Leaf Shape
The following is a list of terms which are used to describe leaf morphology in the description and taxonomy of plants. Leaves may be simple (a single leaf blade or lamina) or compound (with several leaflets). The edge of the leaf may be regular or irregular, may be smooth or bearing hair, bristles or spines. For more terms describing other aspects of leaves besides their overall morphology see the leaf article. The terms listed here all are supported by technical and professional usage, but they cannot be represented as mandatory or undebatable; readers must use their judgement. Authors often use terms arbitrarily, or coin them to taste, possibly in ignorance of established terms, and it is not always clear whether because of ignorance, or personal preference, or because usages change with time or context, or because of variation between specimens, even specimens from the same plant. For example, whether to call leaves on the same tree "acuminate", "lanceolate", or "linear" coul ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cordata (company)
Corona Data Systems, later renamed Cordata, was an American personal computer company. It was one of the earliest IBM PC compatible computer system companies. Manufacturing was primarily done by Daewoo of Korea, which became a major investor in the company and ultimately the owner. History Founded in mid-1981 by Robert Harp, who co-founded Vector Graphic. Along with Harp, the firm was co-founded by Robert Steven Kramarz who at age 31 was employee #1 and General Manager. Daniel R. Carter was named as CEO a year later. By 1984, Corona employed 280 people. In mid-1985 the firm received fresh capital from the Daewoo Group of South Korea who acquired a controlling interest. Corona Data System's first products were 5MB and 10MB external hard drives with interface cards and software to connect them to the Apple II and the IBM PC. The drives were sold under the brand name ''Starfire'' (''Starfire 5'' and ''Starfire 10''). The original Corona PC was later released in 1983. ...

Alnus Cordata
''Alnus cordata'', the Italian alder, is a tree or shrub species belonging to the family Betulaceae, and native to the southern Apennine Mountains (Campania, Basilicata and Calabria, mainly on western mountain sides) and the north-eastern mountains of Corsica. It has been introduced in Sicily, Sardinia, and more recently in Central-Northern Italy, other European countries (France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom) and extra-European countries (Chile, New Zealand), where it has become naturalised. Description It is a medium-sized tree growing up to tall (exceptionally to ), with a trunk up to in diameter. The leaves are deciduous but with a very long season in leaf, from April to December in the Northern Hemisphere; they are alternate, cordate (heart-shaped), rich glossy green, long, with a finely serrated margin. The slender cylindrical male catkins are pendulous, reddish and up to long; pollination is in early spring, before the leaves emerge. The female catkins ...

Houttuynia Cordata
''Houttuynia cordata'', also known as fish mint, fish leaf, rainbow plant, chameleon plant, heart leaf, fish wort, or Chinese lizard tail, is one of two species in the genus '' Houttuynia'' (the other being ''H. emeiensis'').

Its flowers are greenish-yellow and borne on a terminal spike long with four to six large white basal bracts. It normally blooms in the summer. It is considered an invasive plant because of its ability to regrow rhizomes from any segment of its foliage. Cultivation ''Houttuynia cordata'' grows in moist to wet soil or slightly submerged ...

Macleaya Cordata
''Macleaya cordata'', the five-seeded plume-poppy, is a species of flowering plant in the poppy family Papaveraceae, which is used ornamentally. It is native to China and Japan. It is a large herbaceous perennial growing to tall by or more wide, with olive green leaves and airy panicles of buff-white flowers in summer. Etymology The Latin ''cordata'' means "heart-shaped", referring to the leaves. The common name plume poppy is used for plants of the genus ''Macleaya''. The Chinese name 博落回 (''bóluòhúi'') is derived from 簸邏迴 (''bòluóhúi''), the Xianbei name for a musical instrument also known as 大角 (''dà jiǎo'', "big horn"), because the sound of blowing the dried hollow stem resembles the instrument sound. The Japanese name 竹似草 (''takenigusa'') means "bamboo-like herb", also referring to its hollow stem. Cultivation It self-seeds readily and can be invasive, so in cultivation requires space. It is a popular subject for flower arranging. It has ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Quararibea Cordata
''Quararibea cordata'', the South American sapote or chupa-chupa, is a large, semi-deciduous, fruit tree (up to 45m in height), native to Amazon rainforest vegetation in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. It bears orange-yellow fruit which are soft, juicy, sweet and contain 2-5 seeds. Fruit is usually eaten out of hand, though it may be juiced. Although generally popular, the fruit is variable in quality, with some trees producing insipid or fibrous fruits and little work has been done in establishing preferred cultivars. It grows best in wet, deep soils, but can be killed by floods. Distribution ''Quararibea cordata'' is native to the foothills of the Andes, and is common throughout parts of Brazil, Venezuela, and Colombia. However, it is not widely cultivated. Chupa-chupa has failed to gain much international recognition and has not been widely planted outside its native range. In 1964, US pomologist Pomology (from Latin language, Latin , “fruit,” + ) is a branch o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The largest known trunk circumference was a specimen in Närke, Sweden, that measured 8.35 meters diameter at chest height. Lindar in Germany is said to be over 1000 years old. The bark is smooth and grayish when young, firm with vertical ridges and horizontal fissures when older. The crown is rounded in a formal oval ...

Prunus Subcordata
''Prunus subcordata'', known by the common names Klamath plum, Oregon plum, Pacific plum and Sierra plum, is a member of the genus ''Prunus'', native to the western United States, especially California and Oregon. Description ''Prunus subcordata'' is an erect deciduous shrub or small tree growing to in height with a trunk diameter of up to . It sprouts from its roots and can form dense, spiny thickets.

Cordatum
''Echinocardium cordatum'', also known as the common heart urchin or the sea potato, is a sea urchin in the family Loveniidae. It is found in sub-tidal regions in the NE Atlantic. Other un-named species have been identified as this species from temperate seas around the world. It lives buried in the sandy sea floor. Description The sea potato is a heart-shaped urchin clothed in a dense mat of furrowed yellowish spines which grow from tubercles and mostly point backwards. The upper surface is flattened and there is an indentation near the front. This urchin is a fawn colour but the tests that are found on the strandline have often lost their spines and are white. During life, the spines trap air which helps prevent asphyxiation for the buried urchin. The ambulacra form a broad furrow in a star shape extending down the sides of the test. There are two series each of two rows of tube feet. The test reaches from six to nine centimetres in length. Distribution The sea potato has a d ...
