Brucea Javanica
''Brucea javanica'', commonly known as the Macassar kernels, is a plant in the family Simaroubaceae. The specific epithet ' is from Latin, meaning "of Java". Other common names in English include Java brucea and kosam. Description ''Brucea javanica'' grows as a shrub or small tree to tall. The tiny flowers (1.5–2 mm in diameter) are greenish white to greenish red or purple and occur in panicles. There are separate male and female flowers on each plant, making it a monoecious species. The anthers are typically red. In the northern hemisphere it flowers in June and July and sets fruit in July and August, in Australia it flowers from October to February and fruits from February to July. The fruit, which are drupes, measure up to long. When ripe they are a black-gray color and they become wrinkled when dry. The seed is whitish yellow and covered with an oily membrane. It has compound leaves with typically 7–9 (but range from 3–15) ovate to ovate-lanceolate leaflets with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Brucea Macrocarpa
''Brucea macrocarpa'' is a species of plant in the Simaroubaceae family. It is endemic to Kenya, and is being threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss or habitat reduction) occurs when a natural habitat is no longer able to support its native species. The organisms once living there have either moved elsewhere, or are dead, leading to a decrease ....

Simaroubaceae
The Simaroubaceae, also known as the quassia family, are a small, mostly tropical, family in the order Sapindales. In recent decades, it has been subject to much taxonomic debate, with several small families being split off. A molecular phylogeny of the family was published in 2007, greatly clarifying relationships within the family. Together with chemical characteristics such as the occurrence of petroselinic acid in ''Picrasma'', in contrast to other members of the family such as ''Ailanthus'', this indicates the existence of a subgroup in the family with ''Picrasma'', ''Holacantha'', and '' Castela''. The best-known species is the temperate Chinese tree-of-heaven ''Ailanthus altissima'', which has become a cosmopolitan weed tree of urban areas and wildlands. Well-known genera in the family include the tropical ''Quassia'' and '' Simarouba''. It is known in English by the common names of the quassia family or ailanthus family. Genera 20 genera are accepted: *''Ailanthu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 ...
