Neolamarckia Macrophylla
''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 ...

Trees Of China
In botany, a tree is a perennial plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, usually supporting branches and leaves. In some usages, the definition of a tree may be narrower, including only woody plants with secondary growth, plants that are usable as lumber or plants above a specified height. In wider definitions, the taller palms, tree ferns, bananas, and bamboos are also trees. Trees are not a taxonomic group but include a variety of plant species that have independently evolved a trunk and branches as a way to tower above other plants to compete for sunlight. The majority of tree species are angiosperms or hardwoods; of the rest, many are gymnosperms or softwoods. Trees tend to be long-lived, some reaching several thousand years old. Trees have been in existence for 370 million years. It is estimated that there are some three trillion mature trees in the world. A tree typically has many secondary branches supported clear of the ground by the trunk. This trunk typical ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Drupe
In botany, a drupe (or stone fruit) is an indehiscent fruit in which an outer fleshy part ( exocarp, or skin, and mesocarp, or flesh) surrounds a single shell (the ''pit'', ''stone'', or '' pyrena'') of hardened endocarp with a seed (''kernel'') inside. These fruits usually develop from a single carpel, and mostly from flowers with superior ovaries (polypyrenous drupes are exceptions). The definitive characteristic of a drupe is that the hard, lignified stone is derived from the ovary wall of the flower. In an aggregate fruit, which is composed of small, individual drupes (such as a raspberry), each individual is termed a drupelet, and may together form an aggregate fruit. Such fruits are often termed '' berries'', although botanists use a different definition of ''berry''. Other fleshy fruits may have a stony enclosure that comes from the seed coat surrounding the seed, but such fruits are not drupes. Flowering plants that produce drupes include coffee, jujube, ma ...

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).

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
