Leptosema Aculeatum
''Leptosema aculeatum'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to inland areas of Western Australia. It is a shrub with a tuft of stems up to tall, many rigid, strongly flattened and spiny branchlets, leaves reduced to scales, red flowers, and beaked pods densely covered with silky hairs. Description ''Leptosema aculeatum'' is a shrub with a tuft of stems up to tall, its branchlets strongly compressed or flattened and spiny. Its leaves are reduced to awl-shaped scales, long. The flowers are red, resupinate, and borne in rose-shaped, loosely arranged clusters spreading along the soil surface on a rhachis up to long with egg-shaped bracts about long. The sepals are long and form a tube about long. The standard petal is enclosed in the sepals, the wings are linear, long and wide with the keel protruding and long. The ovary is more or less sessile, densely covered with silky hairs with about 60 ovules. The pods are sessile, elliptic, beak ...

Michael Crisp
Michael Douglas Crisp (born 1950) is an emeritus professor in the Research School of Biology at the Australian National University located in Canberra. In 1976, he gained a PhD from the University of Adelaide, studying long-term vegetation changes in arid zones of South Australia. In 2020, Crisp moved to Brisbane, where he has an honorary position at the University of Queensland. Together with colleagues, he revised various pea-flowered legume genera (''Daviesia'', ''Gastrolobium'', ''Gompholobium'', ''Pultenaea'' and Jacksonia (plant), ''Jacksonia''). He has made considerable contributions to biogeography, Phylogenetic tree, phylogeny and plant evolution.

Leptosema
''Leptosema'' is a genus of thirteen species of flowering plants from the legume family Fabaceae, all endemic to Australia. They are shrubs with photosynthetic stems, the leaves reduced to scales, mostly red or green flowers arranged singly or in small groups, each with a reduced standard petal and usually ten stamens. Description Plants in the genus ''Leptosema'' are low shrubs, with flattened to terete, sometimes spiny, hairy branchlets. The stems are photosynthetic, the adult leaves reduced to scales. The flowers are arranged singly in the axils of upper scale-leaves, or in elongated racemes or in small panicles, sometimes in small racemes along the branchlets. The flowers are shades of red or green, but not pea-like, because the standard is equal to or shorter than the other petals and the keel is usually larger and more conspicuous than the other petals. There are usually ten stamens, roughly equal in length and free from each other. The ovary has up to 60 or more ovules a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Flora Of Western Australia
The flora of Western Australia comprises 10,842 published native vascular plant species and a further 1,030 unpublished species. They occur within 1,543 genus, genera from 211 Family (biology), families; there are also 1,335 naturalised alien or invasive plant species more commonly known as weeds. There are an estimated 150,000 cryptogam species or nonvascular plants which include lichens, and fungi although only 1,786 species have been published, with 948 algae and 672 lichen the majority. History Indigenous Australians have a long history with the flora of Western Australia. They have for over 50,000 years obtained detailed information on most plants. The information includes its uses as sources for food, shelter, tools and medicine. As Indigenous Australians passed the knowledge along orally or by example, most of this information has been lost, along many of the names they gave the flora. It was not until Europeans started to explore Western Australia that systematic written de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fabales Of Australia
Fabales is an order of flowering plants included in the rosid group of the eudicots in the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group II classification system. In the APG II circumscription, this order includes the families Fabaceae or legumes (including the subfamilies Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoideae, and Faboideae), Quillajaceae, Polygalaceae or milkworts (including the families Diclidantheraceae, Moutabeaceae, and Xanthophyllaceae), and Surianaceae. Under the Cronquist system and some other plant classification systems, the order Fabales contains only the family Fabaceae. In the classification system of Dahlgren the Fabales were in the superorder Fabiflorae (also called Fabanae) with three families corresponding to the subfamilies of Fabaceae in APG II. The other families treated in the Fabales by the APG II classification were placed in separate orders by Cronquist, the Polygalaceae within its own order, the Polygalales, and the Quillajaceae and Surianaceae within the Rosales. ...

Department Of Biodiversity, Conservation And Attractions
The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) is the Government of Western Australia, Western Australian government department responsible for managing lands and waters described in the ''Conservation and Land Management Act 1984'', the ''Rottnest Island Authority Act 1987'', the ''Swan and Canning Rivers Management Act 2006'', the ''Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority Act 1998'', and the ''Zoological Parks Authority Act 2001'', and implementing the state's conservation and environment legislation and regulations. The Department reports to the Minister for Environment and the Minister for Tourism. DBCA was formed on 1 July 2017 by the merger of the Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPaW), the Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority, the Zoological Parks Authority and the Rottnest Island Authority. The former DPaW became the Parks and Wildlife Service. Status Parks and Wildlife Service The Formerly Department of Parks and Wildlife. the Parks and Wildlife Servi ...
