Austrocallerya Pilipes
''Austrocallerya pilipes'', synonym ''Callerya pilipes'', is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, endemic to Queensland, Australia. It is a robust twining vine, climbing up trees and shrubs. It is known as the northern wistaria.

Its flowers are arranged in a robust many-flowered terminal panicle. ''A. pilipes'' can be distinguished from the other species in the genus by its larger floral bracts, more than long and wide, as opposed to at most wide, which enclose the flower buds before the flower opens. Also, the surface of the seed pod lacks longitudinal ridges or grooves. Taxonomy The species was first described by Frederick Manson Bailey in 1890 as ''Millettia pilipes''. It was placed in the genus ''Callerya'' as ''Callerya pilipes'' by Anne M. Schot in 1994. A 2019 mo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Callerya
''Callerya'' is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae, tribe Wisterieae. It includes 12 species native to the eastern Himalayas, Indochina, southern China and Taiwan, and Peninsular Malaysia. Its species are climbers, generally reaching up to about tall. The genus has a somewhat complicated taxonomic history; its circumscription was substantially revised in 2019. Description Species of ''Callerya'' are scrambling climbers, growing over rocks or shrubs, reaching high. The leaves are evergreen and generally have 2–12 paired leaflets plus a terminal leaflet. The leaflets are usually long, sometimes up to long, by wide, sometimes up to ) wide. The terminal leaflet is distinctly larger than the rest, and the basal pair usually smallest. The erect inflorescence is a terminal panicle (in ''C. bonatiana'' composed of axillary racemes), usually long, but sometimes up to . The individual flowers are long and have the ...

Wisterieae
Wisterieae is a tribe of flowering plants in the bean family Fabaceae. The tribe was first described in 1994 for the sole genus ''Wisteria'', but was greatly expanded in 2019 to include 13 genera, six of which were new. Five had previously been placed in the tribe Millettieae. Members of the tribe are climbers of various kinds. Some, like ''Wisteria'', are cultivated for their flowers. Description Members of the tribe Wisterieae are either woody lianas or sprawling climbing shrubs. All species have their flowers arranged in either true panicles or true racemes (as opposed to pseudopanicles or pseudoracemes). The tribe belongs to the Inverted repeat-lacking clade; all genera lack one 25 kilobase long copy of the inverted repeat in the chloroplast genome, distinguishing them from genera in the tribe Millettieae, which do not lack this inverted repeat. Taxonomy The tribe was established in 1994 by X. Y. Zhu, based on features of ''Wisteria'' pollen. Most older genera that are now ...

Padbruggea
''Padbruggea'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. Its native range stretches from southern China to western Malesia. Description ''Padbruggea'' species are scrambling climbers, reaching heights of up to . Their stems are dark green becoming brown with age. Their leaves are evergreen and generally have 8–18 paired leaflets plus a terminal leaflet. The leaflets are long by wide. The erect inflorescence is a panicle, long, usually terminal, sometimes leafy and sometimes emerging directly from the stem. The individual flowers are long and have the general shape of members of the subfamily Faboideae. The standard petal is long by wide, with a lilac or pinkish inner surface and a yellow nectar guide. The wing petals are about the same length as the keel at long by wide, and have short basal claws. The keel petals are long by wide with a claw up to long. Nine of the stamens are fused together, the other is free; all curve upwards at the apex. The inflate ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Faboideae
The Faboideae are a subfamily of the flowering plant family Fabaceae or Leguminosae. An acceptable alternative name for the subfamily is Papilionoideae, or Papilionaceae when this group of plants is treated as a family. This subfamily is widely distributed, and members are adapted to a wide variety of environments. Faboideae may be trees, shrubs, or herbaceous plants. Members include the pea, the sweet pea, the laburnum, and other legumes. The pea-shaped flowers are characteristic of the Faboideae subfamily and root nodulation is very common. Genera The type genus, ''Faba'', is a synonym of ''Vicia'', and is listed here as ''Vicia''. *'' Abrus'' *'' Acmispon'' *'' Acosmium'' *'' Adenocarpus'' *'' Adenodolichos'' *'' Adesmia'' *'' Aenictophyton'' *'' Aeschynomene'' *'' Afgekia'' *'' Aganope'' *'' Airyantha'' *'' Aldina'' *'' Alexa'' *'' Alhagi'' *'' Alistilus'' *'' Almaleea'' *'' Alysicarpus'' *'' Amburana'' *'' Amicia'' *'' Ammodendron'' *'' Ammopiptanthus'' *'' Ammot ...

Millettia
''Millettia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It consists of about 169 species of shrubs, lianas or trees, which are native to tropical and subtropical regions of sub-Saharan Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Indochina, southern China, Malesia, and New Guinea.

Plants Of The World Online
Plants of the World Online (POWO) is an online taxonomic database published by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. History Following the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew launched Plants of the World Online in March 2017 with the goal of creating an exhaustive online database of all seed-bearing plants worldwide. (Govaerts wrongly speaks of "Convention for Botanical Diversity (CBD)). The initial focus was on tropical African flora, particularly flora ''Zambesiaca'', flora of West and East Tropical Africa. Since March 2024, the website has displayed AI-generated predictions of the extinction risk for each plant. Description The database uses the same taxonomical source as the International Plant Names Index, which is the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP). The database contains information on the world's flora gathered from 250 years of botanical research. It aims to make available data from projects that no longer have an online ...
