<i>Cycas</i> genus of cycads in the family Cycadaceae

Cycas is a genus of plants belonging to a very ancient lineage, the Cycadophyta, which are not closely related to palms, ferns, trees or any other modern group of plants. They are evergreen perennials which achieved their maximum diversity in the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, when they were distributed almost worldwide. At the end of the Cretaceous, when the non-avian dinosaurs became extinct, so did most of the cycas in the Northern Hemisphere.

<i>Asteromyrtus</i> Genus of flowering plants

Asteromyrtus is a genus of flowering plants in the Myrtaceae family. Asteromyrtus was described as a genus in 1843. It is closely related to Callistemon and Melaleuca. The genus was subsequently subsumed into Melaleuca and Sinoga, but was reinstated by Lyndley Craven in 1988 to accommodate seven species, all of which are tropical shrubs or small trees native to New Guinea, Maluku, or northern Australia.

  1. Asteromyrtus angustifolia - N Queensland
  2. Asteromyrtus arnhemica - N Northern Territory, N Western Australia
  3. Asteromyrtus brassii - S New Guinea, N Queensland

<i>Ammannia baccifera</i> Species of flowering plant

Ammannia baccifera, also known as the monarch redstem or blistering ammannia is a species in the family Lythraceae. It is widespread in the tropical regions of Asia, America and Africa. It has been naturalized in Spain. It is annual and herbaceous, and can be found in marshes, swamps, rice fields and water courses at low elevations. It is considered endangered in Israel, but because it is widespread and common elsewhere, the IUCN considers it to be 'Least Concern'. The plant Ammannia baccifera Linn. is erect, branched, smooth, slender, annual, more or less purplish herb 10 to 50 centimeters in height. The stems are somewhat 4-angled. The leaves are oblong, oblanceolate, or narrowly elliptic, about 3.5 centimeters long – those on the branches very numerous, small, and 1 to 1.5 centimeters long – with narrowed base and pointed or somewhat rounded tip. The flowers are small, about 1.2 millimeters long, greenish or purplish, and borne in dense axillary clusters. The capsules are nearly spherical, depressed, about 1.2 millimeters in diameter, purple, and irregularly circumscribes above the middle. The seeds are black.
