Synonym (taxonomy)
The Botanical and Zoological Codes of nomenclature treat the concept of synonymy differently. * In botanical nomenclature, a synonym is a scientific name that applies to a taxon that (now) goes by a different scientific name. For example, Linnaeus was the first to give a scientific name (under the currently used system of scientific nomenclature) to the Norway spruce, which he called ''Pinus abies''. This name is no longer in use, so it is now a synonym of the current scientific name, '' Picea abies''. * In zoology, moving a species from one genus to another results in a different binomen, but the name is considered an alternative combination rather than a synonym. The concept of synonymy in zoology is reserved for two names at the same rank that refers to a taxon at that rank - for example, the name ''Papilio prorsa'' Linnaeus, 1758 is a junior synonym of ''Papilio levana'' Linnaeus, 1758, being names for different seasonal forms of the species now referred to as ''Araschnia l ...

Lamiaceae
The Lamiaceae ( ) or Labiatae are a family of flowering plants commonly known as the mint, deadnettle or sage family. Many of the plants are aromatic in all parts and include widely used culinary herbs like basil, mint, rosemary, sage, savory, marjoram, oregano, hyssop, thyme, lavender, and perilla, as well as other medicinal herbs such as catnip, salvia, bee balm, wild dagga, and oriental motherwort. Some species are shrubs, trees (such as teak), or, rarely, vines. Many members of the family are widely cultivated, not only for their aromatic qualities, but also their ease of cultivation, since they are readily propagated by stem cuttings. Besides those grown for their edible leaves, some are grown for decorative foliage. Others are grown for seed, such as '' Salvia hispanica'' (chia), or for their edible tubers, such as '' Plectranthus edulis'', '' Plectranthus esculentus'', ''Plectranthus rotundifolius'', and ''Stachys affinis'' (Chinese artichoke). Many are al ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Environment Protection And Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999
The ''Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999'' (Cth) is an Act of the Parliament of Australia that provides a framework for protection of the Australian environment, including its biodiversity and its natural and culturally significant places. Enacted on 17 July 2000, it established a range of processes to help protect and promote the recovery of threatened species and ecological communities, and preserve significant places from decline. The Act is administered by the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment. Lists of threatened species are drawn up under the Act, and these lists, the primary reference to threatened species in Australia, are available online through the Species Profile and Threats Database (SPRAT). As an Act of the Australian Parliament, it relies for its constitutional validity upon the legislative powers of the Parliament granted by the Australian Constitution, and key provisions of the Act are largely based on a num ...

Oxley Creek
The Oxley Creek ( Yagara: ''Benarrawa'') is a creek that is a tributary of the Brisbane River, located in suburban Brisbane in the South East region of Queensland, Australia. Rising in the low hills in Scenic Rim Region, water from the large catchment area flows into Oxley Creek as it flows through the western parts of Logan City and into Brisbane. At , the Oxley Creek is Brisbane's longest creek and the only sand-based one in the city. Course and features The headwaters of Oxley Creek begin on the northern slopes of Mount Perry, south of , in the Scenic Rim Region. From here, the creek flows northwards about , eventually discharging into the Brisbane River at . Tributaries of Oxley Creek include Crewes Creek, Blunder Creek, Sheep Station Gully, Stable Swamp Creek, Rocky Water Holes Creek, Little Doris Creek and Moolabin Creek. Oxley Creek's upper catchment is sparsely populated and largely natural, with forested hills and grazing land. However, in other parts of the ...

Woogaroo Forest
Woogaroo Forest (also known as Woogaroo Scrub or Goodna Scrub) is an area of forest covered land in eastern Ipswich, Queensland, Australia. Woogaroo Forest currently covers over 450 hectares. Although not officially designated as protected bushland, it has been known locally for many years. Written references to Goodna Scrub date back to the early 1890s, when it was a popular destination for early European settlers, botanists and naturalists due to its diverse wildlife. Woogaroo Forest is located within Six Mile, Woogaroo and Goodna Creeks sub-catchment of the highly urbanised Lower Brisbane River Catchment. Fauna A large variety of native Australian animals rely on Woogaroo Forest for habitat. Several species which are listed as 'threatened' in Queensland have been recorded in the area. Of note, this includes koalas, powerful owls, and brush-tailed phascogales. Sugar gliders, platypus, kangaroos, wallabies, and echidnas have also been recorded there. Flora A wide range of ...

White Rock Conservation Park
White Rock, a prominent pale-coloured rockface on a peak, is the major feature of interest of the White Rock Conservation Park, situated within the White Rock, Queensland (Ipswich) locality, Australia. It is also known as "Nugum" to the traditional owners, the Ugarapul, Ugarapul People. White Rock is a white sandstone outcrop and one of many on the ridge. The rock has views in all directions although there are small trees on top. The rock is quite soft and is covered with graffiti, from as early as 1919. The area was used as a training area by American forces in the late 1930s and 1940s. This protected the area from logging with munitions lodged in trees creating risk for timber cutters. Walking tracks The tracks in White Rock Conservation Park are a mixture of well-maintained near the carpark and unmaintained elsewhere. White Rock Walking Track This out-and-back track leads from the car park at Paperbark Flats Picnic Area located at the end of School Road to White Rock itse ...

Coleus
''Coleus'' is a genus of annual or perennial herbs or shrubs, sometimes succulent, sometimes with a fleshy or tuberous rootstock, found in the Old World tropics and subtropics. The relationship among the genera ''Coleus'', '' Solenostemon'' and '' Plectranthus'' has been confused. ''Coleus'' and ''Solenostemon'' were sunk into ''Plectranthus'', but recent phylogenetic analysis found ''Plectranthus'' to be paraphyletic with respect to other related genera in the subtribe Plectranthinae. The most recent taxonomic treatment of the genus resurrected ''Coleus'', and 212 names were changed from combinations in ''Plectranthus'', ''Pycnostachys'' and ''Anisochilus''. ''Equilabium'' was segregated from ''Plectranthus'', after phylogenetic studies supported its recognition as a phylogenetically distinct genus. ''Coleus'' are cultivated as ornamental plants, particularly '' Coleus scutellarioides'' (syns. ''Coleus blumei'', ''Plectranthus scutellarioides''), which is popular as a garden ...
