Thomasia × Formosa
''Thomasia'' is a genus of thirty-one species of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae. Plants in this genus are small shrubs that are Endemism, endemic to the south-west of Western Australia, apart from ''Thomasia petalocalyx, T. petalocalyx'' that is native to Victoria and South Australia. The leaves are Leaf#Divisions of the blade, simple with leaf-like stipules at the base of the Petiole (botany), petiole, the flowers Plant reproductive morphology#Bisexual , bisexual with five papery, petal-like sepals, usually five petals and five stamens opposite the petals. The fruit is a Capsule (botany), capsule covered with star-like hairs. Taxonomy The genus ''Thomasia'' was first formally described in 1821 by Jaques Étienne Gay in ''Mémoires du Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle''. The name ''Thomasia'' honours Pierre Thomas, his son Abraham, and Abraham's sons Philippe, Louis and Emmanuel, a family of Swiss plant collectors.

Capsule (botany)
In botany, a capsule is a type of simple, dry, though rarely fleshy dehiscent fruit produced by many species of angiosperms ( flowering plants). Origins and structure The capsule (Latin: ''capsula'', small box) is derived from a compound (multicarpellary) ovary. A capsule is a structure composed of two or more carpels. In (flowering plants), the term locule (or cell) is used to refer to a chamber within the fruit. Depending on the number of locules in the ovary, fruit can be classified as uni-locular (unilocular), bi-locular, tri-locular or multi-locular. The number of locules present in a gynoecium may be equal to or less than the number of carpels. The locules contain the ovules or seeds and are separated by septa. Dehiscence In most cases the capsule is dehiscent, i.e. at maturity, it splits apart (dehisces) to release the seeds within. A few capsules are indehiscent, for example those of '' Adansonia digitata'', '' Alphitonia'', and '' Merciera''. Capsules are often ...

Thomasia Gardneri
''Thomasia gardneri'', commonly known as Mount Holland thomasia, is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae and was endemic to a restricted area of Western Australia, but is now considered to be extinct. It was a low, erect shrub with scaly, narrowly egg-shaped leaves and racemes of pink flowers. Description ''Thomasia gardneri'' was an erect, woody shrub that grew to a height of up to , its branchlets, leaves and flower heads covered with small scales surrounded by short hairs. The leaves were arranged alternately, narrowly egg-shaped, long and wide on a petiole long. The flowers were arranged on the ends of branches in racemes of one or two flowers on a peduncle long, each flower on a pedicel about long. The sepals were pink and about long, the petals papery and about long, and the 5 anthers about long. Flowering was observed in September. Taxonomy ''Thomasia gardneri'' was first formally described in 1974 by Susan Paust in the journal ''Nuytsia'' from spe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
