Neolamarckia
''Neolamarckia'' is a genus with one or two species of trees native to the Old World tropics. It has often been confused with other genera, particularly ''Nauclea'' and '' Neonauclea'' to such an extent that descriptions of ''Neolamarckia'' may state incorrectly that its fruit is a capsule. Description The inflorescenes are spherical, containing many small flowers. The fruit is a drupe that sometimes separates into four sections. Species * ''Neolamarckia cadamba'', native to east Asia, south Asia, and southeast Asia * '' Neolamarckia macrophylla'', native to south Asia, and southeast Asia Botanical nomenclature The genus name was created to replace ''Anthocephalus'', which had been based on two unrelated herbarium specimens, one of which was mislabelled. Consequently, the true ''Anthocephalus'' is a synonym of the genus ''Breonia ''Breonia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. It is endemic to Madagascar. Most species are trees, rarely shrubs. Species ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Neolamarckia Cadamba
''Neolamarckia cadamba'', with English common names burflower-tree, laran, and Leichhardt pine, and called kadam or cadamba locally, is an evergreen, tropical tree native to South and Southeast Asia. The genus name honours French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. It has scented orange flowers in dense globe-shaped clusters. The flowers are used in perfumes. The tree is grown as an ornamental plant and for timber and paper-making. Kadam features in Indian religions and mythologies. Description A fully mature tree can reach up to in height. It is a large tree with a broad crown and straight cylindrical bole. It is quick growing, with broad spreading branches and grows rapidly in the first 6–8 years. The trunk has a diameter of 100–160 cm, but typically less than that. Leaves are long. Flowering usually begins when the tree is 4–5 years old. Its flowers are sweetly fragrant, red to orange in colour, occurring in dense, globular heads of approximately diameter. The frui ...

Asterids
In the APG IV system (2016) for the classification of flowering plants, the name asterids denotes a clade (a monophyletic group). Asterids is the largest group of flowering plants, with more than 80,000 species, about a third of the total flowering plant species. Well-known plants in this clade include the common daisy, forget-me-nots, nightshades (including potatoes, eggplants, tomatoes, chili peppers and tobacco), the common sunflower, petunias, yacon, morning glory, sweet potato, coffee, lavender, lilac, olive, jasmine, honeysuckle, ash tree, teak, snapdragon, sesame, psyllium, garden sage, table herbs such as mint, basil, and rosemary, and rainforest trees such as Brazil nut. Most of the taxa belonging to this clade had been referred to as Asteridae in the Cronquist system (1981) and as Sympetalae in earlier systems. The name asterids (not necessarily capitalised) resembles the earlier botanical name but is intended to be the name of a clade rather than a f ...

Gentianales
Gentianales is an order of flowering plants, included within the asterid clade of eudicots. It comprises more than 20,000 species in about 1,200 genera in 5 families. More than 80% of the species in this order belong to the family Rubiaceae. Many of these flowering plants are used in traditional medicine. They have been used to treat pain, anxiety, cancers and neurological conditions. Taxonomy In the classification system of Dahlgren the Gentiales were in the superorder Gentianiflorae (also called Gentiananae). The following families are included according to the APG III system: * Family Apocynaceae (424 genera) * Family Gelsemiaceae (2 genera) * Family Gentianaceae (87 genera) * Family Loganiaceae (13 genera) * Family Rubiaceae (611 genera) Phylogeny The following phylogenetic tree is based on molecular phylogenetic studies of DNA sequences. Etymology It takes its name from the family Gentianaceae, which in turn is based on the name of the type genus, ''Gentiana''. The ...

Rubiaceae
The Rubiaceae are a family of flowering plants, commonly known as the coffee, madder, or bedstraw family. It consists of terrestrial trees, shrubs, lianas, or herbs that are recognizable by simple, opposite leaves with interpetiolar stipules and sympetalous actinomorphic flowers. The family contains about 13,500 species in about 620 genera, which makes it the fourth-largest angiosperm family. Rubiaceae has a cosmopolitan distribution; however, the largest species diversity is concentrated in the tropics and subtropics. Economically important genera include '' Coffea'', the source of coffee, '' Cinchona'', the source of the antimalarial alkaloid quinine, ornamental cultivars (''e.g.'', '' Gardenia'', '' Ixora'', '' Pentas''), and historically some dye plants (''e.g.'', '' Rubia''). Description The Rubiaceae are morphologically easily recognizable as a coherent group by a combination of characters: opposite or whorled leaves that are simple and entire, interpetiolar sti ...

Plantae
Plants are predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. Historically, the plant kingdom encompassed all living things that were not animals, and included algae and fungi; however, all current definitions of Plantae exclude the fungi and some algae, as well as the prokaryotes (the archaea and bacteria). By one definition, plants form the clade Viridiplantae (Latin name for "green plants") which is sister of the Glaucophyta, and consists of the green algae and Embryophyta (land plants). The latter includes the flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, ferns and their allies, hornworts, liverworts, and mosses. Most plants are multicellular organisms. Green plants obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis by primary chloroplasts that are derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria. Their chloroplasts contain chlorophylls a and b, which gives them their green color. Some plants are parasitic or mycotrophic and have lost ...

Eudicots
The eudicots, Eudicotidae, or eudicotyledons are a clade of flowering plants mainly characterized by having two seed leaves upon germination. The term derives from Dicotyledons. Traditionally they were called tricolpates or non- magnoliid dicots by previous authors. The botanical terms were introduced in 1991 by evolutionary botanist James A. Doyle and paleobotanist Carol L. Hotton to emphasize the later evolutionary divergence of tricolpate dicots from earlier, less specialized, dicots. Numerous familiar plants are eudicots, including many common food plants, trees, and ornamentals. Some common and familiar eudicots include sunflower, dandelion, forget-me-not, cabbage, apple, buttercup, maple, and macadamia. Most leafy trees of midlatitudes also belong to eudicots, with notable exceptions being magnolias and tulip trees which belong to magnoliids, and ''Ginkgo biloba'', which is not an angiosperm.

Nauclea
''Nauclea'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. The species are evergreen trees or shrubs that are native to the paleotropics. The terminal vegetative buds are usually strongly flattened. The generic name is derived from the Ancient Greek words ''naus'', meaning "ship" and ''kleio'', meaning "to close". It refers to the resemblance of the cells of the capsule to a ship's hull. Cultivation and use ''Nauclea diderrichii'' is a large tree from West Africa that is widely cultivated elsewhere. Its wood is resistant to borers and is used around harbors and in other places where wood is in constant contact with water. Taxonomy ''Nauclea'' is a member of the tribe Naucleeae and is sister to a clade consisting of ''Burttdavya'' and ''Sarcocephalus''. The current type species for the genus is ''Nauclea orientalis''. Linnaeus originally named it ''Cephalanthus orientalis'' in the first edition of ''Species Plantarum'' but transferred it to ''Nauclea'' when he erecte ...

Neonauclea
''Neonauclea'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. It comprises about 71 species. ''Neonauclea'' is a genus of shrubs and trees They are indigenous to China, India, Southeast Asia, Wallacea, New Guinea and Australia. ''Neonauclea'' was named in 1915 by Elmer Drew Merrill.''Neonauclea'' in International Plant Names Index. (see ''External links'' below).Elmer Drew Merrill. 1915. ''Neonauclea'' page 538. In: "On the application of the generic name ''Nauclea'' of Linnaeus". ''Journal of the Washington Academy of Sciences''. 5:530-542. (see ''External links'' below). The generic name is derived from the related genus ''Nauclea'' and the Greek word ''neos'', meaning "new".Umberto Quattrocchi. 2000. ''CRC World Dictionary of Plant Names'', volume III. CRC Press: Baton Rouge, New York, London, Washington DC. (vol. III).
