Rhaphidophora
''Rhaphidophora'' is a genus in the family Araceae, occurring from tropical Africa eastwards through Malesia and Australasia to the Western Pacific. The genus consists of approximately 100 species. Description This is a genus of evergreen, robust, climbing plants. The flowers are bisexual, lacking a perianth. The spathe is shed after flowering. The ovules number eight or more and are superposed on two (rarely 3) parietal placentas of the Ovary (plants), ovary. The flowers produce many, ellipsoid, straight seeds with a brittle and smooth outer coat (testa). These are Epiphyte, hemiepiphytes, plants capable of beginning life as a seed and sending roots to the soil, or beginning as a terrestrial plant that climbs a tree and then sends roots back to the soil. In rare cases they are terrestrial rheophytes (plants that grow in fast-flowing water). Their bast fibers have typically abundant, long and slender trichosclereids, merging with the fibers of the Ground tissue#Sclerenchyma, s ...

Araceae
The Araceae are a family of monocotyledonous flowering plants in which flowers are borne on a type of inflorescence called a spadix. The spadix is usually accompanied by, and sometimes partially enclosed in, a spathe (or leaf-like bract). Also known as the arum family, members are often colloquially known as aroids. This family of 114 genera and about 3,750 known species is most diverse in the New World tropics, although also distributed in the Old World tropics and northern temperate regions. Description Within the Araceae, species are often rhizomatous or tuberous; many are epiphytic, creeping lianas or vining plants, and the leaves and tissues of the entire plant nearly always contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals or raphides, in varying degrees. The foliage can vary considerably from species to species. The majority of species produce an inflorescence consisting of a spadix (which some compare to a corn cob, in appearance), which is nearly always surrounded ...

''Alloschemone'' is a genus of evergreen root climbing plants in the family Araceae that is native to the Amazon region of Bolivia and Brazil. There are only two species in the genus and both are extremely rare. These two species are '' Alloschemone occidentalis'' and '' Alloschemone inopinata''. At one point in history, the genus ''Alloschemone'' was dissolved and added to ''Scindapsus ''Scindapsus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae.

Amydrium
''Amydrium'' is a genus of primarily epiphytic, vining flowering plants in the arum and aroid family, Araceae, that is native to Southeast Asia, South China and New Guinea. ''Amydrium'' is distinguished from other members of the tribe Monstereae by having two ovules in each ovary. The seeds tend to be heart shaped. Similar to other aroid genera, the leaves of ''Amydrium'' often show fenestration.Bown, Deni (2000).

Holochlamys
''Holochlamys'' is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. ''Holochlamys beccarii'' is the only species in the genus ''Holochlamys.'' It is native to New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago and is found growing in mud near lowland streams or rocky streambeds at high elevations. The species is primarily rheophytic and closely related to the genus ''Spathiphyllum''. ''Holochlamys'' closely resemble ''Spathiphyllum'' except that in ''Holochamys'' the spathe clasps the spadix. Also, the inflorescence rots quickly after flowering which doesn't occur in ''Spathiphyllum''. The inflorescence emerges below the foliage and has a white spathe and spadix. The spadix tends to be about the same length as the spathe and produces a leathery fruit. Contained within the fruit are very small seeds. The leaves can vary greatly in size, but they tend to be either oval or lanceolate The following terms are used to describe leaf plant morphology, morphology in the description and ...

Family (biology)
Family (, : ) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". The delineation of what constitutes a family—or whether a described family should be acknowledged—is established and decided upon by active taxonomists. There are not strict regulations for outlining or acknowledging a family, yet in the realm of plants, these classifications often rely on both the vegetative and reproductive characteristics of plant species. Taxonomists frequently hold varying perspectives on these descriptions, leading to a lack of widespread consensus within the scientific community ...

Wallace Line
The Wallace Line or Wallace's Line is a faunal boundary line drawn in 1859 by the British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace and named by the English biologist Thomas Henry Huxley. It separates the biogeographic realms of Asia and 'Wallacea', a transitional zone between Asia and Australia (continent), Australia formerly also called the Malay Archipelago and the Indo-Australian Archipelago (Present day Indonesia). To the west of the line are found organisms related to Asiatic species; to the east, a mixture of species of Asian and Australian origins is present. Wallace noticed this clear division in both land mammals and birds during his travels through the East Indies in the 19th century. The line runs through Indonesia, such as Makassar Strait between Borneo and Sulawesi (Celebes), and through the Lombok Strait between Bali and Lombok, where the distance is strikingly small, only about 35 kilometers (22 mi), but enough for a contrast in species present on each isl ...

Spathiphyllum
''Spathiphyllum'' is a genus of about 60 species of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the family Araceae, native to tropical regions of the Americas and southeastern Asia. Certain species of ''Spathiphyllum'' are commonly known as spath or peace lilies. They are evergreen herbaceous perennial plants with large leaves long and broad. The flowers are produced in a spadix, surrounded by a long, white, yellowish, or greenish spathe. The plant does not need large amounts of light or water to survive. It is most often grown as a houseplant. However, it can withstand the elements well enough to thrive when planted outdoors in hot and humid situations. Description ''Spathiphyllum'' is a genus of herbaceous evergreen plants with dark green foliage that can reach in height. Rosettes of glossy, dark green leaves emerge directly from a low-lying or underground creeping stem. The leaves are elliptical or lanceolate, long and wide. They are supported on shoots ( petioles) of short ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
