Eucharis (plant)
''Urceolina'' is a genus of South American plants in the Amaryllidaceae, amaryllis family native to Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Panama, and Peru. It has also been introduced to many South and Central American states, as well as India and Sri Lanka. The formerly accepted genera ''Eucharis'' and ''Caliphruria'' are now regarded as Synonym (taxonomy), synonyms of this genus. Many species of this genus share the common name Amazon lily. Taxonomy In 1821, William Herbert (botanist), William Herbert published the genus name ''Urceolaria'' and transferred ''Crinum urceolatum'' to the genus as ''Urceolaria pendula''. However, Herbert's name was Nomen illegitimum, illegitimate since the genus name had already been published in 1786 when it was attributed to Juan Ignacio Molina. (Molina's name was later rejected in favour of ''Sarmienta''.) In 1828, Ludwig Reichenbach used the name ''Urceolina'' for the genus. This is now a conserved name with the type specie ...

Velvet Worm
Onychophora (from , , "claws"; and , , "to carry"), commonly known as velvet worms (for their velvety texture and somewhat wormlike appearance) or more ambiguously as peripatus (after the first described genus, '' Peripatus''), is a phylum of elongate, soft-bodied, many-legged animals. In appearance they have variously been compared to worms with legs, caterpillars, and slugs. They prey upon other invertebrates, which they catch by ejecting an adhesive slime. Approximately 200 species of velvet worms have been described, although the true number is likely to be much greater. The two extant families of velvet worms are Peripatidae and Peripatopsidae. They show a peculiar distribution, with the peripatids being predominantly equatorial and tropical, while the peripatopsids are all found south of the equator. It is the only phylum within Animalia that is wholly endemic to terrestrial environments, at least among extant members. Velvet worms are generally considered close relative ...

Franz Grillparzer
Franz Seraphicus Grillparzer (15 January 1791 – 21 January 1872) was an Austrian writer who was considered to be the leading Austrian dramatist of the 19th century. His plays were and are frequently performed at the Burgtheater in Vienna. He also wrote the public speaking, oration for his longtime friend Ludwig van Beethoven's funeral, as well as the epitaph for his friend Franz Schubert. While writing during the period of Romanticism, Grillparzer's poetic language owes far more to the period of Classicism which reigned during his formative years. Committed to the classical ideals of aesthetic beauty and morality, his plots shy away from the realism (arts), realism which developed during his time, preferring instead to use the theater to address spiritual values, which in the words of the dying queen of his Libuše, Libussa, would only come after the period of Materialism had passed. Due to the identity-creating use of his works, especially after World War II, he was named as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Joan O'Hagan
Joan O'Hagan (1926−2014) was an Australian crime writer. Early life and education O'Hagan was born in Melbourne and was raised in Canberra. She took classes in Classics (Latin and Greek), as well as ancient history, at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. O'Hagan later moved to New Caledonia. There she helped in translating into English French book ''John Grant's Journal: A Convict's Story 1803−11'' on behalf of the South Pacific Commission, Noumea. She lived in London in the early fifties, and then moved to Rome with her husband, where she worked in the Australian Department of Immigration. Rome remained her home for the next thirty years, during which time she began writing fiction, initially as a mystery writer. O'Hagan returned to Australia in 1997 when her first grandchild was born. O'Hagan published five books; her first book was ''Incline and Fall: The Death of Geoffrey Stretton.'' As she lay dying, her grandson, Dominic West, a student at Marist Coll ...

Reginald F
Reginald is a masculine given name in the English language meaning "king". Etymology and history The name Reginald comes from Latin meaning "king" and "ruler" symbolizing authority and leadership. It comes from combining Latin “ rex” meaning king and “nald” meaning ruler. The name is derived from ''Reginaldus'' which means "king". This name signifies a ruler or kingly figure, representing authority and leadership. This Latin name is a Latinisation of a Germanic language name. The Germanic name is composed of two elements: the first ''ragin'', meaning "advice", "counsel", "decision"; the second element is ''wald'', meaning "rule", "ruler". The Old German form of the name is ''Raginald''; Old French forms are ''Reinald'' and ''Reynaud''. Forms of this Germanic name were first brought to the British Isles by Scandinavians, in the form of the Old Norse ''Rögnvaldr''. This name was later reinforced by the arrival of the Normans in the 11th century, in the Norman forms ''Rei ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eucharis (fiction)
Eucharis, who does not appear in Greek mythology, was one of the nymph Calypso's attendants in Fénelon's novel ''Les Aventures de Télémaque'' (1699), a modern prose epic which incorporates Homeric themes. In the novel, Telemachus is shipwrecked on Calypso's island Ogygia while searching for his father Odysseus, and there falls in love with Eucharis before leaving her to continue the search for his father. Fénelon, in charge of the education of the prospective heir to the French throne, admonished his readers to see the work "not as a frivolous novel, that is offered here, reader, for your idleness, but a learned parable". Its theme of the conflict between duty and love is a persistent one, central in French 17th-century classical theater, but peripheral to the ''Odyssey'' in spite of its erotic episodes. A sub-theme in ''Les Aventures de Télémaque'', that of spiritual education, is summed up within the novel by Mentor, who says, "He who has not felt his weakness and the ...

Nevadella Eucharis
''Nevadella'' is an extinct genus of trilobites, fossil marine arthropods, with species of average size (about long). It lived during the late Atdabanian stage, which lasted from 530 to 524 million years ago during the early part of the Cambrian Period. Etymology The name is derived from ''Nevadia'', a related genus. Taxonomy ''Nevadia'' predates ''Nevadella'' and may include its direct ancestor. Species previously assigned to ''Nevadella'' * ''N. burri'' = ''Pleisionevadella burri'' Description The body of ''Nevadella'' is very flat dorso-ventrally. The general outline of its thin, lightly calcified exoskeleton is inverted drop-shaped. The front is rounded, widest at the back of the headshield (or cephalon), and tapering from there to an eventually rounded termination. The central area of the cephalon (or glabella) is distinctly tapered forward, sides slightly concave, but wedging out slightly in the frontal half and with a rounded front (like the silhouette of a slim ...

Trilobite
Trilobites (; meaning "three-lobed entities") are extinction, extinct marine arthropods that form the class (biology), class Trilobita. One of the earliest groups of arthropods to appear in the fossil record, trilobites were among the most successful of all early animals, existing in oceans for almost 270million years, with over 22,000 species having been described. Because trilobites had wide diversity and an easily fossilized mineralised exoskeleton made of calcite, they left an extensive fossil record. The study of their fossils has facilitated important contributions to biostratigraphy, paleontology, evolution, evolutionary biology, and plate tectonics. Trilobites are placed within the clade Artiopoda, which includes many organisms that are morphologically similar to trilobites, but are largely unmineralised. The relationship of Artiopoda to other arthropods is uncertain. Trilobites evolved into many ecological niches; some moved over the seabed as predators, scavengers, or ...
