Simaba Pubicarpa
''Simaba'' is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Simaroubaceae. Its native range stretches from southern tropical America and Trinidad, across to western tropical Africa to Angola then across to western Malesia. It was first published by French botanist Jean Baptiste Christophore Fusée Aublet (1720–1778), in Hist. Pl. Guiane on page 409 in 1775. Hans Peter Nooteboom (1934–2022) in 1962 (published in 1963), took a very broad view of the genus ''Quassia'' and included therein various genera including, ''Hannoa'' , '' Odyendyea'' , ''Pierreodendron'' , ''Samadera'' , ''Simaba'' and ''Simarouba'' In 2007, molecular analyses of the Simaroubaceae family (Clayton et al., 2007), suggested the splitting up of genera ''Quassia'' again, with all Nooteboom's synonyms listed above being resurrected as independent genera. Species As accepted by Plants of the World Online; *''Simaba africana'' *''Simaba borneensis'' *''Simaba guianensis'' *'' Simaba monophylla'' ...

Jean Baptiste Christophore Fusée Aublet
Jean Baptiste Christophore Fusée Aublet (November 4, 1720 – May 6, 1778) was a French pharmacist, botanist and one of the earliest botanical explorers in South America.JSTOR He was one of the first botanists to study ethnobotany in the Neotropics. Born in Salon-de-Provence, Aublet left home early and traveled to Grenada, then a French colony, where he became an apothecary's assistant and learned about medicinal plants. A year later he returned to France and continued his studies in natural history, chemistry, and pharmacology. One of his mentors was Bernard de Jussieu, a French naturalist who would later help him with plant identification.Mori He joined the French Indies Company, French East India Company and in 1752 was sent to Mauritius (then known as ''l'Île de France'') to establish a pharmacy and a botanical garden. He became involved in an intense rivalry with Pierre Poivre, a fellow botanist at the Chateau de Mon Plaisir , Mon Plaisir garden, and eventually left to ...

Simaba Borneensis
''Simaba borneensis'' is a plant in the family Simaroubaceae. It is native to Borneo and Sumatra. Description ''Simaba borneensis'' grows as a tree up to tall with a trunk diameter of , with buttresses. The leaves are oblong or obovate to elliptic and measure up to long and up to wide. The are . The ellispoid fruits are purplish-red and measure up to in diameter. Taxonomy ''Simaba borneensis'' was first described as ''Quassia borneensis'' in 1963 by the Dutch botanist Hans Peter Nooteboom in ''Flora Malesiana''. In 1983, the French botanist Christian Patrice Georges-André Feuillet transferred the species to the genus ''Simaba''. The type specimen was collected in Sabah in Borneo. The specific epithet ''borneensis'' refers to Borneo. Distribution and habitat ''Simaba borneensis'' is native to Sumatra and Borneo, where it is widely found. Its habitat is in lowland primary dipterocarp forests, occasionally in ''kerangas'' forests. Conservation ''Simaba borneensis'' has been ...

Sapindales Genera
Sapindales is an order of flowering plants. Well-known members of Sapindales include citrus; maples, horse-chestnuts, lychees and rambutans; mangos and cashews; frankincense and myrrh; mahogany and neem. The APG III system of 2009 includes it in the clade malvids (in rosids, in eudicots) with the following nine families: *Anacardiaceae * Biebersteiniaceae *Burseraceae * Kirkiaceae *Meliaceae * Nitrariaceae (including Peganaceae and Tetradiclidaceae) *Rutaceae *Sapindaceae *Simaroubaceae The APG II system of 2003 allowed the optional segregation of families now included in the Nitrariaceae. In the classification system of Dahlgren the Rutaceae were placed in the order Rutales, in the superorder Rutiflorae (also called Rutanae). The Cronquist system of 1981 used a somewhat different circumscription, including the following families: *Staphyleaceae * Melianthaceae * Bretschneideraceae * Akaniaceae *Sapindaceae *Hippocastanaceae * Aceraceae *Burseraceae *Anacardiaceae *Juli ...

Cabinda Province
Cabinda (formerly called Portuguese Congo, ) is an exclave and province of Angola, a status that has been disputed by several political organizations in the territory. The capital city is also called Cabinda, known locally as ''Tchiowa'', ''Tsiowa'' or ''Kiowa''. The province is divided into four municipalities—Belize, Buco-Zau, Cabinda and Cacongo. Modern Cabinda is the result of a fusion of three kingdoms: N'Goyo, Loango and Kakongo. It has an area of and a population of 716,076 at the 2014 census; the latest official estimate (as at mid-2019) is 824,143. According to 1988 United States government statistics, the total population of the province was 147,200, with a near even split between rural and urban populations. At one point an estimated one third of Cabindans were refugees living in the Democratic Republic of the Congo; however, after the 2007 peace agreement, refugees started returning to their homes. Cabinda is separated from the rest of Angola by a narrow st ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Native Species
In biogeography, a native species is indigenous to a given region or ecosystem if its presence in that region is the result of only local natural evolution (though often popularised as "with no human intervention") during history. The term is equivalent to the concept of indigenous or autochthonous species. A wild organism (as opposed to a domestication, domesticated organism) is known as an introduced species within the regions where it was Human impact on the environment#anthropogenic, anthropogenically introduced. If an introduced species causes substantial ecological, environmental, and/or economic damage, it may be regarded more specifically as an invasive species. A native species in a location is not necessarily also endemism, endemic to that location. Endemic species are ''exclusively'' found in a particular place. A native species may occur in areas other than the one under consideration. The terms endemic and native also do not imply that an organism necessarily first o ...
