Denhamia Cupularis
''Denhamia'' is a genus of plants within the family Celastraceae, with species in Australia, New Guinea, and New Caledonia. The species inhabit a variety of environments, from rainforest to semi-arid savanna. All species grow as shrubs or small trees up to 10 metres in height. 17 species are currently accepted. Based on a molecular and morphological analysis, the genus was enlarged in 2011 to include several Australian and Pacific island species formerly classified as ''Maytenus'' – ''Denhamia bilocularis, D. cunninghamii, D. cupularis, D. disperma, D. fasciculiflora, D. ferdinandii, D.fournieri'', and ''D. silvestris''.McKenna, M.

Denhamia Oleaster
''Denhamia oleaster'' is a shrub or small tree within the family Celastraceae, endemic to Queensland. The species inhabits a variety of environments, from Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, monsoon forest to semi-arid savanna and occurs on a broad range of soil types. In more humid locales the species can grow to 6 metres in height, although it may not reach more than 1 metre in less favourable environments. John Lindley described the plant as ''Melicytus oleaster'' in 1848, it being discovered on explorer Thomas Mitchell (explorer), Sir Thomas Mitchell's expeditions into northern Australia. ''Denhamia oleaster'' is found in across inland Queensland in open woodland and scrubland in the Brigalow Belt, as well as wetter monsoon forests in the northern reaches of its distribution. it is often associated with brigalow (''Acacia harpophylla''). The timber is valued for wood turning. References * http://www.ttit.id.au/treepages/StiffDenhamia.htm Denhamia, olea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Denhamia Fasciculiflora
''Denhamia fasciculiflora'', commonly known as orange bark, is a plant in the family Celastraceae found only in Queensland, Australia. Description It is a shrub or small tree up to tall. The leaves are broadly elliptic and often arranged in pseudowhorls. They measure up to long and wide and have bluntly toothed edges. Flowers arise from the twigs or in short fascicles, and are very small with four or five long petals. The fruit is an almost spherical capsule about diameter, containing one or two aril-covered seeds. Taxonomy The plant was first described in 1984 by Australian botanist Laurence W. Jessup as ''Maytenus fasciculiflora'', and published in an appendix to volume 22 of the book series ''Flora of Australia''. In 2011, American botanist Mark P. Simmons published a paper in which the Australian species of ''Maytenus'' were transferred to ''Denhamia'', giving this plant its current binomial name. Distribution and habitat The species is found in northeastern Qu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Denhamia Silvestris
''Denhamia silvestris'' is a shrub or small tree growing from Picton, New South Wales (34° S) to Kroombit Tops, near Gladstone, Queensland (23° S). It occurs in dry rainforest, eucalyptus and rainforest ecotone areas. Common names include narrow leaved orangebark, orange bush and orange bark. Description Commonly seen as a densely dark green shrub two metres tall, though it can occasionally attain heights of with a trunk diameter of . The trunk is crooked and misshapen but without buttresses. Outer bark is greyish brown or grey, fairly smooth but with lenticels. The other part of live bark is green, brown and reddish. The exposed bark gives the common name "orange bark". Leaves are long, wide, narrow lanceolate to ovate in shape. Leaf edges are curved over, sometimes with toothed edges, other times entire. The leaf tip is sometimes curved. The leaf base slowly tapers away with a thin beginning of the leaf. Leaf stalks are long. Leaf venation is evident on both sides, w ...
