Aristolochia obliqua is a species of plant in the family Aristolochiaceae. It is endemic to China.
The Aristolochiaceae are a family, the birthwort family, of flowering plants with seven genera and about 400 known species belonging to the order Piperales. The type genus is Aristolochia L.
Cornus is a genus of about 30–60 species of woody plants in the family Cornaceae, commonly known as dogwoods, which can generally be distinguished by their blossoms, berries, and distinctive bark. Most are deciduous trees or shrubs, but a few species are nearly herbaceous perennial subshrubs, and a few of the woody species are evergreen. Several species have small heads of inconspicuous flowers surrounded by an involucre of large, typically white petal-like bracts, while others have more open clusters of petal-bearing flowers. The various species of dogwood are native throughout much of temperate and boreal Eurasia and North America, with China, Japan, and the southeastern United States being particularly rich in native species.
Asarum is a genus of plants in the birthwort family Aristolochiaceae, commonly known as wild ginger.
Aristolochia is a large plant genus with over 500 species that is the type genus of the family Aristolochiaceae. Its members are commonly known as birthwort, pipevine or Dutchman's pipe and are widespread and occur in the most diverse climates. Some species, like A. utriformis and A. westlandii, are threatened with extinction.
Battus philenor, the pipevine swallowtail or blue swallowtail, is a swallowtail butterfly found in North America and Central America. This butterfly is black with iridescent-blue hindwings. They are found in many different habitats, but are most commonly found in forests. Caterpillars are often black or red, and feed on compatible plants of the genus Aristolochia. They are known for sequestering acids from the plants they feed on in order to defend themselves from predators by being poisonous when consumed. The adults feed on the nectar of a variety of flowers. Some species of Aristolochia are toxic to the larvae, typically tropical varieties. While enthusiasts have led citizen efforts to conserve pipevine swallowtails in their neighborhoods on the West coast, the butterfly has not been the subject of a formal program in conservation or protected in legislation. The butterfly is however of "Special Concern" in Michigan, which is on the Northern limit of its range.
Stephania is a genus of flowering plants in the family Menispermaceae, native to eastern and southern Asia and Australia. They are herbaceous perennial vines growing to around four metres tall, with a large, woody caudex. The leaves are arranged spirally on the stem, and are peltate, with the leaf petiole attached near the centre of the leaf. The name Stephania comes from the Greek, "a crown". This refers to the anthers being arranged in a crown like manner.
Aristolochia tagala is commonly known as Indian birthwort and locally as Dutchman's pipe.
Aristolochia cucurbitifolia is a species of plant in the family Aristolochiaceae. It is endemic to Taiwan.
Aristolochia cucurbitoides is a species of plant in the family Aristolochiaceae. It is endemic to China.
Aristolochia delavayi is a species of flowering plant in the family Aristolochiaceae. It is endemic to China.
Aristolochia hainanensis is a species of plant in the family Aristolochiaceae. It is endemic to China.
Aristolochia scytophylla is a species of flowering plant in the family Aristolochiaceae. It is endemic to China.
Aristolochia thwaitesii is a species of plant in the family Aristolochiaceae. It is endemic to China.
Aristolochia tuberosa is a species of plant in the family Aristolochiaceae. It is endemic to China.
Aristolochia utriformis is a species of plant in the family Aristolochiaceae. It is endemic to China. It is found in forests at about 1900 meters in Yunnan Province. The plants are climbing herbs or shrubs that have pointed leaves with heart shaped bases. The yellow-green flowers are tube shaped and bent. They hang from the base of a leaf.
Aristolochia westlandii is a species of plant in the family Aristolochiaceae. It is found in China and Hong Kong, in valley forests in Guangdong Province at an elevation of 300 to 800 metres. The leaves are long, narrow and pointed. The flowers are bent tubes from 10–15 centimetres (3.9–5.9 in) long that grow from the base of a leaf. They are yellow with purple veins and blotches.
Aristolochia yunnanensis is a species of plant in the family Aristolochiaceae. It is endemic to China.
Ficus obliqua, commonly known as the small-leaved fig, is a tree in the family Moraceae, native to eastern Australia, New Guinea, eastern Indonesia to Sulawesi and islands in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. Previously known for many years as Ficus eugenioides, it is a banyan of the genus Ficus, which contains around 750 species worldwide in warm climates, including the edible fig. Beginning life as a seedling, which grows on other plants (epiphyte) or on rocks (lithophyte), F. obliqua can grow to 60 m (200 ft) high and nearly as wide with a pale grey buttressed trunk, and glossy green leaves.
Aristolochia macrophylla, Dutchman's pipe or pipevine, is a vine native to the eastern United States. Aristolochia macrophylla belongs to the plant family Aristolochiaceae and is found primarily along the Cumberland Mountains and Blue Ridge Mountains in the eastern portion of the United States, as well as Ontario, Canada. This species of plant has received considerable attention in the past few decades for the discovery of a potent compound called aristolochic acid, which has been the focus of debate due its harmful side effects.
Hakea obliqua, commonly known as needles and corks, is a shrub in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to an area in the Wheatbelt, Great Southern and Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia.
