Cyrillaceae
The Cyrillaceae are a small family of flowering plants in the order Ericales, native to warm temperate to tropical regions of the Americas. The family comprises two genera, ''Cliftonia'' and '' Cyrilla'', each containing a single species, ''Cliftonia monophylla'' and '' Cyrilla racemiflora''. However, additional species of ''Cyrilla'' are now often recognized and the genus is in need of taxonomic revision. In the past, many botanists included a third genus, '' Purdiaea'', in the family, though recent research has shown this genus is better placed in the closely related family Clethraceae. Fossil record Fossil ''Cyrilla'' and ''Cliftonia'' leaves, wood and pollen have been reported from the Neogene Lower Rhine region brown coal. Leaf fragments of ''Cyrilla'' have been found frequently in brown coals of central Europe. The Cyrillaceae formed part of the Tertiary bog A bog or bogland is a wetland that accumulates peat as a deposit of dead plant materials often mosses ...

Ericales Families
The Ericales are a large and diverse order of dicotyledons. Species in this order have considerable commercial importance including for tea, persimmon, blueberry, kiwifruit, Brazil nuts, argan, and azalea. The order includes trees, bushes, lianas, and herbaceous plants. Together with ordinary autophytic plants, the Ericales include chlorophyll-deficient mycoheterotrophic plants (e.g., ''Sarcodes sanguinea'') and carnivorous plants (e.g., genus ''Sarracenia''). Many species have five petals, often grown together. Fusion of the petals as a trait was traditionally used to place the order in the subclass Sympetalae. Mycorrhizal associations are quite common among the order representatives, and three kinds of mycorrhiza are found exclusively among Ericales (namely, ericoid, arbutoid and monotropoid mycorrhiza). In addition, some families among the order are notable for their exceptional ability to accumulate aluminum. Ericales are a cosmopolitan order. Areas of distribution o ...

Purdiaea
''Purdiaea'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Clethraceae described as a genus in 1846. It is one of two genera in this family, and was formerly classified in the related family Cyrillaceae. ''Purdiaea'' is native to tropical regions of the Caribbean (with the highest species diversity on Cuba), Central America and northern South America, further south than the related genus ''Clethra'', the only other genus of this family. The genus is composed of shrubs and small trees with alternating leaves. ;Selected species * '' Purdiaea belizensis'' ( A.C.Sm. & Standl.)

Tertiary
Tertiary ( ) is a widely used but obsolete term for the geologic period from 66 million to 2.6 million years ago. The period began with the demise of the non- avian dinosaurs in the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, at the start of the Cenozoic Era, and extended to the beginning of the Quaternary glaciation at the end of the Pliocene Epoch. The time span covered by the Tertiary has no exact equivalent in the current geologic time system, but it is essentially the merged Paleogene and Neogene periods, which are informally called the Early Tertiary and the Late Tertiary, respectively. The Tertiary established the Antarctic as an icy island continent. Historical use of the term The term Tertiary was first used by Giovanni Arduino during the mid-18th century. He classified geologic time into primitive (or primary), secondary, and tertiary periods based on observations of geology in Northern Italy. Later a fourth period, the Quaternary, was applied. In the early ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
