Oxanthera
The false oranges are a group of flowering plants in the ''Citrus'' genus, within the family, Rutaceae. They are endemic to New Caledonia. Though previously viewed as members of ''Citrus'', Swingle moved the false oranges into their own genus, ''Oxanthera''. He placed the genus within the Triphasiinae subtribe of Citreae based on the similar size of their fruit. However, subsequent phylogenetic analysis showed them to cluster in the Citrinae subtribe within the same clade as Swingle's genus '' Clymenia'' and the Australian lime Australian limes are species of the plant genus ''Citrus'' that are native to Australia and Papua New Guinea. These species were formerly included in the genera ''Microcitrus'' and ''Eremocitrus''. They have been used as a food source by indigeno ...s, as members of an enlarged monophyletic ''Citrus'', with the suggested relegation of the ''Oxanthera'' taxon as a ''Citrus'' subgenus.

Oxanthera Brevipes
''Oxanthera brevipes'' is a species of plant in the family Rutaceae. It is endemic Endemism is the state of a species being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found else ... to New Caledonia. It was proposed as a novel species by Benjamin C. Stone based on two specimens, distinguished from other false oranges by a non-articulated petiole.Benjamin C. Stone (1985). "New and noteworthy palotropical species of Rutaceae", ''Proceedings of The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia'', vol. 137, pp. 213-228 The genus ''Oxanthera'' has been synonymized with ''Citrus'', but a name in ''Citrus'' does not appear to have been published, and Plants of the World Online regards "''Oxanthera brevipes''" as an unplaced name.

Citrus Oxanthera
''Citrus oxanthera'', synonym ''Oxanthera aurantium'', is a species of plant in the family Rutaceae. Sometimes referred to commonly as the orange-flowered oxanthera, it is endemic to New Caledonia. Taxonomy ''Citrus oxanthera'' has historically been placed in a number of genera, including '' Atalantia'' and most recently, ''Oxanthera'', commonly known as false oranges. Phylogenetic analysis showed that ''Oxanthera'' species clustered within ''Citrus'', which makes this species a member of that genus, as had been suggested by Georges Beauvisage a century before.Georges Beauvisage, ''Genera Montrouzierana plantarum novoe caledonioe'', Paris, 1901, p. 14 References * Endemic flora of New Caledonia oxanthera The false oranges are a group of flowering plants in the ''Citrus'' genus, within the family, Rutaceae.

Citrus
''Citrus'' is a genus of flowering trees and shrubs in the rue family, Rutaceae. Plants in the genus produce citrus fruits, including important crops such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits, pomelos, and limes. The genus ''Citrus'' is native to South Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Melanesia, and Australia. Various citrus species have been used and domesticated by indigenous cultures in these areas since ancient times. From there its cultivation spread into Micronesia and Polynesia by the Austronesian expansion (c. 3000–1500 BCE); and to the Middle East and the Mediterranean (c. 1200 BCE) via the incense trade route, and onwards to Europe and the Americas. History Citrus plants are native to subtropical and tropical regions of Asia, Island Southeast Asia, Near Oceania, and northeastern Australia. Domestication of citrus species involved much hybridization and introgression, leaving much uncertainty about when and where domestication first happened. A genomic, phylog ...

Flowering Plant
Flowering plants are plants that bear flowers and fruits, and form the clade Angiospermae (), commonly called angiosperms. The term "angiosperm" is derived from the Greek words ('container, vessel') and ('seed'), and refers to those plants that produce their seeds enclosed within a fruit. They are by far the most diverse group of land plants with 64 orders, 416 families, approximately 13,000 known genera and 300,000 known species. Angiosperms were formerly called Magnoliophyta (). Like gymnosperms, angiosperms are seed-producing plants. They are distinguished from gymnosperms by characteristics including flowers, endosperm within their seeds, and the production of fruits that contain the seeds. The ancestors of flowering plants diverged from the common ancestor of all living gymnosperms before the end of the Carboniferous, over 300 million years ago. The closest fossil relatives of flowering plants are uncertain and contentious. The earliest angiosperm fossils ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aurantioideae
Aurantioideae (sometimes known as Citroideae) is the subfamily within the rue and citrus family (Rutaceae) that contains the citrus. The subfamily's center of diversity is in the monsoon region of eastern Australasia, extending west through South Asia into Africa, and eastwards into Polynesia. Notable members include citrus (genus ''Citrus''), bael (''Aegle marmelos''), curd fruit (''Limonia acidissima''), species of genus ''Murraya'' such as curry tree (''M. koenigii'') and orange jessamine (''M. paniculata''), and the small genus ''Clausena''. Description Aurantioideae are smallish trees or large shrubs, or rarely lianas. Their flowers are typically white and fragrant. Their fruit are very characteristic hesperidia, usually of rounded shape and colored in green, yellowish or orange hues. Taxonomy The subfamily has been divided into two tribes, the ancestral Clauseneae and the more advanced Citreae, as in a 1967 classification. A 2021 classification by Appelhans et al. bas ...

Petal
Petals are modified leaves that surround the reproductive parts of flowers. They are often brightly colored or unusually shaped to attract pollinators. All of the petals of a flower are collectively known as the ''corolla''. Petals are usually accompanied by another set of modified leaves called sepals, that collectively form the ''calyx'' and lie just beneath the corolla. The calyx and the corolla together make up the perianth, the non-reproductive portion of a flower. When the petals and sepals of a flower are difficult to distinguish, they are collectively called tepals. Examples of plants in which the term ''tepal'' is appropriate include genera such as '' Aloe'' and '' Tulipa''. Conversely, genera such as ''Rosa'' and '' Phaseolus'' have well-distinguished sepals and petals. When the undifferentiated tepals resemble petals, they are referred to as "petaloid", as in petaloid monocots, orders of monocots with brightly colored tepals. Since they include Liliales, an alte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stamen
The stamen (plural ''stamina'' or ''stamens'') is the pollen-producing reproductive organ of a flower. Collectively the stamens form the androecium., p. 10 Morphology and terminology A stamen typically consists of a stalk called the filament and an anther which contains '' microsporangia''. Most commonly anthers are two-lobed and are attached to the filament either at the base or in the middle area of the anther. The sterile tissue between the lobes is called the connective, an extension of the filament containing conducting strands. It can be seen as an extension on the dorsal side of the anther. A pollen grain develops from a microspore in the microsporangium and contains the male gametophyte. The stamens in a flower are collectively called the androecium. The androecium can consist of as few as one-half stamen (i.e. a single locule) as in '' Canna'' species or as many as 3,482 stamens which have been counted in the saguaro (''Carnegiea gigantea''). The androecium in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Subgenus
In biology, a subgenus (plural: subgenera) is a taxonomic rank directly below genus. In the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, a subgeneric name can be used independently or included in a species name, in parentheses, placed between the generic Generic or generics may refer to: In business * Generic term, a common name used for a range or class of similar things not protected by trademark * Generic brand, a brand for a product that does not have an associated brand or trademark, other ... name and the specific epithet: e.g. the tiger cowry of the Indo-Pacific, ''Cypraea'' (''Cypraea'') ''tigris'' Linnaeus, which belongs to the subgenus ''Cypraea'' of the genus ''Cypraea''. However, it is not mandatory, or even customary, when giving the name of a species, to include the subgeneric name. In the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICNafp), the subgenus is one of the possible subdivisions of a genus. There is no limit to the number of ...

Australian Lime
Australian limes are species of the plant genus ''Citrus'' that are native to Australia and Papua New Guinea. These species were formerly included in the genera ''Microcitrus'' and ''Eremocitrus''. They have been used as a food source by indigenous Australians as well as early settlers and are used in modern Australian cuisine, including marmalade and sauces. Species include: Species from Australia Natural species *''Citrus australasica'' (Finger lime), a species from rainforest regions of northern New South Wales and Southern Queensland with elongated yellow-green to purple fruits. *''Citrus australis'' (Round lime or Dooja), a species from south-eastern Australia with round, green fruits *'' Citrus glauca'' (Desert lime), from arid inland areas of inland Australia. Small round fruits are produced in summer. * '' Citrus garrawayi'', (Mount White lime) is rare and endemic to the Cook District of Cape York Peninsula. * '' Citrus gracilis'' (Kakadu lime or Humpty Doo lime ...

Clymenia (plant)
''Clymenia'' is a small genus of flowering plants in the family Rutaceae with two species. The genus is often included in ''Citrus''. Description ''Clymenia'' forms a shrub or small tree, free of spines. Leaves feature a short, narrow petiole, which sets them apart from most other citrus, especially the papedas native to the same general area. ''Clymenia'' fruits are a small hesperidium, very similar to a citrus fruit. Sweet and lemony in flavor, the tangerine-sized fruits are highly segmented, with yellow pulp, and a leathery rind, similar to a true citrus fruit. They contain a large number of polyembryonic seeds. The fruit are eaten by the Bismarck islanders, who call it ''a-mulis'' ( Namatanai). Native to a handful of locations on Papua New Guinea and nearby islets, including New Ireland, New Britain and the Admiralty Islands, ''Clymenia'' is far more tropical than other citrus, and even in subtropical parts of the United States, it can only be grown in a greenhouse.
