Flora Of The Afrotropical Realm
Flora (: floras or florae) is all the plant life present in a particular region or time, generally the naturally occurring ( indigenous) native plants. The corresponding term for animals is ''fauna'', and for fungi, it is '' funga''. Sometimes bacteria and fungi are also referred to as flora as in the terms ''gut flora'' or ''skin flora'' for purposes of specificity. Etymology The word "flora" comes from the Latin name of Flora, the goddess of plants, flowers, and fertility in Roman mythology. The technical term "flora" is then derived from a metonymy of this goddess at the end of the sixteenth century. It was first used in poetry to denote the natural vegetation of an area, but soon also assumed the meaning of a work cataloguing such vegetation. Moreover, "Flora" was used to refer to the flowers of an artificial garden in the seventeenth century. The distinction between vegetation (the general appearance of a community) and flora (the taxonomic composition of a community) wa ...

Craibia Brevicaudata
''Craibia brevicaudata'', or the mountain peawood, is a species of medium to large evergreen trees from the family Fabaceae found in Angola, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zaire, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The leaves are imparipinnate and have 5–7 leaflets, which are dark green coloured, are leathery and almost hairless. The plants petiole is swelled. The flowers are compactly racemed, and are white-greenish at the center. The pods are flat, and creamy-gray, and carry reddish-brown seed In botany, a seed is a plant structure containing an embryo and stored nutrients in a protective coat called a ''testa''. More generally, the term "seed" means anything that can be Sowing, sown, which may include seed and husk or tuber. Seeds ...s. References Millettieae Flora of Africa {{Millettieae-stub ...

Stephen Troyte Dunn
Stephen Troyte Dunn (26 August 1868, Bristol - 18 April, 1938, Sheen, Surrey, England) was a British botanist. He described and systematized a significant number of plants around the world, his input most noticeable in the Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy of the flora of China. Among the plants he first scientifically described was ''Bauhinia blakeana'', now the national flower of Hong Kong. Biography Born in Bristol in the family of Rev. James Dunn, of Northern Irish descent, S. T. Dunn was educated at Radley College, Radley, and at Merton College, Oxford, where he earned his BA in classics. He was private secretary to liberal politician Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, 11th Baronet, Thomas Acland in 1897, and the next year (as in 1898 Thomas Acland died) he first joined Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Kew as private secretary to the director, William Turner Thiselton-Dyer, W. T. Thiselton-Dyer. He was then assistant for India in the herbarium from 1901 until his departure for Hong Kong in 19 ...

Craibia Atlantica
''Craibia atlantica'' is a small tree of the family Fabaceae. It is endemic to coastal areas of tropical West Africa, also growing inland along riverbanks, and is found in Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria, and Ghana. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss or habitat reduction) occurs when a natural habitat is no longer able to support its native species. The organisms once living there have either moved elsewhere, or are dead, leading to a decrease ....
