Leea Macrophylla
''Leea'' ( Tagalog: ''Talyantan'') is a genus of plants in the family Vitaceae, subfamily Leeoideae, that are native to parts of central Africa, tropical Asia, Australia and Melanesia. It was previously placed in its own family, Leeaceae, based on morphological differences between it and other Vitaceae genera. These differences include ovule number per locule (two in Vitaceae and one in Leeaceae), carpel number (two in Vitaceae and three in Leeaceae), and the absence or presence of a staminoidal tube (present in Leeaceae) and floral disc (present in Vitaceae). Pollen structure has also been examined for taxonomic demarcation, though studies have concluded that the pollen of Leeaceae and Vitaceae suggests the families should remain separate while other studies conclude that ''Leea'' should be included in Vitaceae. The genus was named by Linnaeus after James Lee, the Scottish nurseryman based in Hammersmith, London who introduced many new plant discoveries to England at the end of ...

David Van Royen
David van Royen (30 December 1727 – 29 April 1799) was a Dutch physician and botanist who worked at the Hortus Botanicus Leiden where he succeeded his uncle Adriaan van Royen (1704-1779) as director. Biography Van Royen was born in an upper-class family in Leiden where his father David van Royen (1699–1764) was a well-known jurist, administrator and Leiden University Library, Leiden University librarian. He studied medicine and became a physician in 1752. He published a book, ''Oratio de hortis publicis præstantissimis scientiae botanicae adminiculis'' in 1754 and became a professor of botany and director of the Hortus Botanicus Leiden in the same year. He was elected to the Royal Society in 1752. He greatly added to the herbarium collections and the Van Royen Herbarium has been considered important for taxonomy, taxonomic purposes as it includes numerous Type (biology), types of biological species. He was a correspondent of Carl Linnaeus. Botanical abbreviation References < ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
