Alloxylon Flammeum
''Alloxylon flammeum'', commonly known as the Queensland tree waratah or red silky oak, is a medium-sized tree of the family Proteaceae found in the Queensland tropical rain forests of northeastern Australia. It has shiny green elliptical leaves up to long, and prominent orange-red inflorescences that appear from August to October, followed by rectangular woody seed pods that ripen in February and March. Juvenile plants have large (up to long) deeply lobed pinnate leaves. Previously known as ''Oreocallis wickhamii'', the initial specimen turned out to be a different species to the one cultivated and hence a new scientific name was required. Described formally by Peter Weston and Mike Crisp in 1991, ''A. flammeum'' was designated the type species of the genus ''Alloxylon''. This genus contains the four species previously classified in ''Oreocallis'' that are found in Australasia. ''Alloxylon flammeum'' is a canopy or emergent tree of the Mabi rainforest community of north ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Erythrina Abyssinica
''Erythrina abyssinica'' (lucky bean or flame tree) is a tree species of the genus ''Erythrina'' belonging to the plant family of the Fabaceae (or Leguminosae) described by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in 1825. This leguminous tree species is native to East Africa, Eastern DRC and southern Africa. In Zimbabwe its range overlaps with the similar '' Erythrina latissima''. History Close-up of inflorescence The description of ''E. abyssinica'' has been complicated, because the first specimen of ''Erythrina'' from Ethiopia (Abyssinia) brought to Europe was actually a mix of the two species. The flowers and leaves belonged to ''E. brucei'' Schweinfurth (1868) and the pod and seeds to ''E. abyssinica'' Lam. ex DC (1825). In addition, the first three descriptions were invalid, i.e. not published correctly to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (syn.
