Staudtia Pterocarpa
''Staudtia pterocarpa'', commonly known as pau-vermelho, is a species of plant in the family Myristicaceae. It is a tree that is endemic to São Tomé Island, sometimes growing to a height of with a trunk diameter of at chest height. It has characteristic reddish brown, flaky bark which has been used to treat medical conditions such as bruising. The timber is valuable in construction but the species is threatened by logging.

Myristicaceae
The Myristicaceae are a family of flowering plants native to Africa, Asia, Pacific islands, and the Americas and has been recognized by most taxonomists. It is sometimes called the "nutmeg family", after its most famous member, '' Myristica fragrans'', the source of the spices nutmeg and mace. The best known genera are '' Myristica'' in Asia and ''Virola'' in the Neotropics. The family consists of about 21 genera with about 520 species of trees, shrubs and rarely lianas ('' Pycnanthus'') found in tropical forests around the world. Most of the species are large trees that are valued in the timber industry. Description They are typically trees with reddish sap and distinctive pagoda-like growth (known as myristicaceous branching) in which horizontal branching only occurs at certain nodes along the main axis of the trunk, each node separated by a large gap where no branching occurs. All genera are dioecious, except '' Endocomia'' and some '' Iryanthera''. The inner bark is usual ...

Plant
Plants are predominantly Photosynthesis, photosynthetic eukaryotes of the Kingdom (biology), 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 Glaucophyte, Glaucophyta, and consists of the green algae and Embryophyte, Embryophyta (land plants). The latter includes the flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, ferns and Fern ally, 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 colo ...
