They were brought to Great Britain, Britain from Asia, and their cultivation has been documented in Andalusia, southern Spain.

The 21 species in the genus range across the north temperate Old World from southeast Europe east to Japan, and more widely in the New World from southeast Canada west to California and south to Argentina. Edible walnuts, which are consumed worldwide, are usually harvested from cultivated varieties of the species ''Juglans regia''. China produces half of the world total of walnuts. Etymology The common name ''walnut'' derives from Old English language, Old English ''wealhhnutu'', literally 'foreign nut' (from ''wealh'' 'foreign' + ''hnutu'' 'nut'), because ...

Roesleria Hypogaea
''Sclerophora pallida'' is a crustose lichen species in the family Coniocybaceae. First described by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon in 1794, it has undergone numerous taxonomic revisions before receiving its current scientific name in 1999. The species is characterised by its bark-immersed thallus and distinctive stalked, pin-like fruiting bodies that grow to 0.4–0.7 mm tall with pale yellow stalks that turn grey with age. These structures produce a (powdery spore mass) containing spherical, warty measuring 7–8 micrometres in diameter. Though considered the most common member of its genus, ''S. pallida'' remains rare and is listed as threatened throughout much of its range. It primarily grows on the bark of old deciduous trees, particularly elm, ash and oak, and is widely distributed across Europe, with occurrences also documented in Siberia, North America and Japan. Taxonomy ''Sclerophora pallida'' is a lichen-forming fungus with a complex taxonomic history involv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
