Atlantic Coastal Plain
The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest of the world's five borders of the oceans, oceanic divisions, with an area of about . It covers approximately 17% of Earth#Surface, Earth's surface and about 24% of its water surface area. During the Age of Discovery, it was known for separating the New World of the Americas (North America and South America) from the Old World of Afro-Eurasia (Africa, Asia, and Europe). Through its separation of Afro-Eurasia from the Americas, the Atlantic Ocean has played a central role in the development of human society, globalization, and the histories of many nations. While the Norse colonization of North America, Norse were the first known humans to cross the Atlantic, it was the expedition of Christopher Columbus in 1492 that proved to be the most consequential. Columbus's expedition ushered in an Age of Discovery, age of exploration and colonization of the Americas by European powers, most notably Portuguese Empire, Portugal, Spanish Empire, Sp ...

Dichromena
''Rhynchospora'' (beak-rush or beak-sedge) is a genus of about 400 species of sedges with a cosmopolitan distribution. The genus includes both annual and perennial species, mostly with erect 3-sided stems and 3-ranked leaves. The achenes bear a beak-like tubercule (hence the name “beak-rush”, although the plants are sedges, not rushes) and are sometimes subtended by bristles. Many of the species are similar in vegetative appearance, and mature fruits are needed to make a positive identification. The inflorescences (spikelets) are sometimes subtended by bracts which can be leaf-like or showy. Members of this genus have holocentric chromosomes and have become a model for the study of chromosome evolution and meiotic recombination in holocentric plants. The genomes of ''Rhynchospora pubera'', '' R. breviuscula'', and '' R. tenuis'' have been published in 2022. Ecology ''Rhynchospora'' occurs on all continents except Antarctica, but is most diverse in the neotropics.Thomas, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Centella Asiatica
''Centella asiatica'', commonly known as Indian pennywort, Asiatic pennywort, spadeleaf, coinwort or gotu kola, is a herbaceous, perennial plant in the flowering plant family Apiaceae. It is native to tropical regions of Africa, Asia, Australia, and islands in the western Pacific Ocean. It is consumed as a culinary vegetable and is used in traditional medicine.

It has long-stalked, green, rounded apices which have smooth texture with palmately netted veins. The leaves are borne on pericladial petioles, around . The rootstock consists of rhizomes, growing vertically down. They are cream in color and covered with root hairs. The flowers are white or crimson in color, born in small, rounded bunches (umbels) near the surface of the soil. Each flower is partly enclosed in two g ...

Arundinaria Tecta
''Arundinaria tecta'', also known as switchcane or river cane, is part of the ''Arundinaria'' genus of bamboo species. Native to the Southeastern United States, the ''Arundinaria'' genus is considered to have the only temperate bamboos and has many species that can be hard to differentiate. ''A.tecta'' is often confused with ''A.gigantea'' and ''A.appalachiana'' and may need the combined effort of range, morphology, and genetics to distinguish between the species. Regardless, ''A.tecta'' and the ''Arundinaria'' genus as a whole have many significant cultural and environmental implications in the Southeastern United States. ''Arundinaria tecta'', or switchcane, is a bamboo species native to the Southeast United States, first studied in 1813. ''Arundinaria tecta'' is very similar in appearance to many other ''Arundinaria'' species, making it hard to distinguish between species. It serves as host to several butterfly species. The species typically occurs in palustrine wetlands, sw ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aristida Stricta
''Aristida stricta'', known as wiregrass or pineland three-awn grass, is a warm-season grass native to North America. The species dominates understory vegetation in sandhills and flatwoods coastal plain ecosystems of the Carolinas in the Southeastern United States. Its appearance is characterized by villous bristles ( indument) on each side of its midrib and on the back of the involute leaf blade. Taxonomy and etymology The common name of ''Aristida stricta'', wiregrass, gave rise to the naming of the Wiregrass Region in which it is located. The species was first described by André Michaux in 1803. In 1993, the southern population of the species was split off and described as '' Aristida beyrichiana'' because of geographic and morphological differences. The two species were treated as an "''Aristida stricta'' ''sensu lato'' species complex In biology, a species complex is a group of closely related organisms that are so similar in appearance and other features that the b ...

Andropogon Glomeratus
''Andropogon glomeratus'' is a species of grass known by the common names bushy bluestem and bushy beardgrass. This bunchgrass is native to the Americas, where it is widespread. It has also naturalized in other areas. The genus name ''Andropogon'' comes from the Greek words 'aner' or 'andros' meaning "man" and 'pogon' meaning "beard", in reference to the hairs on the spikelets of certain species in this genus. The specific epithet ''glomeratus'' means "bunched", in reference to the species' bushy and broom-like inflorescences. Description This grass reaches heights approaching two meters (6 feet) and has large, fluffy cream-colored inflorescences. Each dense, tufted inflorescence has several pairs of hairy spikelets. The leaves may reach over a meter in length and are typically blue-green in the summer and coppery-red in the fall. Cultivation This plant does best in moist soils, and is found naturally in areas such as swamps, wet savannas, pine flatwoods, bogs, and fens. It ...

Pine Plantation
A tree plantation, forest plantation, plantation forest, timber plantation, or tree farm is a forest planted for high volume production of wood, usually by planting one type of tree as a monoculture forest. The term ''tree farm'' also is used to refer to tree nurseries and Christmas tree farms. Plantation forestry can produce a high volume of wood in a short period of time. Plantations are grown by state forestry authorities (for example, the Forestry Commission in Britain) and/or the paper and wood industries and other private landowners (such as Weyerhaeuser, Rayonier, and Sierra Pacific Industries in the United States or Asia Pulp & Paper in Indonesia). Christmas trees are often grown on plantations, and in southern and southeastern Asia, teak plantations have replaced the natural forest. Industrial plantations are actively managed for the commercial production of forest products. Industrial plantations are usually large-scale. Individual blocks are usually even-aged and ...

Pinus Elliottii
''Pinus elliottii'', commonly known as slash pine,Family, P. P. (1990). Pinus elliottii Engelm. slash pine. ''Silvics of North America: Conifers'', (654), 338. is a conifer tree native to the Southeastern United States. Slash pine is named after the "slashes" – swampy ground overgrown with trees and bushes – that constitute its habitat. Other common names include swamp pine, yellow slash pine, and southern Florida pine. Slash pine has two different varieties: ''P. e.'' var. ''elliottii'' and ''P. e.'' var. ''densa''. Historically, slash pine has been an important economic timber for naval stores, turpentine, and resin. The wood of slash pine is known for its unusually high strength, especially for a pine. It exceeds many hardwoods and is even comparable to very dense woods such as black ironwood. Description and taxonomy This tree is fast-growing, but not very long-lived by pine standards (to 200 years). It reaches heights of with a trunk diameter of . The leaves are need ...
