Stenanthera Lacsalaria
''Stenanthera'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Ericaceae. Most are low shrubs with leaves that are paler on the lower surface, tube-shaped flowers and with the fruit a drupe. There are three species, formerly included in the genus ''Astroloma''. Description Plants in the genus ''Stenanthera'' are mainly low shrubs with leaves that are paler on the lower surface where the veins are almost parallel to palmate. The flowers are borne in leaf axils and have both male and female organs. There are bracts and bracteoles and the base of the flower and the petals are joined to form a more or less cylindrical tube. The petal lobes are triangular to egg-shaped and erect or turned backwards, usually with hairs on the inner side. The anthers protrude from the petal tube but are hidden by the petal lobes. The style is thread-like and equal in length to, or longer than the petal tube. The fruit is a drupe with a hard endocarp. Taxonomy and naming The genus ''Stenanthera'' was first ...

Style (botany)
In botany, the style of an angiosperm flower is an organ of variable length that connects the ovary to the stigma. The style does not contain ovules; these are limited to the region of the gynoecium (female organs of the flower) called the "ovary". Structure The style is a narrow extension of the ovary, usually pointing upwards, connecting the ovary to the stigmatic papillae. It may be absent in some plants; in this case, it is referred to as a sessile stigma. Styles generally resemble more or less long tubes. The style can be open (with few cells occupying the central part, or even none), featuring a central canal that may be filled with mucilage. Alternatively, the style can be closed (completely filled with cells). Most plants with syncarpous pistils ( monocotyledons and some eudicotys) have open styles, whereas many eudicots and grasses have closed (solid) styles containing specialized secretory tissues, which connect the stigma to the center of the ovary. These tissu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stenanthera Pungens
''Stenanthera pungens'' is a species of shrub that is endemic to a small area in the south-west of Western Australia. It was initially described in 2002 by Gregory John Keighery who gave it the name ''Conostephium pungens'' and published the description in the ''Nordic Journal of Botany''. In 2016, Michael Clyde Hislop changed the name to ''Stenanthera pungens'' and the change has been accepted by the Australian Plant Census. It is only known from the type location where it grows on gypsum dunes near a salt lake east of Nyabing in the Mallee biogeographic region. ''Stenanthera pungens'' is classified as " Priority Two" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife meaning that it is poorly known and from only one or a few locations. Specimens of ''S. pungens'' have the distinction of being the 800,000th to be added to the Western Australian Herbarium The Western Australian Herbarium is the state Herbarium, situated in Perth, the capital of Western Aus ...

Otto Wilhelm Sonder
Otto Wilhelm Sonder (18 June 1812, Bad Oldesloe – 21 November 1881) was a German botanist and pharmacist. Life A native of Holstein, Sonder studied at Kiel University, where he sat pharmaceutical examinations in 1835, before becoming the proprietor of a pharmacy in Hamburg from 1841 to 1878. In 1846 he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Königsberg and was elected a member of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina for his contribution to the field of botany. Herbarium From a young age, Sonder showed considerable interest and skill in Botany. He often embarked on botanical excursions in his local area early in the morning before heading to work at the pharmacy. Throughout his life, Sonder met and conversed with many eminent botanists of the era. He amassed an extensive botanical collection that contained hundreds of thousands of herbarium specimens representing all major plant groups and spanning all parts of the globe. The collection is partic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Plants Of The World Online
Plants of the World Online (POWO) is an online taxonomic database published by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. History Following the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew launched Plants of the World Online in March 2017 with the goal of creating an exhaustive online database of all seed-bearing plants worldwide. (Govaerts wrongly speaks of "Convention for Botanical Diversity (CBD)). The initial focus was on tropical African flora, particularly flora ''Zambesiaca'', flora of West and East Tropical Africa. Since March 2024, the website has displayed AI-generated predictions of the extinction risk for each plant.
