Planchonella
''Planchonella'' is a genus of Flowering plant, flowering trees in the gutta-percha family (biology), family, Sapotaceae. Named in honour of Jules Émile Planchon, it was described by Jean Baptiste Louis Pierre. It contains around 110 mainly tropical species, which range from Pakistan through Southeast Asia and New Guinea to northern and eastern Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands. The genus is included in the larger genus ''Pouteria'' by some authorities, hence species such as ''Planchonella australis'' are also known as ''Pouteria australis''.

Pouteria
''Pouteria'' is a genus of flowering plant, flowering trees in the gutta-percha family (biology), family, Sapotaceae. The genus is widespread throughout the tropical Americas, with outlier species in Cameroon and Malesia. It includes the canistel (''Pouteria campechiana, P. campechiana''), the mamey sapote (''Mamey sapote, P. sapota''), and the lucuma (''Lucuma, P. lucuma''). Commonly, this genus is known as pouteria trees, or in some cases, eggfruits. ''Pouteria'' is related to ''Manilkara'', another genus that produces hard and heavy woods (e.g. ''balatá'', ''M. bidentata'') used commonly for tropical construction, as well as edible fruit (such as sapodilla, ''M. zapota''). Range ''Pouteria'', as currently delineated, has over 200 species in the tropical Americas, from Mexico to northern Argentina and central Chile, including Florida and the Caribbean islands. Four species are found outside the Americas. ''Pouteria hexastemon'' is native to Cameroon in west-central Africa, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Planchonella Costata
''Planchonella costata'' is a small coastal tree native to the northern North Island (New Zealand) and to Norfolk Island (Australia). In New Zealand, its common name is tawapou (Māori: "tawāpou"); on Norfolk Island it is called bastard ironwood. The name ''costata'' is from the Latin ''costatus'' (ribbed), a reference to the prominently raised primary nerves of the leaves. Naming and taxonomy Tawapou has undergone several scientific name changes. Some taxonomists consider it to belong in the wastebasket genus ''Pouteria'', others prefer the genus ''Planchonella'' (the latter genus is often sunk into the former). Other scientific names of this plant include ''Planchonella novozelandica''. Distribution On Norfolk Island ''P. costata'' is an uncommon tree, occurring locally in forested areas and on Mt Pitt, and is listed as 'endangered' under the Australian Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. In New Zealand, ''Planchonella costata'' grows locally on i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Planchonella Australis
''Planchonella australis'', also known by the synonym ''Pouteria australis'', is a medium to tall rainforest tree of the family Sapotaceae native to Queensland and New South Wales, Australia. It is known by the common name black apple, wild plum, yellow buttonwood, black plum and yellow bulletwood. Floyd, Alexander G., ''Rainforest Trees of Mainland South-eastern Australia'', Inkata Press 2008, pp. 406-07. Description ''Planchonella australis'' grows as a tree reaching a maximum height of , with a fluted trunk up to diameter, with rough brown bark. The leaves are simple, measuring 8–16 cm long and 2–5 cm wide, thick and leathery. The upper surface is shiny, lower surface paler green. They taper somewhat at the apex and base, rendering a somewhat diamond-shape. The flowers are generally axillary. Resembling plums in appearance, the edible fruit are 20–65 mm long, purplish or black, containing 2–5 brown and shiny seeds, 2 cm long. They ripen from Septe ...

Planchonella Reticulata
''Planchonella reticulata'' is a flowering plant in the sapodilla family (biology), family, Sapotaceae. It is a shrub or tree endemic to east-central New Caledonia. The botanical name, specific epithet refers to the reticulate venation (network-like pattern of the veins) on the leaves.
