Green Cape, New South Wales
Green Cape is a locality situated on the eponymous headland or cape on the far south coast of New South Wales. It is located at 37° 15' S 150° 03' E, within Beowa National Park, south of Eden, New South Wales. The headland forms the northern boundary of Disaster Bay. History The first vessel recorded shipwrecked at Green Cape was the ''City of Sydney'' which struck the cape in fog on 6 October 1862 with more than 100 passengers on board. All passengers and crew boarded lifeboats and made it safely ashore. The Green Cape Lighthouse, the southernmost lighthouse in New South Wales, completed in 1883, was mostly constructed by Albert Aspinall, who constructed a wooden tramway from the nearest landfall at Bittangabee Bay for the purpose. On 31 May 1886 The SS Ly-Ee-Moon en route to Sydney from Melbourne, struck a reef close to the cape at night. 71 souls were lost with the lighthouse keepers only being able to save 15 people under the conditions.

Flora Of Victoria (state)
Flora is all the plant life present in a particular region or time, generally the naturally occurring (indigenous) native plants. Sometimes bacteria and fungi are also referred to as flora, as in the terms ''gut flora'' or '' skin flora''. Etymology The word "flora" comes from the Latin name of Flora, the goddess of plants, flowers, and fertility in Roman mythology. The technical term "flora" is then derived from a metonymy of this goddess at the end of the sixteenth century. It was first used in poetry to denote the natural vegetation of an area, but soon also assumed the meaning of a work cataloguing such vegetation. Moreover, "Flora" was used to refer to the flowers of an artificial garden in the seventeenth century. The distinction between vegetation (the general appearance of a community) and flora (the taxonomic composition of a community) was first made by Jules Thurmann (1849). Prior to this, the two terms were used indiscriminately.Thurmann, J. (1849). ''Essai de Phy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sapindales Of Australia
Sapindales is an order of flowering plants. Well-known members of Sapindales include citrus; maples, horse-chestnuts, lychees and rambutans; mangos and cashews; frankincense and myrrh; mahogany and neem. The APG III system of 2009 includes it in the clade malvids (in rosids, in eudicots) with the following nine families: *Anacardiaceae *Biebersteiniaceae *Burseraceae *Kirkiaceae *Meliaceae *Nitrariaceae (including Peganaceae and Tetradiclidaceae) *Rutaceae *Sapindaceae *Simaroubaceae The APG II system of 2003 allowed the optional segregation of families now included in the Nitrariaceae. In the classification system of Dahlgren the Rutaceae were placed in the order Rutales, in the superorder Rutiflorae (also called Rutanae). The Cronquist system of 1981 used a somewhat different circumscription, including the following families: *Staphyleaceae *Melianthaceae * Bretschneideraceae *Akaniaceae *Sapindaceae *Hippocastanaceae *Aceraceae *Burseraceae *Anacardiaceae *Julianiaceae ...

Zieria
''Zieria'' is a genus of plants in the family, Rutaceae. About sixty species have been formally described, all of which are endemic to Australia except for one species which is found in New Caledonia. They occur in all Australian states except Western Australia but the genus is under review and a number of species are yet to be described or the description published. Zierias are similar to the better known genus ''Boronia'' but can be distinguished by the number of stamens in the flowers. The name ''Zieria'' honours the Polish botanist John Zier. Description Plants in the genus ''Zieria'' are shrubs or small trees. The leaves are arranged in opposite pairs and are usually compound with three leaflets similar in shape but the middle leaflet slightly larger. The flowers are arranged in groups in the leaf axils and have four fused sepals and four petals alternating with the sepals. There are four stamens (eight in ''Boronia'') and four carpels with their styles fused. The fruit h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Latin
Latin (, or , ) is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin was originally a dialect spoken in the lower Tiber area (then known as Latium) around present-day Rome, but through the power of the Roman Republic it became the dominant language in the Italian region and subsequently throughout the Roman Empire. Even after the fall of Western Rome, Latin remained the common language of international communication, science, scholarship and academia in Europe until well into the 18th century, when other regional vernaculars (including its own descendants, the Romance languages) supplanted it in common academic and political usage, and it eventually became a dead language in the modern linguistic definition. Latin is a highly inflected language, with three distinct genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), six or seven noun cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative, and vocative), five declensions, four verb conjuga ...
