conspicuous, brightly coloured, and numerous. Evolutionary history Scientists hypothesize that the family Myrtaceae arose between 60 and 56 million years ago (Mya) during the Paleocene era. Pollen fossils have been sourced to the ancient supercontinent Gondwana. The breakup of Gondwana during the Cretaceous period (145 to 66 Mya) geographically isol ...

Rosids Of Western Australia
The rosids are members of a large clade (monophyletic group) of flowering plants, containing about 70,000 species, more than a quarter of all angiosperms. The clade is divided into 16 to 20 orders, depending upon circumscription and classification. These orders, in turn, together comprise about 140 families. Fossil rosids are known from the Cretaceous period. Molecular clock estimates indicate that the rosids originated in the Aptian or Albian stages of the Cretaceous, between 125 and 99.6 million years ago. Today's forests are highly dominated by rosid species, which in turn helped with diversification in many other living lineages. Additionally, rosid herbs and shrubs are also a significant part of arctic/alpine, temperate floras, aquatics, desert plants, and parasites. Name The name is based upon the name "Rosidae", which had usually been understood to be a subclass. In 1967, Armen Takhtajan showed that the correct basis for the name "Rosidae" is a description of a group ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
