The Thymelaeaceae are a cosmopolitan family (biology), family of flowering plants composed of 50 genera (listed below) and 898 species.Zachary S. Rogers (2009 onwards)A World Checklist of Thymelaeaceae (version 1) Missouri Botanical Garden Website, St. Louis. It was established in 1789 by Antoine Laurent de Jussieu.Antoine Laurent de Jussieu ''Genera Plantarum'', page 76. Herrisant & Barrois, Paris. The Thymelaeaceae are mostly trees and shrubs, with a few vines and herbaceous plants. Description Several conspicuous or unusual traits are characteristic of the family (when ''Tepuianthus'' is excluded). The bark is usually shiny and fibrous, with strips of bark peeling down the side of broken stems.Ernst Schmidt, Mervyn Lotter and Warren McCleland The number of stamens is usually once or twice the number of calyx (botany), calyx lobes; when twice, they often occur in two well separated series. Exceptions include ''Gonystylus'', which may have up to 100 stamens, and ''Pimelea'', w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Malvales
The Malvales are an Order (biology), order of flowering plants. As circumscribed by Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, APG II-system, the order includes about 6000 species within nine Family (biology), families. The order is placed in the eurosids II, which are part of the eudicots. The plants are mostly shrubs and trees; most of its families have a cosmopolitan distribution in the tropics and subtropics, with limited expansion into temperate regions. An interesting distribution occurs in Madagascar, where three endemic families of Malvales (Sphaerosepalaceae, Sarcolaenaceae and Diegodendraceae) occur. Many species of Malvaceae, ''sensu lato'' (in the broad sense), are valued for their wood, with that of ''Ochroma'' (balsa) being known for its lightness, and that of ''Tilia'' (lime, linden, or basswood) as a popular wood for carving. Fruit of the cacao tree (''Theobroma cacao'') are used as an ingredient for chocolate. Kola nuts (genus Cola (plant), ''Cola'') are notable for their high ...

Thymelaea
''Thymelaea'' (the sparrow-worts) is a genus of about 30 species of evergreen shrubs and herbs in the flowering plant family Thymelaeaceae, native to the Canary Islands, the Mediterranean region, north to central Europe, and east to central Asia. Etymology The genus name ''Thymelaea'' is a combination of the Greek name for the herb thyme θύμος (thúmos) and that for the olive ἐλαία (elaía) - in reference to its thyme-like foliage and olive-like fruit; while the English name Sparrow-wort (used by Thomas Green in his 18th century ''Universal Herbal'') is a translation of the name of the genus ''Passerina (plant), Passerina'' (in which ''Thymelaea'' was formerly placed), derived from the word ''passer'' "House sparrow, sparrow" - given the plants in reference to a perceived similarity of the shape of the fruit to a sparrow's beak.''The Royal Horticultural Society Dictionary of Gardening'' ed.
