Cordyline Australis PB230008
''Cordyline'' is a genus of about 24 species of woody monocotyledonous flowering plants in 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 Territory, N.E. Q ...

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 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 ...
