Calothamnus Quadrifidus Subsp. Obtusus
''Calothamnus'' is a genus of shrubs in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic (ecology), endemic to the Southwest Australia, south-west of Western Australia. The common names one-sided bottlebrush or claw flower are given to some species due to their having the flowers clustered on one side of the stem or because of the claw-like appearance of their flowers. ''Calothamnus'' species are generally medium to tall woody shrubs with crowded leaves. In most species the leaves are crowded and linear in shape, and the flowers are usually arranged in dense clusters. The petals are small and fall off the flower soon after it opens but the stamens are long, numerous and usually bright red. Description Plants in the genus ''Calothamnus'' are medium to tall shrubs, sometimes low-growing ground covers. The leaves are linear or narrow lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, usually wikt:glabrous, glabrous and have distinct oil glands. The flowers are in small groups or dense spikes ...

Calothamnus Quadrifidus
''Calothamnus quadrifidus'', commonly known as one-sided bottlebrush, is a plant in the myrtle Family (biology), family, Myrtaceae and is Endemism, endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. The common name alludes to the arrangement of the flowers in the inflorescence which line up on one side of the stem. It is a shrub with grey-green, pine-like foliage covered with soft hairs and red, four-part flowers in spring. Widely cultivated because of its attractive foliage, colourful, unusual and prolific flowers, it grows in a variety of habitats and soils. In 2010, Alex George (botanist), Alex George published a review of the species based on recent research and described a number of new subspecies. (In 2014 Lyndley Craven, Craven, Edwards and Cowley proposed that the species be renamed ''Melaleuca quadrifida''.)

Ancient Greek
Ancient Greek includes the forms of the Greek language used in ancient Greece and the ancient world from around 1500 BC to 300 BC. It is often roughly divided into the following periods: Mycenaean Greek (), Dark Ages (), the Archaic period (), and the Classical period (). Ancient Greek was the language of Homer and of fifth-century Athenian historians, playwrights, and philosophers. It has contributed many words to English vocabulary and has been a standard subject of study in educational institutions of the Western world since the Renaissance. This article primarily contains information about the Epic and Classical periods of the language. From the Hellenistic period (), Ancient Greek was followed by Koine Greek, which is regarded as a separate historical stage, although its earliest form closely resembles Attic Greek and its latest form approaches Medieval Greek. There were several regional dialects of Ancient Greek, of which Attic Greek developed into Koi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Melaleuca
''Melaleuca'' () is a genus of nearly 300 species of plants in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, commonly known as paperbarks, honey-myrtles or tea-trees (although the last name is also applied to species of '' Leptospermum''). They range in size from small shrubs that rarely grow to more than high, to trees up to . Their flowers generally occur in groups, forming a "head" or "spike" resembling a brush used for cleaning bottles, containing up to 80 individual flowers. Melaleucas are an important food source for nectarivorous insects, birds, and mammals. Many are popular garden plants, either for their attractive flowers or as dense screens and a few have economic value for producing fencing and oils such as "tea tree" oil. Most melaleucas are endemic to Australia, with a few also occurring in Malesia. Seven are endemic to New Caledonia, and one is found only on (Australia's) Lord Howe Island. Melaleucas are found in a wide variety of habitats. Many are adapted for life in swa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Regelia
''Regelia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. The genus is composed of five species of small leaved, evergreen shrubs which have heads of flowers on the ends of branches which continue to grow after flowering. Another species, previously known as ''Regelia punicea'' and which is endemic to Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory, has been transferred to '' Melaleuca punicea''.

Phymatocarpus
''Phymatocarpus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. All three species are shrubs with pink to purple flowers. Description Plants in the genus ''Phymatocarpus'' are shrubs which grow to a height of . Their leaves are small and are dotted with oil glands. The flowers are arranged in almost spherical heads on the ends of the branches and have 5 oval sepals, 5 petals and up to 75 stamens. The stamens are in a ring around the hypanthium, but above the ring are joined in 5 bundles. The stamens are all longer than the petals and give the flowers their pink to purple colour.

Petraeomyrtus
''Melaleuca punicea'' is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, and is endemic to the Northern Territory in Australia. Some of the characteristics of this species make it difficult to classify at the genus level. After it was originally described in 1984 as ''Melaleuca punicea'', it was transferred in 1986 to the genus ''Regelia'' (as ''Regelia punicea'') but it did not fit well in that genus either. In 1999 it was transferred again to a new genus ''Petraeomyrtus'' as ''P. punicea''. Subsequent molecular studies, especially of chloroplast DNA have suggested that it is best placed in ''Melaleuca'' along with others from genera including '' Beaufortia'', ''Callistemon'' and ''Regelia''. Later publications include this species as ''Melaleuca punicea''. Description ''Melaleuca punicea'' is a spreading shrub growing to about tall. Its leaves are long and wide, with no apparent stalk, narrow triangular in shape, and almost crescent shape in cross section. The flowers are bright ...

Eremaea (plant)
''Eremaea '' is a genus of woody shrubs and small trees in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. Little study of the genus as a whole had been undertaken until Roger Hnatiuk researched ''Eremaea'' and published a paper in 1993, ''A revision of the genus Eremaea (Myrtaceae)'' in Nuytsia. The first species to be described was '' Eremaea pauciflora'' (as ''Metrosideros pauciflora'') in 1837 and by 1964, the number of species known had increased to 12. Hnatiuk recognised 16 species, 5 subspecies and a number of varieties. Description Plants in the genus ''Eremaea'' are shrubs or small trees with small leaves that are arranged alternately on the stem and are dotted with oil glands. The flowers have both male and female parts and are solitary or in clusters of two or three on the ends of the branches. There are 5 sepals, and 5 petals which fall off as the flower matures. There are many stamens, all longer than the petals and usually arranged ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
