''Labourdonnaisia'' is native to certain islands in the Indian Ocean (Madagascar, Mauritius, Réunion). The genus is named for Bertrand-François Mahé de La Bourdonnais (1699 – 1753), French governor of Mauritius 1735–1740. The ''Labourdonnaisia'' tree species can also sometimes be confused with the Mascarene trees of the genus ''Sideroxylon''. However the ''Labourdonnaisia'' species have parallel venation on their leaves, while the ''Sideroxylon'' species have densely netted leaf-venation and strong midribs under their leaves. ;species # ''Labourdonnaisia calophylloides'' Bojer - Mauritius, Réunion # ''Labourdonnaisia glauca'' Bojer - Mauritius # ''Labourdonnaisia lecomtei'' Aubrév. - Madagascar # ''Labourdonnaisia madagascariensis'' Pierre ex Baill. - Madagascar # ''Labourdonnaisia revoluta'' Bojer - Mauritius # ''Labourdonnaisia richardiana'' Pierr ...

Sapotaceae Genera
240px, '' Madhuca longifolia'' var. ''latifolia'' in Narsapur, Medak district, India The Sapotaceae are a family (biology), family of flowering plants belonging to the order (biology), order Ericales. The family includes about 800 species of evergreen trees and shrubs in around 65 genera (35-75, depending on generic definition). Their distribution is pantropical. Many species produce edible fruits, or white blood-sap that is used to cleanse dirt, organically and manually, while others have other economic uses. Species noted for their edible fruits include '' Manilkara'' (sapodilla), '' Chrysophyllum cainito'' (star-apple or golden leaf tree), and ''Pouteria'' (''abiu, canistel, lúcuma'', mamey sapote). ''Vitellaria paradoxa'' (''shi'' in several languages of West Africa and ''karité'' in French; also anglicized as shea) is also the source of an oil-rich nut, the source of edible shea butter, which is the major lipid source for many African ethnic groups and is also used in t ...

Vallée De Ferney
Ferney La Vallée is a forest and wildlife reserve situated in the Bambou mountains north of Mahébourg in Grand Port District, Mauritius. It is managed by the La Vallée de Ferney Conservation Trust. History and location The 200 hectare natural area was established at the end of 2006, as a conservation trust - with the land-owners in partnership with the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation (MWF) and local authorities. It was launched as a program for conservation and restoration of the indigenous forests of the valley. Awareness of the valley's biodiversity was raised in 2004 when a highway that was due to be constructed through the area threatened the local plants and animals with the necessary clearing of forest for the roads and tunnels. Surveys in the valley by the Environment Monitoring Committee led to the discovery of several species that were new to science, or were thought to have been extinct. It also predicted that a great many more new species would likely be discovered i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sideroxylon
''Sideroxylon'' is a genus of trees in the family Sapotaceae described as a genus by Linnaeus in 1753. They are collectively known as bully trees. The generic name is derived from the Greek words σιδηρος (''sideros''), meaning "iron", and ξύλον (''xylon''), meaning "wood." Distribution The genus is distributed mainly in North and South America, but also in Africa, Madagascar, southern Asia, and various oceanic islands. Some species, such as gum bully ('' S. lanuginosum''), '' S. tenax'', and buckthorn bully ('' S. lycioides''), are found in subtropical areas of North America. The only South African species, the white milkwood ('' S. inerme''), is associated with three historical sites, and these individuals were declared national monuments due to their unusual longevity. Ecology Several species have become rare due to logging and other forms of habitat destruction. The Tambalacoque ('' S. grandiflorum'', syn. ''Calvaria major'') of Mauritius was affected by the ex ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
