Lanonia Acaulis
''Lanonia'' is a genus of fan palms, in the tribe Trachycarpeae (subtribe: Livistoninae). It has a recorded native range from southern China to Indo-China and is also found in Java. Description and phylogeny ''Lanonia'' spp. are fan palms: originally eight species, six endemic to Vietnam, were transferred here from the similar genus ''Licuala'', but which was found not to be monophyletic; if anything ''Lanonia'' is more closely related to ''Johannesteijsmannia''. In this phylogenetic study, seven gene regions were analysed, significantly resolving the relationships of genera in the subtribe Livistoninae. These palms are dioecious, although not exclusively in cultivated specimens: in contrast to ''Licuala'' spp., which possess hermaphroditic flowers. The staminate and pistillate inflorescences are dimorphic in size, shape, and branching. The leaves of ''Lanonia'' may best be distinguished by the petioles, which appear to taper into the blades of each leaf. As with other fan palm ...

Arecaceae
The Arecaceae is a family of perennial flowering plants in the monocot order Arecales. Their growth form can be climbers, shrubs, tree-like and stemless plants, all commonly known as palms. Those having a tree-like form are called palm trees. Currently, 181 genera with around 2,600 species are known, most of which are restricted to tropical and subtropical climates. Most palms are distinguished by their large, compound, evergreen leaves, known as fronds, arranged at the top of an unbranched stem. However, palms exhibit an enormous diversity in physical characteristics and inhabit nearly every type of habitat within their range, from rainforests to deserts. Palms are among the best known and most extensively cultivated plant families. They have been important to humans throughout much of history. Many common products and foods are derived from palms. In contemporary times, palms are also widely used in landscaping. In many historical cultures, because of their imp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Flora Of Indo-China
Flora (: floras or florae) is all the plant life present in a particular region or time, generally the naturally occurring (indigenous) native plants. The corresponding term for animals is ''fauna'', and for fungi, it is ''funga''. Sometimes bacteria and fungi are also referred to as flora as in the terms ''gut flora'' or ''skin flora''. Etymology The word "flora" comes from the Latin name of Flora, the goddess of plants, flowers, and fertility in Roman mythology. The technical term "flora" is then derived from a metonymy of this goddess at the end of the sixteenth century. It was first used in poetry to denote the natural vegetation of an area, but soon also assumed the meaning of a work cataloguing such vegetation. Moreover, "Flora" was used to refer to the flowers of an artificial garden in the seventeenth century. The distinction between vegetation (the general appearance of a community) and flora (the taxonomic composition of a community) was first made by Jules Thurmann ...
