Ribbonwood

	Ribbonwood Ribbonwood is a common name for several plants. They are like the lacebarks in having an inner layer of bark made up many lace-like layers, which can be torn into ribbon-like strips, and may refer to: * ''Adenostoma sparsifolium'', more commonly known as red shanks or ribbon bush, a large shrub native to upper chaparral in California and Baja California * ''Idiospermum australiense'', an Australian tree * Genus '' Hoheria'', also known as lacebark * '' Plagianthus regius'', a New Zealand tree, lowland ribbonwood, Chatham Island ribbonwood * ''Plagianthus divaricatus'', a New Zealand tree, salt marsh ribbonwood, swamp ribbonwood, shore ribbonwood, coastal ribbonwood, swamp fragrant ribbonwood or fragrant ribbonwood * ''Plagianthus betulinus ''Plagianthus betulinus'' or ribbonwood is a tree that is endemic to New Zealand. One of the distinctive aspects of this tree is that it is usually deciduous which is unusual for New Zealand New Zealand ( mi, Aotearoa ) is an island co ...

	Plagianthus Regius ''Plagianthus regius'' or lowland ribbonwood is a tree that is endemic to New Zealand. The common name is simply ''ribbonwood''. The Māori name is manatu but is also known as houi, manaui manatu, puruhi and whauwhi. The juvenile form has bushy interlacing branches with small leaves, while an older tree will tend to have larger leaves, sometimes with the lower parts of tree still displaying divaricating leaves. A profusion of small white or green flowers appear in dense clusters in spring making it easier to distinguish from the similar lacebark genus. One of the distinctive aspects of this tree is that it is usually deciduous which is unusual for New Zealand, although in the northern areas it can be semi-deciduous. It is considered the largest of New Zealand's deciduous trees growing to 17 metres, and grows in the North, South and Stewart Islands. A subspecies from the Chatham Islands, ''Plagianthus regius'' subsp. ''chathamicus'', is very similar but lacks the divaricating aspe ...

	Idiospermum Australiense ''Idiospermum'' is a genus containing a single species of tree, ''Idiospermum australiense'', found in Australian tropical rainforests. The species represents one of the earliest known lineages of flowering plants, dating back as far as 120 million years. It is found today only in the Daintree and Wet Tropics rainforests region of north-eastern Queensland. It is endemic to a very few locations in north-eastern Queensland (e.g. in Daintree National Park), in the very wet lowland parts of the forest, in groups of 10–100 trees together (rather than scattered individuals). Common names include ribbonwood and idiot fruit. Description Ribbonwood trees grow naturally in their wet tropical rainforest habitats as evergreens up to about tall and about in diameter at breast height (DBH). The simple leaves grow singly, in pairs or in whorls of 3–4, each one measuring about long and wide. The flowers measure in diameter, with all floral organs spirally arranged. The tepals are init ...

	Lacebark Lacebark is a common name for several plants, lacebark trees and may refer to: * lacebark or lace-bark, a textile made from ''Lagetta lagetto'' species * lacebark, a common name for species in the genus ''Brachychiton'' * lacebark, a common name for species in the genus ''Hoheria'' * lacebark elm, a common name for ''Ulmus parvifolia'' * lacebark pine, a common name for ''Pinus bungeana ''Pinus bungeana'' (English: Bunge's pine or lacebark pine or white-barked pine; Chinese: 白皮松 Japanese: シロマツ, ) is a pine tree native to northeastern and central China.

	Adenostoma Sparsifolium ''Adenostoma sparsifolium'', commonly known as redshanks or less commonly, ribbonwood or ribbon bush, is a multi-trunked tree or shrub native to dry slopes or chaparral of Southern California and northern Baja California. Description Shaggy falling shanks or ribbons of bark are one of the strongest characteristics of the ''Adenostoma sparsifolium'' tree, hence the common names. As the species name "sparsifolium" suggests, it has tiny, filamentous leaves. Redshanks are closely related to the more abundant Chamise (''Adenostoma fasciculatum''). Ecology Redshanks inhabits higher elevations of chaparral just above and below the snowline in the Peninsular Ranges and does best on north-facing "ubac" slopes at around 4,000 feet of elevation. Associates at its lower range include California Scrub Oak ''Quercus berberidifolia'', the California scrub oak, is a small evergreen or semi-evergreen shrubby oak in the white oak section of ''Quercus''. It is a native of the scrubby hills of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Hoheria ''Hoheria'' is a genus of six species of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae. All are endemic to New Zealand. The genus name is a latinization of the Māori language name, ''houhere''. That name, as well as lacebark and ribbonwood, are often used as common names. The name ''lacebark'' comes from the lace-like fibrous inner bark layer. ''Hoheria'' are mostly evergreen, with ''Hoheria glabrata'' (mountain ribbonwood) a deciduous species. They are large shrubs or small trees growing tall, bearing large quantities of fragrant, 5-petalled white flowers in summer or autumn. The flowers are attractive to butterflies. They are borne in axils on jointed peduncles and produce hard, dry seed capsules. The leaves are serrate to dentate and ovate to lanceolate in shape. Juvenile foliage may persist on young plants for several years, and may have a metallic cast. Some species are cultivated in New Zealand and Great Britain as ornamental plants.

	Plagianthus Divaricatus ''Plagianthus divaricatus'' or saltmarsh ribbonwood is a plant that is endemic to New Zealand. The Māori name is makaka. ''Plagianthus divaricatus'' is an upright shrub with closely interwoven branches. The shrub is found in coastal environments in areas with salt swamp, sandy banks and throughout estuaries An estuary is a partially enclosed coastal body of brackish water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea.
