En route to Brazil he made what was intended to be a brief visit to the Canary Islands, but he stayed for a considerable time, returning after his Brazil expedition. The results can be seen in the nine-volume ''Natural History of the Canary Islands, Histoire Naturelle des Iles Canaries'' (''Natural History of the Canary Islands''), which he co-authored with Sabin Berthelot. In company with Berthelot, who had lived on the islands for some time, Webb collected specimens on the islands between 1828 and 1830.

Prunus Hippophaeoides
''Prunus'' is a genus of flowering trees and shrubs from the family Rosaceae. The genus includes plums, cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots and almonds (collectively stonefruit). The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution, being native to the temperate regions of North America, the neotropics of South America, and temperate and tropical regions of Eurasia and Africa, There are about 340 accepted species . Many members of the genus are widely cultivated for their sweet, fleshy fruit and for decorative purposes of their flowers. ''Prunus'' fruit are drupes, or stone fruits. The fleshy mesocarp surrounding the endocarp is edible while the endocarp itself forms a hard, inedible shell called the pyrena ("stone" or "pit"). This shell encloses the seed (or "kernel"), which is edible in some species (such as sweet almonds), but poisonous in many others (such as apricot kernels). Besides being eaten off the hand, most ''Prunus'' fruit are also commonly used in processing, such as j ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Prunus Microcarpa
''Prunus microcarpa'', the small-fruited cherry, is a species of ''Prunus'' native to Western Asia and the Caucasus. Description ''Prunus microcarpa'' is a deciduous bushy shrub with rigid branchlets. Its glabrous leaves are ovate to elliptic. ''Prunus microcarpa'' produces white to pale pink hermaphrodite flowers in April. The flowers are solitary or in pairs and are 1 cm across. Its 1 cm-long fruit is ovoid and turns yellow to orange, red or black when ripe and may be toxic if consumed excessively. Uses The shrub's fruit can be used to obtain a dark grey to green dye, and a green dye can be obtained from its leaves. Plants in the ''Prunus'' species contain amygdalin and prunasin, substances which break down in water to produce hydrogen cyanide. Hydrogen cyanide is a colorless, extremely poisonous chemical that gives almonds their characteristic flavour. These substances are found mainly in the leaves and seed and can be detected by the bitter taste. It is usually p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
