Leucas penduliflora is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is found only in Yemen. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland.
The Lamiaceae or Labiatae are a family of flowering plants commonly known as the mint or deadnettle or sage family. Many of the plants are aromatic in all parts and include widely used culinary herbs like basil, mint, rosemary, sage, savory, marjoram, oregano, hyssop, thyme, lavender, and perilla, as well as other medicinal herbs such as catnip, salvia, bee balm, wild dagga, and oriental motherwort. Some species are shrubs, trees, or, rarely, vines. Many members of the family are widely cultivated, not only for their aromatic qualities, but also their ease of cultivation, since they are readily propagated by stem cuttings. Besides those grown for their edible leaves, some are grown for decorative foliage. Others are grown for seed, such as Salvia hispanica (chia), or for their edible tubers, such as Plectranthus edulis, Plectranthus esculentus, Plectranthus rotundifolius, and Stachys affinis. Many are also grown ornamentally, notably coleus, Plectranthus, and many Salvia species and hybrids.
The beluga whale is an Arctic and sub-Arctic cetacean. It is one of two members of the family Monodontidae, along with the narwhal, and the only member of the genus Delphinapterus. It is also known as the white whale, as it is the only cetacean to regularly occur with this colour; the sea canary, due to its high-pitched calls; and the melonhead, though that more commonly refers to the melon-headed whale, which is an oceanic dolphin.
The bull shark, also known as the "Zambezi shark" in Africa, and "Lake Nicaragua shark" in Nicaragua, is a requiem shark commonly found worldwide in warm, shallow waters along coasts and in rivers. It is known for its aggressive nature, and presence in warm, shallow brackish and freshwater systems including estuaries and rivers.
The Ganges shark is a critically endangered species of requiem shark found in the Ganges River and the Brahmaputra River of Bangladesh and India. It is often confused with the more common bull shark, which also inhabits the Ganges River and is sometimes incorrectly referred to as the Ganges shark. Unlike bull sharks, which need to migrate to salt water to reproduce, species in the genus Glyphis are true river sharks. The genus is currently considered to contain three recent species; genetic evidence has shown that both the Borneo river shark and Irrawaddy river shark should be regarded as synonyms of the Ganges shark, expanding the range of the species to Pakistan, Myanmar, Borneo, and Java. The species remains poorly known and very rare.
Leucas is a genus of plants in the family Lamiaceae, first described by Robert Brown in 1810. It contains over 200 species, widespread over much of Africa, and southern and eastern Asia with a few species in Queensland and on various islands in the Indian Ocean.
The Cumberland Sound belugas are a distinct population of belugas residing in the Cumberland Sound region of the Labrador Sea off the coast of Nunavut, Canada Individuals of this population reside in the sound year-round, congregating in its extreme north exclusively at Clearwater Fjord during the summer for calving. The Cumberland Sound beluga population is considered fairly isolated and genetically distinct from other beluga populations, with a notable number of haplotypes and microsatellite loci not found elsewhere.
The pigeye shark or Java shark is an uncommon species of requiem shark, in the family Carcharhinidae, found in the warm coastal waters of the eastern Atlantic and western Indo-Pacific. It prefers shallow, murky environments with soft bottoms, and tends to roam within a fairly localised area. With its bulky grey body, small eyes, and short, blunt snout, the pigeye shark looks almost identical to the better-known bull shark. The two species differ in vertebral count, the relative sizes of the dorsal fins, and other subtle traits. This shark typically reaches lengths of 1.9–2.5 m (6.2–8.2 ft).
Crudia penduliflora is a species of plant in the family Fabaceae. It is a tree endemic to Peninsular Malaysia. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Cariniana penduliflora is a species of woody plant in the family Lecythidaceae. It is found only in Brazil. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Leucas flagellifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is found only in Yemen. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland.
Leucas hagghierensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is found only in Yemen. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests.
Leucas kishenensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is found only in Yemen. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland.
Leucas samhaensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is found only in Yemen. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland.
Leucas spiculifera is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is found only in Yemen. Its natural habitat is rocky areas.
Leucas virgata is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is found only in Yemen. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical dry shrubland.
Aoranthe penduliflora is a species of flowering plant in the family Rubiaceae. It is endemic to Tanzania where it is found in the Usambara Mountains. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by logging, mining, and agriculture. It grows as a tree with simple, opposite leaves. The flowers are cream and red, and the fruit ripens orange.
Chalybea penduliflora is a species of plant in the family Melastomataceae. It is endemic to Caquetá, and Huila in Colombia.
Mimusops penduliflora is a species of plant in the family Sapotaceae. It is endemic to Tanzania.
Emmenanthe is a monotypic genus which contains only one species, Emmenanthe penduliflora, known by the common name whispering bells. This grassland wildflower is native to California, though it can also be found in other locations within western North America.
