Goodia
''Goodia'' is a genus of six species of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae, and is endemic to Australia. Plants in the genus ''Daviesia'' are shrubs with trifoliate leaves. The flowers are arranged in racemes, the sepals with two "lips", the standard petal more or less circular and the fruit is a flattened pod. Description Plants in the genus ''Goodia'' are shrubs with trifoliate leaves, the leaves with a petiole with stipules at the base but that soon fall off. The flowers are arranged in racemes, each flower with a bract and two bracteoles at the base, but all fall off as the flower opens. The sepals are joined at the base with two "lips", the upper lip with two broad lobes and the lower lip with three narrow teeth. The petals are yellow with red, green or purplish markings, the standard petal more or less circular and the wings narrow. The fruit a flattened pod on a long stalk. Taxonomy The genus ''Goodia'' was first formally described in 1806 by Richard Anthony Sal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Goodia Pubescens
''Goodia pubescens'', commonly known as golden tip, is a flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. It has yellow pea flowers, bluish-green leaves and found in Victoria and New South Wales. Description ''Goodia pubescens'' is a small tree or shrub to high, new branchlets thickly covered with flattened or spreading hairs. The leaves are bluish-green, divided into 3 leaflets, smaller leaves are oval to oval-wedge shaped or elliptic, broader at the apex. The leaves at the end of branches mostly egg-shaped, long, wide with occasional hairs on upper and lower surface, and the petiole long. The flowers are borne in racemes long, flowers yellow with red or brown markings, long on a pedicel long. The calyx long, covered in short, soft hairs. Flowering occurs from September to November and the fruit is an oblong to narrowly-elliptic pod long narrowing to a stalk. Taxonomy and naming ''Goodia pubescens'' was first formally described in 1810 by Sims and the description was publish ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Goodia Lotifolia
''Goodia lotifolia'', commonly known as golden tip or clover tree, is a shrub species in the pea family, Fabaceae. It is endemic to south-eastern Australia. Plants grow to 4 metres and have trifoliate leaves. Yellow flowers appear in racemes in spring. The seed pods are around 25 mm long. The species was first formally described in 1806 by botanist Richard Salisbury in ''The Paradisus Londinensis''. Two varieties are currently recognised: *''Goodia lotifolia Salisb. var.

Peter Good
Peter Good (date of birth unknown, died 12 June 1803) was the gardener assistant to botanist Robert Brown on the voyage of HMS ''Investigator'' under Matthew Flinders, during which the coast of Australia was charted, and various plants collected. Biography Good had worked as a foreman at Kew Royal Gardens, during which time he had assisted botanist Christopher Smith in transporting a shipment of English plants to Calcutta. He was working as a kitchen gardener at Wemyss Castle, Scotland, when Joseph Banks offered him the appointment as gardener to Brown, at a salary of £105 a year. The voyage Good made an extensive seed collection during the voyage, and also collected plant specimens for both his own and Brown's collections. He died of dysentery in Sydney Cove, and his plant collection was incorporated into Brown's. Brown immensely admired his work ethic, and named the plant genus ''Goodia'' in his honour.''The Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal'', Robert Jameson, William Jardin ...

The Paradisus Londinensis
''The Paradisus Londonensis'' (full title ''The Paradisus Londonensis : or Coloured Figures of Plants Cultivated in the Vicinity of the Metropolis'') is a book dated 1805–1808, printed by D.N. Shury, and published by William Hooker.. It consists of coloured illustrations of 117 plants drawn by William Hooker, with explanatory text by Richard Anthony Salisbury. Publication ''The Paradisus Londinensis'' was constructed as two volumes, each of two parts. The plates were in one part, the text in the other. The title page of the first volume and part bears the date 1805 and identifies the illustrator and publisher as Hooker. The title page of the second part identifies the author of the text as Salisbury. It has often been catalogued as 1805–1807, although some later plates are dated 1808. The International Plant Names Index dates the parts as follows: *1(1): 1 Jun 1805 – 1 May 1806 *1(2): 1 Jun 1806 – 1 Sep 1808 *2(1): 1 Jun 1807 – 1 May 1808 *2(2): 1 Jun 1808 – 1 Sep ...

Mirbelioids
The Mirbelioids are an informal subdivision of the plant family Fabaceae that includes the former tribes Bossiaeeae and Mirbelieae. They are consistently recovered as a monophyletic clade in molecular phylogenies. The Mirbelioids arose 48.4 ± 1.3 million years ago (in the early Eocene). Members of this clade are mostly ericoid ( sclerophyllous) shrubs with yellow and red ('egg and bacon') flowers found in Australia, Tasmania, and Papua-New Guinea. The name of this clade is informal and is not assumed to have any particular taxonomic rank like the names authorized by the ICBN or the ICPN. Members of this clade exhibit unusual embryology compared to other legumes, either enlarged antipodal cells in the embryo sac or the production of multiple embryo sacs. There has been a shift from bee pollination to bird pollination several times in this clade. Mirbelioids produce quinolizidine alkaloids, but unlike most papilionoids, they do not produce isoflavones. Many of the Mirbelioids ...

Richard Anthony Salisbury
Richard Anthony Salisbury, FRS (born Richard Anthony Markham; 2 May 1761 – 23 March 1829) was a British botanist. While he carried out valuable work in horticultural and botanical sciences, several bitter disputes caused him to be ostracised by his contemporaries. Life Richard Anthony Markham was born in Leeds, England, as the only son of Richard Markham, a cloth merchant and Elizabeth Laycock. His family included two sisters, including his older sister Mary (b. 1755). One of his sisters became a nun. His mother, was the great grand-daughter of Jonathan Laycock of Shaw Hill. Laycock in turn married Mary Lyte (b. 1537), brother of Henry Lyte, the botanist and translator of the herbal of Dodoens. Of this, he wrote "so I inherit a taste for botany from very ancient blood". He studied at a school near Halifax and by the age of eight had established a passion for plants. He attended medical school at the University of Edinburgh in 1780, where he would have at leas ...

Rosids Of Western Australia
The rosids are members of a large clade (monophyletic group) of flowering plants, containing about 70,000 species, more than a quarter of all angiosperms. The clade is divided into 16 to 20 orders, depending upon circumscription and classification. These orders, in turn, together comprise about 140 families. Fossil rosids are known from the Cretaceous period. Molecular clock estimates indicate that the rosids originated in the Aptian or Albian stages of the Cretaceous, between 125 and 99.6 million years ago. Today's forests are highly dominated by rosid species, which in turn helped with diversification in many other living lineages. Additionally, rosid herbs and shrubs are also a significant part of arctic/alpine, temperate floras, aquatics, desert plants, and parasites. Name The name is based upon the name "Rosidae", which had usually been understood to be a subclass. In 1967, Armen Takhtajan showed that the correct basis for the name "Rosidae" is a description of a gro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
John Sims (taxonomist)
John Sims (13 October 1749 – 26 February 1831) was an English physician and botanist. He was born in Canterbury, Kent and was subsequently educated at the Quaker school in Burford, Oxfordshire, he then went on to study medicine at Edinburgh University. Later in life he moved to London (1766) where he worked as a physician, notably he was involved with the birth of Princess Charlotte in which both mother and baby died. He was the first editor of Curtis's Botanical Magazine. Early life Sims was born in Canterbury, Kent, the son of, Robert Courthope Sims (1720–1812), a physician, and Rebecca née Tritton (1723–c1781). His father was a member of the Society of Friends who published ''An Essay on the Nature and Constitution of Man'' . He was educated at the Quaker school in Burford, Oxfordshire, with additional instruction from his father. He studied medicine at Edinburgh University, obtaining his PhD in 1774.
