Thrinax Excelsa3
''Thrinax'' is a genus in the palm family, native to the Caribbean. It is closely related to the genera '' Coccothrinax'', '' Hemithrinax'' and ''Zombia''. Flowers are small, bisexual and are borne on small stalks. Taxonomy In the first edition of ''Genera Palmarum'' (1987), Natalie Uhl and John Dransfield placed the genus ''Thrinax'' in subfamily Coryphoideae, tribe Corypheae and subtribe Thrinacinae. Subsequent phylogenetic analyses showed that the Old World and New World members of Thrinacinae are not closely related and as a consequence, ''Thrinax'' and related genera were transferred into their own tribe, Cryosophileae. In 2008, ''Leucothrinax morrisii'' (formerly ''T. morrisii'') was split from ''Thrinax'' after phylogenetic studies showed that its inclusion in ''Thrinax'' would render that genus paraphyletic In taxonomy (general), taxonomy, a group is paraphyletic if it consists of the group's most recent common ancestor, last common ancestor and most of its desc ...

Carolus Linnaeus The Younger
Carl Linnaeus the Younger, Carolus Linnaeus the Younger, Carl von Linné den yngre (Swedish; abbreviated Carl von Linné d. y.), or ''Linnaeus filius'' (Latin for ''Linnaeus the son''; abbreviated L.fil. (outdated) or L.f. (modern) as a botanical authority; 20 January 1741 – 1 November 1783) was a Swedish naturalist. His names distinguish him from his father, the pioneering taxonomist Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778). Biography Carl Linnaeus the Younger was enrolled at the University of Uppsala at the age of nine and was taught science by his father's students, including Pehr Löfling, Daniel Solander, and Johan Peter Falk. In 1763, aged just 22, he succeeded his father as the head of Practical Medicine at Uppsala. His promotion to professor — without taking exams or defending a thesis — caused resentment among his colleagues. His work was modest in comparison to that of his father. His best-known work is the ''Supplementum Plantarum systematis vegetabilium'' of 1781 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sabinaria
''Sabinaria magnifica'' is a species of palm tree and the only member of the genus ''Sabinaria''. Native to the Darién Gap on the border between Colombia and Panama, it grows from tall with large, deeply-divided leaf blades. It has been described as "striking", "spectacular" and "beautiful" by taxonomists. Although known by local mule drivers, it was first collected in April 2013 by Saúl Hoyos, and described scientifically by Colombian palm experts Gloria Galeano and Rodrigo Bernal who named the genus ''Sabinaria'' after their daughter. Despite being locally abundant, the limited range occupied by the species makes it vulnerable to habitat destruction. Description ''Sabinaria magnifica'' is a single-stemmed palm tree with palmately-compound leaves. The trunk is tall and in diameter. Leaves are borne at the end of a long petiole; the combined length of the leaf sheath and petiole averages . Trees bear 20 to 35 leaves which are between in diameter. The leaves of ''S. ...

Subtribe
Subtribe is a taxonomic category ranking which is below the rank of tribe and above genus. The standard suffix for a subtribe is -ina (in animals) or -inae (in plants). The early use of this word is from 19th century. An example of subtribe is Hyptidinae that contains approximately 400 accepted species distributed in 19 genera.

Corypheae
Corypheae is a tribe of palm trees in the subfamily Coryphoideae. In previous classifications, tribe Corypheae included four subtribes: Coryphinae, Livistoninae, Thrinacinae and Sabalinae, but recent phylogenetic studies have led to the genera within these subtribes being transferred into other tribes ( Chuniophoeniceae, Trachycarpeae, Cryosophileae Cryosophileae is a tribe of palms in the subfamily Coryphoideae. The tribe ranges from southern South America, through Central America, into Mexico and the Caribbean. It includes New World genera formerly included in the tribe Thrinacinae ... and Sabaleae). Tribe Corypheae is now restricted to the genus '' Corypha'' alone. References Monocot tribes Monotypic plant taxa {{Corypheae-stub ...

Tribe (biology)
In biology, a tribe is a taxonomic rank above genus, but below family (biology), family and subfamily. It is sometimes subdivided into subtribes. By convention, all taxonomic ranks from genus upwards are capitalized, including both tribe and subtribe. In zoology, the standard ending for the name of a zoological tribe is "-ini". Examples include the tribes Goat-antelope#Tribe Caprini, Caprini (goat-antelopes), Hominini (hominins), Bombini (bumblebees), and Thunnini (tunas). The tribe Hominini is divided into subtribes by some scientists; subtribe Hominina then comprises "humans". The standard ending for the name of a zoological subtribe is "-ina". In botany, the standard ending for the name of a botanical tribe is "-eae". Examples include the tribes Acalypheae and Scilloideae#Hyacintheae, Hyacintheae. The tribe Hyacintheae is divided into subtribes, including the subtribe Massoniinae. The standard ending for the name of a botanical subtribe is "-inae". In bacteriology, the form ...

Coryphoideae
The Coryphoideae is one of five subfamilies in the palm family, Arecaceae. It contains all of the genera with palmate leaves, excepting '' Mauritia'', '' Mauritiella'' and '' Lepidocaryum,'' all of subfamily Calamoideae, tribe Lepidocaryeae, subtribe Mauritiinae. However, all Coryphoid palm leaves have induplicate (V-shaped) leaf folds (excepting ''Guihaia''), while Calamoid palms have reduplicate (inverted V-shaped) leaf folds. Pinnate leaves do occur in Coryphoideae, in '' Phoenix'', '' Arenga'', '' Wallichia'' and bipinnate in '' Caryota''. Classification Subfamily Coryphoideae is divided into 8 tribes: * Sabaleae ** ''Sabal'' * Cryosophileae ** ''Schippia'' ** '' Trithrinax'' ** '' Zombia'' ** ''Coccothrinax'' ** '' Hemithrinax'' ** ''Thrinax'' ** '' Chelyocarpus'' ** '' Cryosophila'' ** '' Itaya'' ** '' Sabinaria'' * Phoeniceae ** '' Phoenix'' * Trachycarpeae ** '' Chamaerops'' ** ''Guihaia'' ** '' Trachycarpus'' ** '' Rhapidophyllum'' ** '' Maxburretia'' ** ''Rhapis ...

Subfamily
In biological classification, a subfamily ( Latin: ', plural ') is an auxiliary (intermediate) taxonomic rank, next below family but more inclusive than genus. Standard nomenclature rules end subfamily botanical names with "-oideae", and zoological names with "-inae".

John Dransfield
John Dransfield (born 1945) is an honorary research fellow and former head of palm research at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, United Kingdom, as well as being an authority on the phylogenetic classification of palms. Dransfield has written or contributed to several books on palms, notably both the first and second editions of '' Genera Palmarum''. The first edition was the standard reference for palm evolution and classification and the second edition, expanding on the original, is expected to achieve that same benchmark. He studied at the University of Cambridge, B.A.(1967), M.A. (1970) and Ph.D. (1970) before working at Kew Gardens. In 2004, Dransfield was awarded the Linnean Medal, an annual award given by the Linnean Society of London. The genus '' Dransfieldia'' was named for him, as was the species ''Adonidia dransfieldii ''Adonidia dransfieldii'' is a species of ''Adonidia'' palm native to Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia.

Genera Palmarum
''Genera Palmarum'' is a botany reference book that gives a detailed overview of the systematic biology of the palm family ( Arecaceae). The first edition of ''Genera Palmarum'' was published in 1987. The second edition was published in 2008, with a reprint published in 2014. ''Genera Palmarum'' is currently the most detailed monograph on palm taxonomy and systematics. History Beginnings When Liberty Hyde Bailey, an American horticulturist and botanist who founded the L. H. Bailey Hortorium at Cornell University, began studying palms in the early 1900s, about 700 species had been identified. The number reached 1,000 by 1946, the rise due in large part to his intensive study of the family. Ill health finally forced Bailey to discontinue collecting abroad in 1949, at the age of 91. He continued to study, compare, and write about his palm specimens. His ultimate goal was to produce an authoritative guide to all palms, titled ''Genera Palmarum''. Harold E. Moore, Jr. (1917–1980) ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Leucothrinax
''Leucothrinax morrisii'', the Key thatch palm, is a small palm which is native to the Greater Antilles (except Jamaica), northern Lesser Antilles, The Bahamas and Florida and the Florida Keys in the United States. Until 2008 it was known as ''Thrinax morrisii''. It was split from the genus ''Thrinax'' after phylogenetic studies showed that its inclusion in ''Thrinax'' would render that genus paraphyletic. The generic name combines ''leuco'' (in reference to the whitish colour of its flowering stalks and the undersides of its leaves) with ''thrinax''. Common names ''Leucothrinax morrisii'' is known as the "Key thatch palm" or the "brittle thatch palm" in the United States. In Anguilla it is called the "broom palm" or "buffalo-top", in The Bahamas, ''miraguano'' in Cuba and ''palma de escoba'' in Puerto Rico. Other common names include "small-fruited thatch palm", ''yaray'', ''pandereta'', ''palma de petate'', ''palma de cogollo'', ''guano de sierra'', and ''palmita''. Desc ...
