Planchonella
''Planchonella'' is a genus of Flowering plant, flowering trees in the gutta-percha family (biology), family, Sapotaceae. Named in honour of Jules Émile Planchon, it was described by Jean Baptiste Louis Pierre. It contains around 110 mainly tropical species, which range from Pakistan through Southeast Asia and New Guinea to northern and eastern Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands. The genus is included in the larger genus ''Pouteria'' by some authorities, hence species such as ''Planchonella australis'' are also known as ''Pouteria australis''.

Pouteria
''Pouteria'' is a genus of flowering plant, flowering trees in the gutta-percha family (biology), family, Sapotaceae. The genus is widespread throughout the tropical Americas, with outlier species in Cameroon and Malesia. It includes the canistel (''Pouteria campechiana, P. campechiana''), the mamey sapote (''Mamey sapote, P. sapota''), and the lucuma (''Lucuma, P. lucuma''). Commonly, this genus is known as pouteria trees, or in some cases, eggfruits. ''Pouteria'' is related to ''Manilkara'', another genus that produces hard and heavy woods (e.g. ''balatá'', ''M. bidentata'') used commonly for tropical construction, as well as edible fruit (such as sapodilla, ''M. zapota''). Range ''Pouteria'', as currently delineated, has over 200 species in the tropical Americas, from Mexico to northern Argentina and central Chile, including Florida and the Caribbean islands. Four species are found outside the Americas. ''Pouteria hexastemon'' is native to Cameroon in west-central Africa, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Planchonella Costata
''Planchonella costata'' is a small coastal tree native to the northern North Island (New Zealand) and to Norfolk Island (Australia). In New Zealand, its common name is tawapou (Māori: "tawāpou"); on Norfolk Island it is called bastard ironwood. The name ''costata'' is from the Latin ''costatus'' (ribbed), a reference to the prominently raised primary nerves of the leaves. Naming and taxonomy Tawapou has undergone several scientific name changes. Some taxonomists consider it to belong in the wastebasket genus ''Pouteria'', others prefer the genus ''Planchonella'' (the latter genus is often sunk into the former). Other scientific names of this plant include ''Planchonella novozelandica''. Distribution On Norfolk Island ''P. costata'' is an uncommon tree, occurring locally in forested areas and on Mt Pitt, and is listed as 'endangered' under the Australian Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. In New Zealand, ''Planchonella costata'' grows locally on i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Planchonella Australis
''Planchonella australis'', also known by the synonym ''Pouteria australis'', is a medium to tall rainforest tree of the family Sapotaceae native to Queensland and New South Wales, Australia. It is known by the common name black apple, wild plum, yellow buttonwood, black plum and yellow bulletwood. Floyd, Alexander G., ''Rainforest Trees of Mainland South-eastern Australia'', Inkata Press 2008, pp. 406-07. Description ''Planchonella australis'' grows as a tree reaching a maximum height of , with a fluted trunk up to diameter, with rough brown bark. The leaves are simple, measuring 8–16 cm long and 2–5 cm wide, thick and leathery. The upper surface is shiny, lower surface paler green. They taper somewhat at the apex and base, rendering a somewhat diamond-shape. The flowers are generally axillary. Resembling plums in appearance, the edible fruit are 20–65 mm long, purplish or black, containing 2–5 brown and shiny seeds, 2 cm long. They ripen from Septe ...

Planchonella Sandwicensis
''Planchonella sandwicensis'' is a species of flowering tree in the sapodilla family, Sapotaceae, that is endemic to the main islands of Hawaii. Names for this species in the Hawaiian language include ''Ālaa'', ''Āulu'' and ''Ēlaa''. Description ''Ālaa'' inhabits dry, coastal mesic, and mixed mesic forests at elevations of . ''Ālaa'' reaches a height of and a trunk diameter of . The thick bark is grey and fissured, with an orange inner layer. The leaves are alternate, thick, leathery, oblong or elliptical, and measure long and wide. The upper surfaces of the leaves are glabrous and shiny green, while the lower surfaces are dull and may feature bronze or reddish brown pressed hairs.

The fruit, a berry, is in diameter and yellow, orange, or purplish black. Each fruit contains one to five seeds, w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Planchonella Reticulata
''Planchonella reticulata'' is a flowering plant in the sapodilla family (biology), family, Sapotaceae. It is a shrub or tree endemic to east-central New Caledonia.

Planchonella Cotinifolia
''Planchonella cotinifolia'' is an Australian tree in the family Sapotaceae. The common names include small-leaved plum, yellow lemon and small-leaved coondoo. It occurs in the drier rainforests from the Richmond River, New South Wales to the Wenlock River in tropical Queensland. It grows as a small tree, up to tall and a stem diameter of .

Planchonella Eerwah
''Planchonella eerwah'' is a rare species of Australian rainforest tree in the family Sapotaceae. Common names include shiny-leaved condoo, black plum and wild apple. It is endemic to south eastern Queensland, with a restricted distribution and regarded as endangered. The tree was first described as ''Sideroxylon eerwah'' in 1894 by Frederick Manson Bailey, before being moved to its current binomial name by Baehni in 1942. The species name is derived from Mount Eerwah near Eumundi in Queensland. A genetic analysis of material found that ''Planchonella eerwah'' was most closely related to ''Planchonella cotinifolia'', and ''Planchonella australis'' was a sister to the two species – the three forming a distinct group.
