Cipocereus
''Cipocereus'' is a genus of cactus, cacti from Brazil. These species were previously included in the genera ''Pilosocereus'' and ''Cereus (plant), Cereus''. Description The plants of the genus ''Cipocereus'' are bushy, sometimes branched and columnar growing to heights of up to 3.5 m. The cylindrical, somewhat woody shoots are 2 to 5 cm in diameter. On the 4 to 21 ribs are round, white or brown areoles from which a few to many spines arise, which can sometimes be missing and are of variable shape. The white, tubular flowers open at night and sometimes remain open into the following day. The pericarp and floral tube are ribbed, more or less round in cross-section, and coated with a thick blue wax. The scales are narrow and widely spaced. The spherical to egg-shaped, not splitting fruits are overgrown with intensive grey-blue. The remainder of the flowers is perennial. The brownish black to black, more or less dull seeds are broadly oval and 1 to 2 millimeters long. Sp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Senna Septemtrionalis
''Senna septemtrionalis'', commonly known as arsenic bush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is native to Central America, the southern United States and Mexico, but is naturalised in many other countries. It is an erect shrub with pinnate leaves, with four or five pairs of egg-shaped leaflets, and yellow flowers arranged in groups of five to eight, usually with seven fertile stamens and four staminodes in each flower. Description ''Senna septemtrionalis'' is an erect, glabrous shrub that typically grows to a height of up to . Its leaves are pinnate, long including a petiole long, with four or five pairs of egg-shaped leaflets. The leaflets are long and wide, usually spaced apart. There are three or four erect, club-shaped glands between the lowest pairs of leaflets. The flowers are yellow and arranged on the ends of branches and in upper leaf axils in groups of five to eight on a peduncle long, each flower on a pedicel long. The petals are up to ...

Nuytsia
''Nuytsia floribunda'' is a hemiparasitic tree found in Western Australia. The species is known locally as moodjar and, more recently, the Christmas tree or Western Australian Christmas tree. The display of intensely bright flowers during the austral summer coincides with the Christmas season. Description The habit of the species may be a tree up to high, or as a lower-growing shrub. The rough bark is grey-brown. Flowers are a vivid, yellow-orange, appearing sometime between October and January. The inflorescence on each flowering stem may be up to in length. This species is a root hemiparasite, is photosynthetic, and mainly obtains its water and mineral nutrients from its hosts. The haustoria arising from the roots of ''Nuytsia'' attach themselves to the roots of many adjacent plants, drawing water and nutrients from them. Almost all other nearby species are susceptible to attack; haustoria have even been found attached to underground cables. In natural settings, however, ...

Floribunda (rose)
Floribunda (Latin for "many-flowering") is a modern cultivar group of garden roses that was developed by crossing Hybrid tea rose, hybrid teas with polyantha roses, the latter being derived from crosses between ''Rosa chinensis'' and ''Rosa multiflora'' (sometimes called ''R. polyantha'').Phillips, R. and Rix, M., ''The Ultimate Guide to Roses'', Macmillan, 2004, p226 The idea was to create roses that bloomed with the polyantha profusion, but with hybrid tea floral beauty and colour range. The first polyantha/hybrid tea cross, 'Rødhætte' ('Red Riding Hood'), was introduced by the Danish breeder Dines Poulsen in 1907. It possessed characteristics of both its parent classes, and was initially called a Hybrid Polyantha or Poulsen rose. Poulsen continued this line of work in subsequent years, introducing several Hybrid Polyanthas such as 'Else Poulsen' in 1924. Other breeders also began introducing similar varieties, and in 1930 the name "floribunda" was coined by Dr. J.N. Nicolas ...

Floribunda (horse)
Floribunda (1958–1979) was a British-bred Irish-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. A specialist sprinter, he won his first three races (including the New Stakes by wide margins before his two-year-old season was curtailed by injury. In 1961 he was beaten in his first two races before returning to his best to win the King George Stakes and Nunthorpe Stakes. He was retired to stud at the end of the season and had mixed success as a sire of winners. Background Floribunda was a dark-coated bay horse with no white markings, bred in Britain by his owner Meg Mullion. Mullion, who owned the Ardenode Stud in partnership with her husband Jim, sent the colt to Ireland to be trained at the Curragh, County Kildare, by Paddy Prendergast, a trainer noted for his handling of precocious two-year-olds. His sire Princely Gift was a leading sprinter who broke the track record at Doncaster Racecourse when carrying 130 pounds in the 1955 Portland Handicap. Floribunda's dam Astrentia a ...
