Megaphrynium Macrostachyum
''Megaphrynium macrostachyum'' is a species of large plant in the Marantaceae family native to tropical Africa. It grows in moist places and regenerates rapidly after ground disturbance or fire. The long stems have various uses in making cord, baskets and mats, and the large leaves are used for wrapping food, for making utensils and containers, and in herbal medicine. Description ''Megaphrynium macrostachyum'' is a rhizomatous perennial plant up to tall. Each stem bears a single leaf and an inflorescence, the remaining leaves arising directly from the rhizome which can be long. These leaves are borne on petioles up to long which sheath the stem at its base and have calloused portions just below the blade. Each leaf blade is ovate/elliptical, up to , with a rounded base and acute apex. The inflorescence forms a spike just below the calloused portion of the petiole, with branches formed of zig-zag nodes. The small flowers are bisexual and subtended by bracts and are white to bl ...

Bot. 36, 277–290. doi: 10.1600/036364411X569480 Species of this family are found in lowland tropical forests of Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The majority (80%) of the species are found in the American tropics, followed by Asian (11%) and African (9%) tropics. They are commonly called the prayer-plant family and are also known for their unique secondary pollination presentation. Description The plants usually have underground rhizomes or tubers. Th ...

Edgar Wolston Bertram Handsley Milne-Redhead
Edgar Wolston Bertram Handsley Milne-Redhead (1906-1996) was a British botanist. He was born in Frome, Somerset, UK. Educated at Cheltenham College and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, he began work at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in 1928. In 1930, he accepted an offer to work in the Colonial Office in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia), where he collected plants for herbarium specimens. He was based at Matonchi Farm, west of Mwinilunga, North-Western Province, Zambia, near the borders of Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo for 4½ months. He also collected extensively near Kalene Hill. He discovered many new species, and several were named after him, including ''Commelina milne-redheadii'' Faden ( Commelinaceae). In 1933, he married Olive Shaw, with whom he had one daughter. In 1949, he and others began the process to establish an “Association pour l’Etude Taxonomique de la Flore d’Afrique Tropicale” (or “ Association for the Taxonomic Study of the Fl ...
