Cladocolea Cupulata
''Cladocolea cupulata'' is a species of dioecious, parasitic mistletoe in the family Loranthaceae. The natural range of ''Cladocolea cupulata'' is throughout parts of Jalisco, Mexico, where it is known to specifically grow on pine trees (''Pinus'' spp.), such as, '' Pinus lumholtzii'', '' Pinus herrerae'', ''Pinus douglasiana'', '' Pinus jaliscana'', and '' Pinus georginae''. On average, most parasitized pine trees have 1-5 mistletoe growing on them. It has long, narrow leaves (that tend to grow inwards), with saddle-like peduncles that hold four flowers or so, and a long set of stems similar to other species in the genus. No official conservation status has been assigned to this species yet, although it would most likely check under “Least Concern A least-concern species is a species that has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as evaluated as not being a focus of species conservation because the specific species is still plen ...

Dioecy
Dioecy (; ; adj. dioecious , ) is a characteristic of a species, meaning that it has distinct individual organisms (unisexual) that produce male or female gametes, either directly (in animals) or indirectly (in seed plants). Dioecious reproduction is biparental reproduction. Dioecy has costs, since only about half the population directly produces offspring. It is one method for excluding self-fertilization and promoting allogamy (outcrossing), and thus tends to reduce the expression of recessive deleterious mutations present in a population. Plants have several other methods of preventing self-fertilization including, for example, dichogamy, herkogamy, and self-incompatibility. Dioecy is a dimorphic sexual system, alongside gynodioecy and androdioecy. In zoology In zoology, dioecious species may be opposed to hermaphroditic species, meaning that an individual is either male or female, in which case the synonym gonochory is more often used. Most animal species are dioeci ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mistletoe
Mistletoe is the common name for obligate hemiparasitic plants in the order Santalales. They are attached to their host tree or shrub by a structure called the haustorium, through which they extract water and nutrients from the host plant. The name mistletoe originally referred to the species '' Viscum album'' (European mistletoe, of the family Santalaceae in the order Santalales); it is the only species native to the British Isles and much of Europe. A related species with red rather than white fruits, '' Viscum cruciatum'', occurs in Southwest Spain and Southern Portugal, as well as in Morocco in North Africa and in southern Africa. The genus ''Viscum'' is not native to North America, but ''Viscum album'' was introduced to Northern California in 1900. The eastern mistletoe native to North America, '' Phoradendron leucarpum'', belongs to a distinct genus of the family Santalaceae. European mistletoe has smooth-edged, oval, evergreen leaves borne in pairs along the woo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Loranthaceae
Loranthaceae, commonly known as the showy mistletoes, is a family of flowering plants. It consists of about 75 genera and 1,000 species of woody plants, many of them hemiparasites. The three terrestrial species are ''Nuytsia floribunda'' (the Western Australian Christmas tree), '' Atkinsonia ligustrina'' (from the Blue Mountains of Australia), and '' Gaiadendron punctatum'' (from Central/South America.) Loranthaceae are primarily xylem parasites, but their haustoria may sometimes tap the phloem, while '' Tristerix aphyllus'' is almost holoparasitic. For a more complete description of the Australian Loranthaceae, seFlora of Australia online, for the Malesian Loranthaceae seFlora of Malesia Originally, Loranthaceae contained all mistletoe species, but the mistletoes of Europe and North America (''Viscum'', ''Arceuthobium'', and '' Phoradendron'') belong to the family Santalaceae. The APG II system 2003 assigns the family to the order Santalales in the clade core eudicots. Phy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Pinus douglasiana'' is a species of evergreen conifer in the family Pinaceae. It is found only in Mexico. A common name is Douglas pine, but that name is often applied to the more widespread species ''Pseudotsuga menziesii'' which is also known as Douglas fir.
