The Australian habitat are different forms of rainforest, particularly near the margins or in disturbed areas. Description ''Ehretia acuminata'' is a medium to large size tree, occasionally reaching 30 metres in height and a 90 cm in trunk diameter. The bark is of a creamy grey colour, with vertical fissures.

Heinrich Zollinger
Heinrich Zollinger (22 March 1818 – 19 May 1859) was a Swiss botanist. Zollinger was born in Feuerthalen, Switzerland. From 1837 to 1838 he studied botany at the University of Geneva under Augustin and Alphonse Pyramus de Candolle, but had to interrupt his studies due to financial problems. In 1842 he moved to Java, working in a botanical garden, and on small government-financed scientific expeditions. He returned to Switzerland in 1848, but came back to Java in 1855 with his wife and two children. In 1857, he proposed recognizing Malesia as a distinct floristic region, an idea later taken up by Cornelius G.G.J. van Steenis. The species '' Clavaria zollingeri'' described scientifically by French mycologist Joseph-Henri Léveillé in 1846 was named after Heinrich Zollinger, who researched the genus '' Clavaria'', and collected the type specimen in Java. Zollinger died in Kandangan, a village located in the eastern part of Mount Bromo Tengger in East Java, Indonesia. C ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
