Bauhinia
''Bauhinia'' () is a large genus of flowering plants in the subfamily Cercidoideae and tribe Bauhinieae, in the large flowering plant family Fabaceae, with a pantropical distribution. The genus was named after the Bauhin brothers Gaspard and Johann, Swiss-French botanists. Many species are widely planted in the tropics as orchid trees, particularly in India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Nepal and southeastern China. Other common names include mountain ebony and ''kachnar''. Before the family was reorganised, a number of genera including the lianas '' Lasiobema'' and '' Phanera'' were placed here (see related genera). In the United States, the trees grow in Hawaii, coastal California, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. There are native species, like ''Bauhinia lunarioides'' native to Texas and widely planted in the Southwest as a landscape plant. ''Bauhinia'' × ''blakeana'' is the floral emblem of Hong Kong—a stylized orchid tree flower appears on the flag of Hong Kong and ...

Cercidoideae
Cercidoideae is a subfamily in the pea family, Fabaceae. Well-known members include ''Cercis'' (redbuds), including species widely cultivated as ornamental trees in the United States and Europe, ''Bauhinia'', widely cultivated as an ornamental tree in tropical Asia, and ''Tylosema'' , a semi-woody genus of Africa. The subfamily occupies a basal position within the Fabaceae and is supported as monophyletic in many molecular phylogenies. At the 6th International Legume Conference, the Legume Phylogeny Working Group proposed elevating the tribe Cercidae to the level of subfamily within the Leguminosae (Fabaceae). The consensus agreed to the change, which was fully implemented in 2017. It has the following clade-based definition: The most inclusive crown clade containing '' Cercis canadensis'' L. and ''Bauhinia divaricata'' L. but not '' Poeppigia procera'' C.Presl, '' Duparquetia orchidacea'' Baill., or '' Bobgunnia fistuloides'' (Harms) J.H.Kirkbr. & Wiersema.

Phanera
''Phanera'' is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Cercidoideae. This genus differs from '' Bauhinia'' in being vines or lianas, generally with tendrils and a lobed rather than spathaceous calyx, and from '' Schnella'' in having only three fertile stamens rather than ten, and being native to the Indomalayan realm and the Australasian realm rather than the Americas. The subsection ''Corymbosae'' was recently segregated into a new genus, '' Cheniella''. It has been suggested that the genus '' Lasiobema'' should be reduced to a section within ''Phanera''. Species ''Phanera'' comprises the following species: # '' Phanera aherniana'' (Perkins) de Wit ## var. ''aherniana'' (Perkins) de Wit ## var. ''subglabra'' (Merr.) Bandyop., P.P. Goshal & M.K. Pathak # '' Phanera andersonii'' (K. Larsen & S.S. Larsen) Bandyop., P.P. Goshal & M.K. Pathak # '' Phanera argentea'' de Wit # '' Phanera audax'' de Wit # '' Phanera aurea'' (H. Lé ...

Bauhinia Lunarioides
''Bauhinia lunarioides'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, native to Southwestern Texas in the United States and Northern Mexico. Common names include Texasplume, Anacacho orchid tree, and pata de vaca. It is a small deciduous tree growing to 4 m tall. The leaves are 2–5 cm long and broad, rounded, and bilobed at the base and apex. The flowers are small, white or (rarely) pink, with five petals. The fruit In botany, a fruit is the seed-bearing structure in flowering plants that is formed from the ovary after flowering. Fruits are the means by which flowering plants (also known as angiosperms) disseminate their seeds. Edible fruits in particu ... is a pod. Though limited in range in the wild, it has become increasingly available in nurseries.

Lasiobema
''Lasiobema'' is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae, most of which are lianas. It belongs to the subfamily Cercidoideae. It was recently synonymized with '' Phanera'' on the basis of morphology, but this move has been questioned. Species ''Lasiobema'' comprises the following species (several previously placed in ''Bauhinia''): * ''Lasiobema championii'' (Benth.) De Wit * ''Lasiobema comosa'' (W. G. Craib) A.

Liana
A liana is a long- stemmed, woody vine that is rooted in the soil at ground level and uses trees, as well as other means of vertical support, to climb up to the canopy in search of direct sunlight. The word ''liana'' does not refer to a taxonomic grouping, but rather a habit of plant growth – much like '' tree'' or '' shrub''. It comes from standard French ''liane'', itself from an Antilles French dialect word meaning to sheave. Ecology Lianas are characteristic of tropical moist broadleaf forests (especially seasonal forests), but may be found in temperate rainforests and temperate deciduous forests. There are also temperate lianas, for example the members of the '' Clematis'' or '' Vitis'' (wild grape) genera. Lianas can form bridges amidst the forest canopy, providing arboreal animals with paths across the forest. These bridges can protect weaker trees from strong winds. Lianas compete with forest trees for sunlight, water and nutrients from the soil. Forests wi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gaspard Bauhin
Gaspard Bauhin or Caspar Bauhin ( la, Casparus Bauhinus; 17 January 1560 – 5 December 1624), was a Swiss botanist whose ''Pinax theatri botanici'' (1623) described thousands of plants and classified them in a manner that draws comparisons to the later binomial nomenclature of Linnaeus. He was a disciple of the famous Italian physician Girolamo Mercuriale and he also worked on human anatomical nomenclature. Linnaeus honored the Bauhin brothers Gaspard and Jean in the genus name ''Bauhinia''. Biography Jean and Gaspard were the sons of Jean Bauhin (1511–1582), a French physician who had to leave his native country on becoming a convert to Protestantism. Gaspard was born in Basel. From 1572 he studied in his hometown, Padua, Bologna, Montpellier, Paris and Tübingen. He was awarded his medical doctorate at the University of Basel in 1581, and gave private lectures in botany and anatomy. In 1581 he obtained a doctorate in medicine from the University of Basel and was in 158 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Johann Bauhin
Johann (or Jean) Bauhin (12 December 1541 – 26 October 1613) was a Swiss botanist, born in Basel. He was the son of physician Jean Bauhin and the brother of physician and botanist Gaspard Bauhin. Biography Bauhin studied botany at the University of Tübingen under Leonhart Fuchs (1501–1566). He then travelled with Conrad Gessner, after which he started a practice of medicine at Basel, where he was elected Professor of Rhetoric in 1566. Four years later he was invited to become the physician to Frederick I, Duke of Württemberg at Montbéliard, in the Franche-Comté where he remained until his death. He devoted himself chiefly to botany. His great work, ''Historia plantarum universalis'', a compilation of all that was then known about botany, remained incomplete at his death, but was published at Yverdon in 1650–1651. Bauhin nurtured several botanic gardens and also collected plants during his travels. In 1591, he published a list of plants named after saints called ''De pl ...

Flowering Plant
Flowering plants are plants that bear flowers and fruits, and form the clade Angiospermae (), commonly called angiosperms. The term "angiosperm" is derived from the Greek words ('container, vessel') and ('seed'), and refers to those plants that produce their seeds enclosed within a fruit. They are by far the most diverse group of land plants with 64 orders, 416 families, approximately 13,000 known genera and 300,000 known species. Angiosperms were formerly called Magnoliophyta (). Like gymnosperms, angiosperms are seed-producing plants. They are distinguished from gymnosperms by characteristics including flowers, endosperm within their seeds, and the production of fruits that contain the seeds. The ancestors of flowering plants diverged from the common ancestor of all living gymnosperms before the end of the Carboniferous, over 300 million years ago. The closest fossil relatives of flowering plants are uncertain and contentious. The earliest angiosperm fossils ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
