Rehderodendron Kweichowense
''Rehderodendron'' is a genus of five species of flowering plants in the family Styracaceae, native to southeastern Asia, from southwestern China south to Myanmar and Vietnam.Flora of China''Rehderodendron''/ref> The genus name of ''Rehderodendron'' is in honour of Alfred Rehder (1863–1949), a German-American botanical taxonomist and dendrologist who worked at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University. It was first described and published in Sinensia Vol.2 on page 109 in 1932. The species are small deciduous trees growing to 10–15 m tall. ;Species * ''Rehderodendron gongshanense'' Y.C.Tang * ''Rehderodendron indochinense'' H.L.Li * ''Rehderodendron kwangtungense'' Chun * '' Rehderodendron kweichowense'' Hu * '' Rehderodendron macrocarpum'' Hu * '' Rehderodendron truongsonense'' Zhao, Wan-Yi, Fritsch, Peter W., Do, Van Truong, Fan, Qiang Fossil record 40 fossil endocarps of †''Rehderodendron custodum'' from the early Miocene, have been found in the Kristina Mine at Hrád ...

Hsen Hsu Hu
Hu Xiansu or Hu Hsien-Hsu (, 24 May 1894 – 16 July 1968), was a Chinese botanist and an influential traditional scholar of his time. He was a founder of plant taxonomy in China and a pioneer of modern botany research in the country. Education and career Hu Xiansu studied preparatory course at Imperial University of Peking in 1909. In 1912 after the Xinhai Revolution, 1911 Revolution he went to America, and graduated from University of California, Berkeley in 1916. In 1918, he became a faculty member of National Nanking Higher Normal School and then National Southeastern University (later renamed National Central University and Nanking University). He went to America again in 1923 and received a doctor's degree from Harvard University in 1925. His wife died in Nanking in 1926, then he resigned from Department of Biology of Southeastern University and became a full-time research fellow at Institute of Biology of China Science Society. He cofounded Fan Memorial Institute of Biology ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rehderodendron Macrocarpum
''Rehderodendron macrocarpum'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Styracaceae, native to southwestern China ( Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan) and northern Vietnam, where it grows at altitudes of 1,000–1,500 m. It is threatened by habitat loss.Flora of China''Rehderodendron macrocarpum''/ref> It is a deciduous small tree growing to 7–10 m tall, with a trunk up to 25 cm diameter. The leaves are alternate, simple, 7–13 cm long and 3.5–5.5 cm broad, oblong-ovate to oblong-lanceolate, with a finely serrated margin, and a reddish 7–15 mm long petiole. The flowers are 15–18 mm long, with five white petals; they are produced in cymes of four to eight together, in late spring. The fruit is a dry, woody drupe 5–7 cm long and 2.5–3 cm broad, containing a single (rarely two) seed 2–5 cm long and 5 mm broad.Rushforth, K. (1999). ''Trees of Britain and Europe''. Collins .

Flora Of Southeast China
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''. 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 first made by Jules Thurma ...

Plants Described In 1932
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 the abili ...

Taxonomy Articles Created By Polbot
Taxonomy is the practice and science of categorization or classification. A taxonomy (or taxonomical classification) is a scheme of classification, especially a hierarchical classification, in which things are organized into groups or types. Among other things, a taxonomy can be used to organize and index knowledge (stored as documents, articles, videos, etc.), such as in the form of a library classification system, or a search engine taxonomy, so that users can more easily find the information they are searching for. Many taxonomies are hierarchies (and thus, have an intrinsic tree structure), but not all are. Originally, taxonomy referred only to the categorisation of organisms or a particular categorisation of organisms. In a wider, more general sense, it may refer to a categorisation of things or concepts, as well as to the principles underlying such a categorisation. Taxonomy organizes taxonomic units known as "taxa" (singular "taxon")." Taxonomy is different from ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
