Maerua brunnescens is a species of plant in the Capparaceae family. It is endemic to Mozambique.
Amanita brunnescens, also known as the brown American star-footed amanita or cleft-footed amanita is a native North American mushroom of the large genus Amanita. Originally presumed to be the highly toxic Amanita phalloides by renowned American mycologist Charles Horton Peck, it was described and named by George F. Atkinson of Cornell University. He named it after the fact that it bruised brown. It differs from the death cap by its fragile volva and tendency to bruise brown. It is considered probably poisonous.
The pectoral-patch cisticola is a species of bird in the family Cisticolidae. It is found in Cameroon, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Kenya, Somalia and Tanzania. Its natural habitats are damp or wet areas in upland grassland.
The spotted barbtail is a species of bird in the family Furnariidae. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.
Maerua acuminata is a species of plant in the Capparaceae family. It is found in Mozambique and Tanzania.
Maerua is a genus of plants in the family Capparaceae, with its centre of diversity in Africa, though some species extend their range as far north as the Levant, and as far east as the Indian subcontinent. Among its species:
Maerua andradae is a species of plant in the Capparaceae family. It is endemic to Mozambique.
Maerua elegans is a species of plant in the Capparaceae family. It is endemic to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Maerua scandens is a species of plant in the Capparaceae family. It is endemic to Mozambique.
Maerua crassifolia is a species of plant in the Capparaceae family. It is native to Africa, tropical Arabia, and Israel, but is disappearing from Egypt. Foliage from this plant is used as fodder for animals, especially camels, during the dry season in parts of Africa.
Amanita aestivalis, commonly known as the white American star-footed amanita, is a species of fungus in the mushroom family Amanitaceae. The fungus is distributed in the eastern United States, south to Florida, and reaches north into the southeastern provinces of Canada. The cap of the fruit body is medium-sized, 5 to 8.5 cm in diameter and white. It sits atop a stem that is 8.5 to 16 cm long and has a rounded bulb at its base. The entire fruit body will slowly stain a reddish-brown color in response to bruising or aging. It remains unknown whether Amanita aestivalis is a distinct species from A. brunnescens, another similar Amanita with a comparable distribution. There are several other white-bodied amanitas with which A. aestivalis may be confused, including A. virosa, A. phalloides, and A. bisporigera.
Pinacopteryx is a monotypic genus of pierid butterflies found in Africa containing Pinacopteryx eriphia, the zebra white.
