Agrimonia
''Agrimonia'' (from the Greek ), commonly known as agrimony, is a genus of 12–15 species of perennial herbaceous flowering plants in the family Rosaceae, native to the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with one species also in Africa. The species grow to between tall, with interrupted pinnate leaves, and tiny yellow flowers borne on a single (usually unbranched) spike. ''Agrimonia'' species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including grizzled skipper (recorded on ''A. eupatoria'') and large grizzled skipper.

Hagenia
''Hagenia'' is a monotypic genus of flowering plant with the sole species ''Hagenia abyssinica'', native to the high-elevation Afromontane regions of central and eastern Africa. It also has a disjunct distribution in the high mountains of East Africa from Sudan and Ethiopia in the north, through Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Tanzania, to Malawi and Zambia in the south. A member of the rose family, its closest relative is the Afromontane genus '' Leucosidea''. Nomenclature It is known in English as African redwood, East African rosewood, brayera, cusso, hagenia, or kousso, in Amharic as ''kosso'', and in Swahili as ''mdobore'' or ''mlozilozi''. Synonyms of the species include ''Banksia abyssinica'', ''Brayera anthelmintica'', ''Hagenia abyssinica'' var. ''viridifolia'' and ''Hagenia anthelmintica''. Description It is a tree up to 20 m in height, with a short trunk, thick branches, and thick, peeling bark. The leaves are up to 40 c ...

Leucosidea
''Leucosidea sericea'', commonly known as oldwood, is an evergreen tree or large shrub that grows in the highland regions of southern Africa. It is the sole species in the monotypic genus ''Leucosidea''. The name oldwood may reflect the fact that the wood burns slowly, as if old and rotting; the gnarled, twisted trunks reinforce this impression.K.C. Palgrave's (1977), Trees of South Africa Taxonomy ''Leucosidea sericea'' is a member of the Rosaceae, also known as the rose family. Although this family is very large and economically important worldwide, it is poorly represented in Africa generally and in southern Africa in particular. The genus name ''Leucosidea'' is a form of the Greek word ''λευκός'' (''leukos''), meaning "shining white", although in botany the root is more often used less specifically to indicate something of a generally white or gray appearance. The second or specific name ''sericea'' means "silky" and comes from ''σηρικός'' (), which means both "s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Spenceria
''Spenceria ramalana'' is the lone species in the plant genus ''Spenceria'', known by two varieties. ''S. ramalana'' grows from 18–32 cm. tall, and puts out yellow flowers from July through August; bearing fruit (yellowish-brown achenes) from September to October. The Chinese name, ''ma ti huang'' ��蹄黄 can be translated to mean "yellow horseshoe". Etymology Henry Trimen, both the genus, and binomial authority of ''Spenceria'', and ''S. ramalana'', respectively, gave an explanation of how he arrived at these names: the genus name was given in honor of Trimen's friend, and fellow botanist, Spencer Moore, who was employed at Kew Herbarium. Trimen thought about choosing a name commemorating the collector of the species, one Captain Gill, R.E., but decided against it, as there already was a genus ''Gilia'' (Polemoniaceae), and he wished to avoid, in his words, "the formation of another of precisely similar sound." As the species was collected from a mountain na ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Agrimonia Eupatoria
''Agrimonia eupatoria'' is a species of agrimony that is often referred to as common agrimony, church steeples or sticklewort. The whole plant is dark green with numerous soft hairs. The soft hairs aid in the plant's seed pods sticking to any animal or person coming in contact with the plant. The flower spikes have a spicy odor like apricots. In the language of flowers, agrimony means thankfulness or gratitude. ''A. eupatoria'' is a foodplant for the caterpillars of the snout moth '' Endotricha flammealis''. Description Vegetative characteristics The common agrimony grows as a deciduous, perennial herbaceous plant and reached heights of up to . Its roots are deep rhizomes, from which spring the stems. It is characterized by its typical serrated edged pinnate leaves. Generative characteristics The short-stemmed flowers appear from June to September, in long, spike-like, racemose inflorescences. The single flower has an urn-shaped curved flower cup, the upper edge has ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jan Svatopluk Presl
Jan Svatopluk Presl (4 September 1791 – 6 April 1849) was a Czech natural scientist. He was the brother of botanist Carl Borivoj Presl (1794–1852). The Czech Botanical Society commemorated the two brothers by naming its principal publication ''Preslia'' (founded in 1914). He is the author of Czech scientific terminology of various branches of science, including the Czech chemical nomenclature. He was the co-author of an important Czech taxonomic work, ''O Přirozenosti Rostlin ''O Přirozenosti Rostlin'' (''On the Nature of Plants'') is a Czech botanical text written by Friedrich von Berchtold and Jan Svatopluk Presl Jan Svatopluk Presl (4 September 1791 – 6 April 1849) was a Czech natural scientist.

Rosaceae
Rosaceae (), the rose family, is a medium-sized family of flowering plants that includes 4,828 known species in 91 genera. The name is derived from the type genus ''Rosa''. Among the most species-rich genera are '' Alchemilla'' (270), '' Sorbus'' (260), '' Crataegus'' (260), '' Cotoneaster'' (260), '' Rubus'' (250), and '' Prunus'' (200), which contains the plums, cherries, peaches, apricots, and almonds. However, all of these numbers should be seen as estimates—much taxonomic work remains. The family Rosaceae includes herbs, shrubs, and trees. Most species are deciduous, but some are evergreen. They have a worldwide range but are most diverse in the Northern Hemisphere. Many economically important products come from the Rosaceae, including various edible fruits, such as apples, pears, quinces, apricots, plums, cherries, peaches, raspberries, blackberries, loquats, strawberries, rose hips, hawthorns, and almonds. The family also includes popular ornamental trees and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Afromontane
The Afromontane regions are subregions of the Afrotropical realm, one of the Earth's eight biogeographic realms, covering the plant and animal species found in the mountains of Africa and the southern Arabian Peninsula. The Afromontane regions of Africa are discontinuous, separated from each other by lower-lying areas, and are sometimes referred to as the Afromontane archipelago, as their distribution is analogous to a series of sky islands. Geography Afromontane communities occur above elevation near the equator, and as low as elevation in the Knysna-Amatole montane forests of South Africa. Afromontane forests are generally cooler and more humid than the surrounding lowlands. The Afromontane archipelago mostly follows the East African Rift from the Red Sea to Zimbabwe, with the largest areas in the Ethiopian Highlands, the Albertine Rift Mountains of Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Tanzania, and the Eastern Arc highlands of Kenya and Ta ...
