Lepiderema
''Lepiderema'' is a genus of nine species of trees from the family Sapindaceae. botanists know of seven species growing naturally in Australia and two species in New Guinea. Published botanical science provides a limited knowledge of the full range of diversity in Australia and especially in New Guinea. In New Guinea the two known species have descriptions based each on only a single type specimen collection. Therefore, collection of more specimens and more species is most likely in New Guinea. In Australia they grow in rainforests of the northern half of the east coast side of the Great Dividing Range, from northeastern New South Wales through to northeastern Queensland. In Australia, some species share the name tuckeroo with the closely related genus '' Cupaniopsis''. The northeastern NSW and southeastern Queensland endemic species ''L. pulchella'' has obtained the conservation status of "vulnerable" species by both the Qld and NSW governments. Two of the northeastern Que ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lepiderema Sericolignis
''Lepiderema sericolignis'', commonly known as silkwood, is a plant in the maple and lychee family Sapindaceae found only in the Wet Tropics bioregion of Queensland, Australia. Description ''Lepiderema sericolignis'' is a small tree to about high. The compound leaves have 2, 3, or rarely 4 pairs of leaflets that are glossy green above and dull green below. The leaflets are held on very short pulvinate stems about long. They measure up to long and wide and are elliptic in outline, with between 7 and 12 pairs of lateral veins in the blades. The inflorescences are short spikes about long, produced in small clusters on old wood and in the leaf axils. Flowers are either male or female, white to creamy yellow, with 5 petals and measuring about wide. The fruit is a globose, apricot/orange capsule up to long and wide, with three segments each containing a single black seed almost fully enclosed in a yellow aril. The capsules persist on the branches after ripening and dry dark ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lepiderema Pulchella
''Lepiderema pulchella'', commonly known as fine-leaved tuckeroo, is a species of flowering plant in the family Sapindaceae and is endemic to coastal eastern Australia. It is a tree with pinnate, glossy light green leaves with four to fourteen leaflets, panicles of yellow-orange flowers and brown, spherical to three-lobed fruit. Description ''Lepiderema pulchella'' is a tree that typically grows to a height of and is mostly glabrous. The leaves are pinnate, long on a petiole long with four to fourteen leaflets, the leaflets narrow elliptic to lance-shaped, more or less curved, long, wide and with wavy edges. The flowers are arranged in panicles long in leaf axils, each flower on a pedicel long. The flowers are yellow-orange and long, the sepals long. The fruit is a brown, spherical to three-lobed capsule in diameter containing dark brown seeds about long, the fruit maturing in December.

Rainforest
Rainforests are characterized by a closed and continuous tree canopy, moisture-dependent vegetation, the presence of epiphytes and lianas and the absence of wildfire. Rainforest can be classified as tropical rainforest or temperate rainforest, but other types have been described. Estimates vary from 40% to 75% of all biotic species being indigenous to the rainforests. There may be many millions of species of plants, insects and microorganisms still undiscovered in tropical rainforests. Tropical rainforests have been called the "jewels of the Earth" and the " world's largest pharmacy", because over one quarter of natural medicines have been discovered there. Rainforests as well as endemic rainforest species are rapidly disappearing due to deforestation, the resulting habitat loss and pollution of the atmosphere. Definition Rainforest are characterized by a closed and continuous tree canopy, high humidity, the presence of moisture-dependent vegetation, a moist layer of ...

Flora Of New Guinea
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 Thurma ...
