Nauclea
''Nauclea'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. The species are evergreen trees or shrubs that are native to the paleotropics. The terminal vegetative buds are usually strongly flattened. The generic name is derived from the Ancient Greek words ''naus'', meaning "ship" and ''kleio'', meaning "to close". It refers to the resemblance of the cells of the capsule to a ship's hull. Cultivation and use '' Nauclea diderrichii'' is a large tree from West Africa that is widely cultivated elsewhere. Its wood is resistant to borers and is used around harbors and in other places where wood is in constant contact with water. Taxonomy ''Nauclea'' is a member of the tribe Naucleeae. It is closely related to '' Burttdavya'' and '' Sarcocephalus'', and these latter two genera are now considered synonyms of ''Nauclea''. The current type species for the genus is '' Nauclea orientalis''. Linnaeus originally named it ''Cephalanthus orientalis'' in the first edition of ''Spec ...

Adina (plant)
''Adina'' is a genus of 12 species of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. They are shrubs or small trees, native to East Asia and Southeast Asia.

Nauclea Orientalis
''Nauclea orientalis'' is a species of tree in the family Rubiaceae, native to Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and Australia. It has many common names, including bur tree, canary wood, Leichhardt pine and yellow cheesewood. It grows to a maximum of around in height and has large glossy leaves. It bears spherical clusters of fragrant flowers that develop into golf-ball-sized edible but bitter fruits. The yellowish-to-orange soft wood is also used for timber and in woodcarving and folk medicine. Taxonomy and nomenclature ''Nauclea orientalis '' is known by the common names Leichhardt tree, cheesewood, yellow cheesewood, and canary cheesewood. It is also sometimes known as the Leichhardt pine due to the overall shape of the tree, though it is not a Pinophyta, conifer. "Leichhardt pine", however, is more commonly used for the kadam or burrflower tree (''Neolamarckia cadamba''), a closely related species. The two were often confused together, but the native range of Leichhardt trees does ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rubiaceae
Rubiaceae () is a family (biology), family of flowering plants, commonly known as the coffee, madder, or bedstraw family. It consists of terrestrial trees, shrubs, lianas, or herbs that are recognizable by simple, opposite leaves with Petiole (botany), interpetiolar stipules and sympetalous actinomorphic flowers. The family contains about 14,100 species in about 580 genera, which makes it the fourth-largest angiosperm family. Rubiaceae has a cosmopolitan distribution; however, the largest species diversity is concentrated in the tropics and subtropics. Economically important genera include ''Coffea'', the source of coffee; ''Cinchona'', the source of the antimalarial alkaloid quinine; ornamental cultivars (''e.g.'', ''Gardenia'', ''Ixora'', ''Pentas''); and historically some dye plants (''e.g.'', ''Rubia''). Description The Rubiaceae are morphologically easily recognizable as a coherent group by a combination of characters: opposite or whorled leaves that are simple and entire, ...
