Thymelaeaceae
The Thymelaeaceae are a cosmopolitan family (biology), family of flowering plants composed of 50 genera (listed below) and 898 species.Zachary S. Rogers (2009 onwards)A World Checklist of Thymelaeaceae (version 1) Missouri Botanical Garden Website, St. Louis. It was established in 1789 by Antoine Laurent de Jussieu.Antoine Laurent de Jussieu ''Genera Plantarum'', page 76. Herrisant & Barrois, Paris. The Thymelaeaceae are mostly trees and shrubs, with a few vines and herbaceous plants. Description Several conspicuous or unusual traits are characteristic of the family (when ''Tepuianthus'' is excluded). The bark is usually shiny and fibrous, with strips of bark peeling down the side of broken stems.Ernst Schmidt, Mervyn Lotter and Warren McCleland The number of stamens is usually once or twice the number of calyx (botany), calyx lobes; when twice, they often occur in two well separated series. Exceptions include ''Gonystylus'', which may have up to 100 stamens, and ''Pimelea'', w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gnidia
''Gnidia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Thymelaeaceae. It is distributed in tropical and southern Africa and Madagascar; more than half of all the species are endemic to South Africa.Rogers, Z. S. (2006)A new species of Malagasy ''Gnidia'' and the lectotypification of ''Octolepis decalepis'' (Thymelaeaceae).''Adansonia, sér.'' 3(28), 155-60. ''Gnidia'' was named for Knidos, an Ancient Greek city located in modern-day Turkey.Hyde, M. A., et al''Gnidia''.Flora of Zimbabwe. 2013. These are perennial herbs and shrubs, sometimes with rhizomes. Most species have alternately arranged leaves, and a few have opposite leaves. The leaves are undivided and unlobed. The inflorescence is a head of a few to many flowers. The calyx is cylindrical and the colored lobes may alternate with the petals; some species lack petals. Many species are similar in appearance and difficult to tell apart. Molecular analyses have provided evidence that the genus is polyphyletic, made up of fo ...

Stellera
''Stellera'' is a genus of flowering plant in the family Thymelaeaceae, with a single species ''Stellera chamaejasme'' found in mountainous regions of Central Asia, China, Korea, Siberia and South Asia.

It includes 16 species which range from southern European Russia and the Caucasus through Western and Central Asia through China and Mongolia to Korea and the Russian Far East.

Edgeworthia
''Edgeworthia'' (paper bush) is a genus of plants in the family Thymelaeaceae. When the genus was first described, it was published twice in the same year (1841), in two separate publications: '; and ''Denkschriften der Regensburgischen Botanischen Gesellschaft.'' The genus was named in honour of Michael Pakenham Edgeworth, an Irish botanist and official in the Bengal Civil Service, then stationed in India, and for his half-sister, writer Maria Edgeworth. In: ''Denkschriften der Regensburgischen Botanischen Gesellschaft.'' Regensburg. iii. (1841) 280. t. 6. Trichotomous branching At least one member of the genus, '' Edgeworthia chrysantha'', has the extremely unusual ability to branch trichotomously - the apical meristem forming the end of each stem splits into three sections at once, leading to its Japanese name .

Dirca
''Dirca'' is a genus of three or four species of flowering plants in the family Thymelaeaceae, native to North America. The genus is named after Dirce in Greek mythology. The general common name for this deciduous shrub is leatherwood; other names include moosewood, ropebark and the Powhatan-derived name wicopy, referring to its use as a fiber, wigub in the Algonquin languages. The stems of ''Dirca'' are exceptionally pliable and the bark is difficult to tear by hand; for this reason, its stems were used by Native Americans in eastern North America as thongs or ropes. The inner bark has cross-linked fibers that are short but strong and flexible. Members of the genus can grow to a maximum height of about three meters, and are often associated with rich, moist woods or slopes above creeks or streams. '' D. palustris'' is a widespread species that grows in scattered populations throughout eastern North America, from Nova Scotia west to North Dakota and Oklahoma, and south to Florida ...
