Parashorea Laotica
''Parashorea'' is a genus of plant in family Dipterocarpaceae. The name ''Parashorea'' is derived from Greek (''para'' = similar to) and refers to the genus similarity to ''Shorea''. It contains about 14 species distributed from South Myanmar, Thailand, Indo-China and the southernmost parts of China to Sumatra, Borneo and the Philippines. ''Parashorea'' trees have hard wood, can reach heights exceeding 70 metres, and have limbs reaching outward over ten metres. White seraya is a common name for several ''Parashorea'' species used in the timber trade. Species 14 species are accepted. * '' Parashorea aptera'' Slooten * ''Parashorea buchananii'' (C.E.C.Fisch.)

Wilhelm Sulpiz Kurz
Wilhelm Sulpiz Kurz (5 May 1834 – 15 January 1878) was a German botanist and garden director in Bogor, West Java and Kolkata. He worked in India, Indonesia, Burma, Malaysia and Singapore. Life Kurz was born in Augsburg near Munich, and became a pupil of Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius. He studied botany, mineralogy and chemistry at the University of Munich. Family misfortunes in 1854 led him to abandon studies and move to Holland where he worked as an apothecary. He then joined the Dutch Colonial Army medical service and sailed to Java in September 1856. He moved to Banka in March 1857, and in 1859, he joined an expedition to Bori, Sulawesi (Celebes). In September of the same year, he joined the Botanic Garden at Buitenzoorg where he had access to a large library and worked with botanists. In 1864, he was induced by Thomas Anderson, who was visiting the Dutch colonies to examine cinchona cultivation, to return with him to Calcutta as curator of the herbarium, a post he ...

Parashorea Macrophylla
''Parashorea macrophylla'' is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The name ''macrophylla'' is derived from Greek (''makros'' = big and ''phullon'' = leaf) and refers to the species extremely large leaves (30-50 x 16–24 cm). It is endemic to Borneo, being found in Brunei, Sarawak and West Kalimantan. The timber is sold under the trade name of white lauan or white seraya. It occurs in protected areas in Sarawak but elsewhere 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 ....

Taxa Described In 1870
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; : taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion, especially in the context of rank-based (" Linnaean") nomenclature (much less so under phylogenetic nomenclature). If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were presumably set forth in prehistoric times by hunter-gatherers, as suggested by the fairly sophisticated folk taxonomies. Much later, Aristotle, and later still ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Flora Of The Indomalayan Realm
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'' for purposes of specificity. 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 ...

Dipterocarpaceae Genera
Dipterocarpaceae is a family of flowering plants with 22 genera and about 695 known species of mainly lowland tropical forest trees. Their distribution is pantropical, from northern South America to Africa, the Seychelles, India, Indochina, Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines. The greatest diversity of Dipterocarpaceae occurs in Borneo.Ashton, P.S. Dipterocarpaceae. ''Flora Malesiana'', 1982 Series I, 92: 237-552 The largest genera are ''Shorea'' (196 species), ''Hopea'' (104 species), ''Dipterocarpus'' (70 species), and ''Vatica'' (65 species).Ashton, P.S.
