Walteranthus
''Walteranthus'' is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gyrostemonaceae. It only contains one known species, ''Walteranthus erectus''. It is native to the state of Western Australia.James W. Byng Description They are monoecious, (meaning hermaphroditic, with male and female reproductive structures in separate flowers but on the same plant), short-lived shrubs.Klaus Kubitzki and Clemens Bayer (Editors) The leaves are linear to narrowly elliptic in shape and somewhat succulent.

Brassicales
The Brassicales (or Cruciales) are an order (biology), order of flowering plants, belonging to the malvid group of eudicotyledons under the APG IV system. Well-known members of Brassicales include cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprout, broccoli, kale, Mustard_plant, mustard, turnip, bok choy, rapeseed, radish, horseradish, caper, papaya, Moringa_oleifera, moringa or drumstick tree, Reseda_(plant), mignonette, Tropaeolum, nasturtium, and Arabidopsis_thaliana, arabidopsis. One character common to many members of the order is the production of isothiocyanate (mustard oil) compounds. Most systems of classification have included this order, although sometimes under the name Capparales (the name chosen depending on which is thought to have priority). The order typically contains the following families: * Akaniaceae – two species of turnipwood trees, native to Asia and eastern Australia * Bataceae – salt-tolerant shrubs from America and Australasian realm, Australasia * Brassicaceae ...

Gyrostemon Ramulosus
''Gyrostemon ramulosus'' is a plant in the family Gyrostemonaceae. It was first described by René Louiche Desfontaines in 1820. It is native to dry zones in Western and South of Australia. Description ''Gyrostemon ramulosus'' grows to shrubs or trees to tall, with corky bark on the old branches; the leaves are slender. Male flowers have pedicels that curve backwards, reaching up to in length and width when fully open, featuring a distinctly lobed calyx with pointed lobes and multiple anthers arranged in several layers. Female flowers also possess backward-curving pedicels, reaching lengths of up to , with a distinctly lobed calyx where the lobes are either pointed or blunt. Each female flower typically contains 20-30 carpels, each with a stalkless stigma that spreads to form a crown above the ring of ovaries. These flowers bloom between May and September. The pale brown spherical fruits, measuring up to in length, develop from multiple seed segments. References External ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Adrien-Henri De Jussieu
Adrien-Henri de Jussieu (23 December 1797 – 29 June 1853) was a French botanist. Born in Paris as the son of botanist Antoine Laurent de Jussieu, he received the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1824 with a treatise of the plant family Euphorbiaceae. When his father retired in 1826, he succeeded him at the Jardin des Plantes; in 1845 he became professor of organography of plants. He was also president of the French Academy of Sciences. De Jussieu was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1850. His main publications were the ''Cours élémentaire de botanique'' (Paris) and the ''Géographie botanique'' (Paris, 1846), as well as several monographs, most notably the one on the family Malpighiaceae. In botanical references, he is usually abbreviated as Adr. Juss., also sometimes as A. Juss., as his father already has the abbreviation Juss. The asteroid 9470 Jussieu was named in honor of the de Jussieu family. In 1825, the French bo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
