Persea
''Persea'' is a genus of about 111 species of evergreen trees belonging to the laurel family, Lauraceae. The best-known member of the genus is the avocado, ''P. americana'', widely cultivated in subtropical regions for its large, edible fruit. Overview They are medium-size trees, tall at maturity. The leaf, leaves are simple, lanceolate to broad lanceolate, varying with species from long and broad, and arranged spirally or alternately on the stems. The flowers are in short panicles, with six small greenish-yellow perianth segments long, nine stamens and an ovary with a single embryo.

Persea Indica
''Persea indica'' is a large, evergreen tree in the laurel family (Lauraceae), native to humid uplands on Madeira and the Canary Islands in the North Atlantic. It belongs to the genus '' Persea'', a group of evergreen trees including the avocado. It is threatened by habitat loss. It has been introduced to a number of islands in the nearby Azores. Overview Fossil evidence indicates that genus '' Persea'' originated in West Africa during the Paleocene, and spread to Asia, South America, Europe and North America. It is thought that the gradual drying of Africa, west Asia, and the Mediterranean from the Oligocene to the Pleistocene, and the glaciation of Europe during the Pleistocene, caused the extinction of the genus across these regions, resulting in the present distribution. Genus '' Persea'' disappeared from increasingly xerophytic Africa, starting with the formation of the Benguela Current. It is extinct in Africa, save for ''P. indica'', which survives in the cloud forests ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
