Gibbovalva Urbana
''Gibbovalva urbana'' is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from China (Guangdong, Hainan and Fujian), India (Meghalaya) and Japan (the Ryukyu Islands, Honshū and Tusima). The wingspan is 6–9 mm. The larvae feed on ''Magnolia'' species (including ''Magnolia denudata'', ''Magnolia sieboldii'' and ''Magnolia × soulangeana''), '' Michelia alba'', '' Michelia champaca'', '' Michelia compressa'' and ''Michelia figo''.

Edward Meyrick
Edward Meyrick (25 November 1854, in Ramsbury – 31 March 1938, at Thornhanger, Marlborough) was an English schoolmaster and amateur entomologist. He was an expert on microlepidoptera and some consider him one of the founders of modern microlepidoptera systematics. Life and work Edward Meyrick came from a Welsh clerical family and was born in Ramsbury on the Kennet to a namesake father. He was educated at Marlborough College and Trinity College, Cambridge. He actively pursued his hobby during his schooling, and one colleague stated in 1872 that Meyrick "has not left a lamp, a paling, or a tree unexamined in which a moth could possibly, at any stage of its existence, lie hid." Meyrick began publishing notes on microlepidopterans in 1875, but when in December, 1877 he gained a post at The King's School, Parramatta, New South Wales, there were greater opportunities for indulging his interest. He stayed in Australia for ten years (from 1877 until the end of 1886) working a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Magnolia × Soulangeana
''Magnolia'' × ''soulangeana'' (''Magnolia denudata'' × '' Magnolia liliiflora''), the saucer magnolia, is a hybrid flowering plant in the genus ''Magnolia'' and family Magnoliaceae. It is a deciduous tree with large, early-blooming flowers in various shades of white, pink, and purple. It is one of the most commonly used magnolias in horticulture, being widely planted in the British Isles, especially in the south of England; and in the United States, especially the east and west coasts. Description Growing as a multistemmed large shrub or small tree, ''Magnolia'' × ''soulangeana'' has alternate, simple, shiny, dark green oval-shaped leaves on stout stems. Its flowers emerge dramatically on a bare tree in early spring, with the deciduous leaves expanding shortly thereafter, lasting through summer until autumn. ''Magnolia'' × ''soulangeana'' flowers are large, commonly 10–20 cm (4–8 in) across, and colored various shades of white, pink, and maroon. An American ...

Moths Of Asia
Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995.

Leaf Miner
A leaf miner is any one of numerous species of insects in which the larval stage lives in, and eats, the leaf tissue of plants. The vast majority of leaf-mining insects are moths ( Lepidoptera), sawflies (Symphyta, the mother clade of wasps), and flies ( Diptera). Some beetles also exhibit this behavior. Like woodboring beetles, leaf miners are protected from many predators and plant defenses by feeding within the tissues of the leaves, selectively eating only the layers that have the least amount of cellulose. When attacking ''Quercus robur'' (English oak), they also selectively feed on tissues containing lower levels of tannin, a deterrent chemical produced in great abundance by the tree. The pattern of the feeding tunnel and the layer of the leaf being mined is often diagnostic of the insect responsible, sometimes even to species level. The mine often contains frass, or droppings, and the pattern of frass deposition, mine shape, and host plant identity are useful to de ...

Michelia Figo
''Magnolia figo'' (also called banana shrub, port wine magnolia, ''Michelia figo'') is an evergreen tree in the magnolia genus. It grows to tall. It is native to China. Initially described as by Portuguese missionary and naturalist João de Loureiro as '' Liriodendron figo'', it was reclassified as ''Michelia figo'' by German botanist Curt Polycarp Joachim Sprengel. In 2006, a cladistic analysis of the genus ''Michelia'' found them to lie within the genus '' Magnolia'', with the name now being ''Magnolia figo''. It is cultivated as an ornamental plant in gardens for its fragrant flowers, which are cream-white and sometimes yellow, purple rounded, or light-purple, and strongly scented with isoamyl alcohol. It is also popular to keep ''M. figo'' as a houseplant. Flower buds, as well as new leaves, are covered with hairs, giving it a texture similar to that of velvet. The leaves are leathery, dark glossy-green, up to 10 cm long. This plant is used in Shanghai ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Michelia Alba
''Michelia'' is a historical genus of flowering plants belonging to the family ( Magnoliaceae). The genus included about 50 species of evergreen trees and shrubs, native to tropical and subtropical south and southeast Asia ( Indomalaya), including southern China. Today it is regarded as a synonym of ''Magnolia''. Description The Magnoliaceae are an ancient family; fossil plants identifiably belonging to the Magnoliaceae date back 95 million years. A primitive aspect of the Magnolia family is that their large, cup-shaped flowers lack distinct petals or sepals. The large non-specialized flower parts, resembling petals, are called tepals. The leaves, flowers, and form of ''Michelia'' resemble ''Magnolia'', but the blossoms of ''Michelia'' generally form clusters among the leaves, rather than singly at the branch ends as ''Magnolia'' does. Uses Several of the larger species are locally important sources of timber. Some species, including the champak ''( Michelia champaca)'' and ''M ...

Magnolia Sieboldii
''Magnolia sieboldii'', or Siebold's magnolia, also known as Korean mountain magnolia and Oyama magnolia, is a species of ''Magnolia'' native to east Asia in China, Japan, and Korea. It is named after the German doctor Philipp Franz von Siebold (1796–1866). Description ''Magnolia sieboldii'' is a large deciduous shrub or small tree tall. The stalks, young leaves, young twigs and young buds are downy. The leaves are elliptical to ovate-oblong, 9–16 cm (rarely 25 cm) long and 4–10 cm (rarely 12 cm) broad, with a 1.5-4.5 cm petiole. The flowers, unlike the spring flowering magnolias, open primarily in the early summer, but continue intermittently until late summer. They are pendulous, cup-shaped, 7–10 cm diameter, and have 6-12 tepals, the outer three smaller, the rest larger, and pure white; the carpels are greenish and the stamens reddish-purple or greenish-white.

Magnolia Denudata
''Magnolia denudata'', the lilytree or Yulan magnolia (), is native to central and eastern China. It has been cultivated in Chinese Buddhist temple gardens since 600 AD. Its flowers were regarded as a symbol of purity in the Tang Dynasty and it was planted in the grounds of the Emperor's palace. It is the official city flower of Shanghai. Description ''Magnolia denudata'' is a rather low, rounded, thickly branched, and coarse-textured tree to tall. The leaves are ovate, bright green, 15 cm long and 8 cm wide. The bark is a coarse, dark gray. The 10–16 cm white flowers that emerge from early to late spring, while beautiful and thick with a citrus-lemon fragrance, are prone to browning if subjected to frost. Cultivation ''Magnolia denudata'' is used as an ornamental tree in gardens. It is similar to other magnolias in that it likes rich, moist soil and should be planted in a location where it is protected from elemental extremes. This plant has gained the R ...
