Orthotrichum Casasianum
''Orthotrichum casasianum'' is a species of moss in the family Orthotrichaceae. It is Endemism, endemic to the Spanish province of Álava, in the Basque Country (autonomous community), Basque Country. It grows in less than 200 trees on the banks of the Bayas (river), Bayas river. The species is critically endangered, and was added in 2013 to the Basque Catalog of Threatened Species. Description ''Orthotrichum casasianum'' is a small epiphyte, epiphytic moss forming loose, olive-green cushions up to about 20 mm across, with individual shoots 6–10 mm tall. The leaves are erect and become slightly (gently zigzag) when dry, measuring 2.0–2.8 mm long by 0.4–0.6 mm wide. They are linear- to linear-oblong, with margins (rolled under) for much of their length. Leaf tips are broadly rounded or , often concave, and typically bear a minute one- or two-celled (tiny hair-like point). Upper leaf cells are thick-walled and either smooth or bear very low (small bu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Moss
Mosses are small, non-vascular plant, non-vascular flowerless plants in the taxonomic phylum, division Bryophyta (, ) ''sensu stricto''. Bryophyta (''sensu lato'', Wilhelm Philippe Schimper, Schimp. 1879) may also refer to the parent group bryophytes, which comprise Marchantiophyta, liverworts, mosses, and hornworts. Mosses typically form dense green clumps or mats, often in damp or shady locations. The individual plants are usually composed of simple leaf, leaves that are generally only one cell thick, attached to a plant stem, stem that may be branched or unbranched and has only a limited role in conducting water and nutrients. Although some species have conducting tissues, these are generally poorly developed and structurally different from similar tissue found in vascular plants. Mosses do not have seeds and after fertilisation develop sporophytes with unbranched stalks topped with single capsules containing sporangium, spores. They are typically tall, though some species ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sambucus Nigra
''Sambucus nigra'' is a species complex of flowering plants in the family Viburnaceae native to most of Europe. Common names include elder, elderberry, black elder, European elder, European elderberry, and European black elderberry. It grows in a variety of conditions including both wet and dry fertile soils, primarily in sunny locations. The plant is widely grown as an Ornamental plant, ornamental shrub or small tree. Both the flowers and the berries have a long tradition of culinary use, primarily for Elderflower cordial , cordial and wine. Although the plant is commonly used in dietary supplements and traditional medicine, there is no evidence-based medicine, scientific evidence that it provides any significant health benefit. Description Elderberry is a deciduous shrub or small tree growing to tall and wide, rarely reaching tall. The bark, light gray when young, changes to a coarse gray outer bark with lengthwise furrowing, lenticels prominent. The leaves are arranged ...

Orthotrichum Scanicum
''Orthotrichum scanicum'' is a species of moss in the Orthotrichaceae family. It is found in Austria, the Czech Republic, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, Russia, Serbia and Montenegro, Sweden, and Switzerland. Its natural habitat is temperate forests. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss or habitat reduction) occurs when a natural habitat is no longer able to support its native species. The organisms once living there have either moved elsewhere, or are dead, leading to a decrease .... ''O. scanicum'' was first found in China in 2010 by a researcher named M. Sulayman. He found this moss on Anshan Mountain which is part of an autonomous region of China. Between the years 2010 and 2015, the species was recorded in 11 additional locations in or near this region.

Creu Casas
Creu Casas i Sicart (Barcelona, April 26, 1913 – Barcelona, May 20, 2007) was a Catalan biologist and botanist. After graduating from the University of Barcelona, she became a bryology specialist and started a large inventory of Catalan and European bryophytes. She wrote two important books on this subject: ''Flora dels Briòfits dels Països Catalans'' (vol. I, 2001; vol. II, 2004) and ''Handbook of mosses of the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands'' (2006). Early life Creu Casas was born into a humble family in Barcelona on 5 May 1913. Her father, a gardener, started working for the philanthropist and book enthusiast Rafael Patxot around 1917, in a section of the house where their family later resided. Responsible for tending to Patxot's gardens, including one situated on Montseny mountain, her father immersed her in a milieu of gardens, gardeners, and cultured visitors, fostering Creu's budding fascination with the botanical realm. Education She pursued a degre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Botanical Name
A botanical name is a formal scientific name conforming to the ''International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants'' (ICN) and, if it concerns a plant cultigen, the additional cultivar or cultivar group, Group epithets must conform to the ''International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants'' (ICNCP). The code of nomenclature covers "all organisms traditionally treated as algae, Fungus, fungi, or plants, whether fossil or non-fossil, including blue-green algae (Cyanobacteria), Chytridiomycota, chytrids, oomycetes, slime moulds and Photosynthesis, photosynthetic protists with their taxonomically related non-photosynthetic groups (but excluding Microsporidia)." The purpose of a formal name is to have a single name that is accepted and used worldwide for a particular plant or plant group. For example, the botanical name ''Bellis perennis'' denotes a plant species which is native to most of the countries of Europe and the Middle East, where it has accumulated variou ...

Section (botany)
In botany, a section () is a taxonomic rank below the genus, but above the species. The subgenus, if present, is higher than the section; and the rank of Series (botany), series, if present, is below the section. Sections may in turn be divided into subsections.Article 4 in Sections are typically used to help organise very large genera, which may have hundreds of species. A botanist wanting to distinguish groups of species may prefer to create a taxon at the rank of section or series to avoid making combinatio nova, new combinations, i.e. many new Binomial nomenclature, binomial names for the species involved. Examples: * ''Lilium'' sectio ''Martagon'' Rchb. are the Turks' cap lilies * ''Plagiochila aerea'' Taylor is the type species of ''Plagiochila'' sect.

Subgenus
In biology, a subgenus ( subgenera) is a taxonomic rank directly below genus. In the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, a subgeneric name can be used independently or included in a species name, in parentheses, placed between the generic name and the specific epithet: e.g. the tiger cowry of the Indo-Pacific, ''Cypraea'' (''Cypraea'') ''tigris'' Linnaeus, which belongs to the subgenus ''Cypraea'' of the genus ''Cypraea''. However, it is not mandatory, or even customary, when giving the name of a species, to include the subgeneric name. In the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants The ''International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants'' (ICN or ICNafp) is the set of rules and recommendations dealing with the formal botanical names that are given to plants, fungi and a few other groups of organisms, all tho ... (ICNafp), the subgenus is one of the possible subdivisions of a genus. There is no limit to the number of divisio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Species Description
A species description is a formal scientific description of a newly encountered species, typically articulated through a scientific publication. Its purpose is to provide a clear description of a new species of organism and explain how it differs from species that have been previously described or related species. For a species to be considered valid, a species description must follow established guidelines and naming conventions dictated by relevant nomenclature codes. These include the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) for animals, the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN) for plants, and the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) for viruses. A species description often includes photographs or other illustrations of type material and information regarding where this material is deposited. The publication in which the species is described gives the new species a formal scientific name. Some 1.9 million ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Corylus Avellana
''Corylus avellana'', the common hazel, is a species of flowering plant in the birch tree, birch family Betulaceae. The shrubs usually grow tall. The nut is round, in contrast to the longer Corylus maxima, filbert nut. Common hazel is native to Europe and Western Asia. The species is mainly cultivated for its nuts. The name 'hazelnut' applies to the nuts of any species in the genus ''Corylus'', but in commercial contexts usually describes ''C. avellana''. This hazelnut or cob nut, the seed, kernel of the seed, is edible and used raw, roasted, or ground into a paste. Historically, the shrub was an important component of the hedgerows used as field boundaries in lowland England. The wood was grown as coppice, with the poles used for wattle-and-daub building and agricultural fencing. Description Common hazel is typically a shrub reaching tall, but can reach . The leaves are deciduous, rounded, long and across, softly hairy on both surfaces, and with a double-serrate margin. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
