Cordyline
''Cordyline'' is a genus of about 24 species of woody monocotyledonous flowering plants in family (biology), family Asparagaceae, subfamily Lomandroideae. The subfamily has previously been treated as a separate family Laxmanniaceae, or Lomandraceae. Other authors have placed the genus in the Agavaceae (now Agavoideae). ''Cordyline'' is native to the western Pacific Ocean region, from New Zealand, eastern Australia, southeastern Asia and Polynesia, with one species found in southeastern South America. The name ''Cordyline'' comes from the Greek word ''kordyle'', meaning "club," a reference to the enlarged underground stems or rhizomes. Species , the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families accepted 24 species: * ''Cordyline angustissima'' K.Schum. – New Guinea * ''Cordyline australis'' (G.Forst.) Endl. (Cabbage Tree) – New Zealand * ''Cordyline banksii'' Hook.f. (syn. ''C. diffusa'' Colenso.) – New Zealand * ''Cordyline cannifolia'' R.Br. – Australia: N.E. Northern ...

Cordyline Australis
''Cordyline australis'', commonly known as the cabbage tree, or by its Māori language, Māori name of ''tī'' or ''tī kōuka'', is a widely branched monocotyledon, monocot tree endemism, endemic to New Zealand. It grows up to tall with a stout trunk and sword-like leaves, which are clustered at the tips of the branches and can be up to long. With its tall, straight trunk and dense, rounded heads, it is a characteristic feature of the New Zealand landscape. It is common over a wide latitudinal range from the far north of the North Island to the south of the South Island. It grows in a broad range of habitat (ecology), habitats. The largest known tree, growing at Pākawau, Golden Bay / Mohua, is estimated to be 400 or 500 years old, and stands tall with a circumference of at the base. Known to Māori as , the tree was used as a source of food, particularly in the South Island, where it was cultivated in areas where other crops would not grow. It provided durable fiber crop ...

World Checklist Of Selected Plant Families
The World Checklist of Selected Plant Families (usually abbreviated to WCSP) was an "international collaborative programme that provides the latest peer reviewed and published opinions on the accepted scientific names and synonyms of selected plant families." Maintained by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, it was available online, allowing searches for the names of families, genera and species, as well as the ability to create checklists. The project traced its history to work done in the 1990s by Kew researcher Rafaël Govaerts on a checklist of the genus ''Quercus''. Influenced by the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation, the project expanded. , 173 families of seed plants were included. Coverage of monocotyledon families was completed and other families were being added. There is a complementary project called the International Plant Names Index (IPNI), in which Kew is also involved. The IPNI aims to provide details of publication and does not aim to determine which are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cordyline Manners-suttoniae
''Cordyline manners-suttoniae'', commonly known as the giant palm lily, is an evergreen plant found only in rainforest of northeastern Queensland, Australia. Description ''Cordyline manners-suttoniae'' is an erect shrub growing to about tall, and may be single stemmed or branched. The large simple leaves are crowded at the ends of the branches. They may reach long and wide, and are arranged spirally around the stem. Lateral veins run more or less parallel to each other with numerous secondary veins between them. The fleshy petiole may be long, is "U" shaped in cross-section, and the base widens into a sheath clasping the stem. The inflorescences are panicles measuring up to long, produced either terminally or from the leaf axils. The bisexual flowers are about long with 3 white or cream petals; they are held on pedicels about long. There are six stamens, the ovary is 3-lobed with 2-16 ovules per locule. The fruit is a bright red glossy berry (in botanical terms) measuri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cordyline Indivisa
''Cordyline indivisa'' is a monocot tree endemic to New Zealand, where it is called mountain cabbage tree or bush flax. It is also known as the broad-leaved cabbage tree, and in the Māori language as . Distribution In the North Island, ''Cordyline indivisa'' occurs from south of Kohukohunui in the Hunua Ranges and Te Moehau (Coromandel Peninsula) but becomes common only south of Raukumara Ranges and the central Volcanic Plateau. In the South Island it is widespread and common along the north and western portions of the island, but occurs more locally in the drier eastern regions. Description ''C. indivisa'' is very distinctive. The species can be distinguished from all other ''Cordyline'' species by its very broad blue-grey leaves, and its smaller, tightly compacted inflorescence which is produced from beneath the foliage. It forms a stout tree up to tall, with a trunk from in diameter. The stem is usually unbranched, or has very few branches. The leaves are long, and from ...

Cordyline Diffusa
''Cordyline banksii'' (forest cabbage tree, ''tī ngahere'') is a monocot tree endemic to New Zealand. The specific epithet ''banksii'' refers to the 18th-century botanist Joseph Banks. Distribution ''Cordyline banksii'' tolerates a wide variety of habitats. It is common in coastal, lowland, and lower montane forests in the North Island, widespread in the northern half of the South Island and Westland as far south as Haast. It has occasionally been reported from coastal Fiordland, but these sightings are unsubstantiated. It also occasionally occurs in subalpine regions in the South Island. In shrublands it occurs with ''Cordyline pumilio'' and may form hybrids with it. Description Tī ngahere is a sparingly-branched cabbage tree up to tall. The leaves are lanceolate (somewhat paddle-shaped), up to long and from wide. The leaves are broad in the mid portion and droop from there. A prominent flat midrib runs the whole length of the leaf. The fruiting panicle is up to 2 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cordyline Congesta
''Cordyline congesta'', commonly known as narrow-leaved palm lily (not to be confused with '' C. stricta'', also known by this common name) is an evergreen Australian plant. A rare shrub up to tall found on the margins of rainforest, and in riverine scrub and moist gullies in eucalyptus forest. Growing north from the Clarence River, New South Wales. Leaves long and thin to lanceolate. Up to long by , with stiff marginal teeth near the base of leaf; leaf stem up to long. Small white to mauve flowers form on panicle In botany, a panicle is a much-branched inflorescence. (softcover ). Some authors distinguish it from a compound spike inflorescence, by requiring that the flowers (and fruit) be pedicellate (having a single stem per flower). The branches of a p ...s. Flowering occurs from September to October. Fruit an orange-red berry, in diameter, ripening from December to March. This species propagates easily from seeds, suckers or stem cuttings.
