Ormosia hosiei is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. [2] [3]
It is a large tree, up to 20–30 metres (66–98 ft) tall. [4] It is only found in eastern and central China (in Anhui, Fujian, Gansu, Guizhou, Hubei, SE Jiangsu, Jiangxi, S Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Zhejiang provinces). It is becoming rare due to habitat loss and over-harvesting. The natural habitat of this species is in low-elevation broadleaved forest. [1] It is under second-class national protection. [5]
This plant is named after Alexander Hosie, the British consul-general to China who amassed large botanical collections in China and subsequently sent to Kew Gardens, London. [6]
Vernicia fordii is a species of flowering plant in the spurge family Euphorbiaceae. It is native to southern China, Myanmar, and northern Vietnam. It is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree growing to 20 m tall, with a spreading crown. The bark is smooth and thin, and bleeds latex if cut. The leaves are alternate, simple, 4.5–25 cm long and 3.5–22 cm broad, heart-shaped or with three shallow, maple-like lobes, green above and below, red conspicuous glands at the base of the leaf, and with a 5.5–26 cm long petiole. The flowers are 2.5–3.5 cm diameter, with five pale pink to purple petals with streaks of darker red or purple in the throat; it is monoecious with individual flowers either male or female, but produced together in the inflorescences. The flowers appear before or with the leaves in loose, terminal clusters. The fruit is a hard, woody pear-shaped berry 4–6 cm long and 3–5 cm diameter, containing four or five large, oily seeds; it is green initially, becoming dull brown when ripe in autumn.
Berberis verruculosa, the warty barberry or warted barberry, is an evergreen shrub in the family Berberidaceae. It ranges in size from 1–2 m, and is native to western China. It gets its common name from its "warty" stems, that have rounded, more or less identical, raised spots.
Dalbergia glomerata is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae. It is found only in Mexico.
Ormosia is a genus of legumes. 131 living species, mostly trees or large shrubs, are native to the tropical Americas, from southwestern Mexico to Bolivia and southern Brazil, to southern, southeastern, and eastern Asia, and to New Guinea and Queensland. Most are tropical, while some extend into temperate temperate regions of China. A few species are threatened by habitat destruction, while the Hainan ormosia is probably extinct already.
Scalesia retroflexa is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is found only in the Galápagos Islands of Ecuador. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Asarum maximum is a species of plant in the family Aristolochiaceae. It is endemic to China. The flowers have a distinct smell of mushrooms.
Excoecaria benthamiana is a species of flowering plant in the family Euphorbiaceae. It is endemic to Seychelles.
Polyscias crassa is a species of plant in the family Araliaceae. It is endemic to Seychelles. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Oreopanax sanderianus is a species of plant in the family Araliaceae. It is found in Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Saurauia oreophila is a species of flowering plant in the family Actinidiaceae. It is found in Guatemala and Mexico. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Saurauia scabrida is a species of flowering plant in the family Actinidiaceae. It is endemic to Mexico.
Dalbergia retusa is a plant species in the familyFabaceae . It is found in Pacific regions of Central America, ranging from Panama to southwestern Mexico. It produces the cocobolo wood. It is a fair-sized tree, reported to reach 20–25 m in height. This is probably the species contributing most of the wood in the trade. Because of the wood's great beauty and high value, the trees yielding this wood have been heavily exploited and are now rare outside national parks, reserves, and plantations.
Cornus controversa, syn. Swida controversa, is a species of flowering plant in the dogwood family Cornaceae. It is native to China, Korea, the Himalayas and Japan. It is a deciduous tree growing to 50 ft (15 m), with multiple tiered branches. Flat panicles of white flowers appear in summer, followed by globose black fruit. Ovate dark green leaves are glaucous underneath and turn red-purple in autumn. It is cultivated in gardens and parks in temperate regions.
Lobelia rhynchopetalum, the giant lobelia, is a flowering plant in the family Campanulaceae. It is endemic to Ethiopia. Its habitat is the Afroalpine climate of the Semien Mountains and Bale Mountains National Park. Recent study show that it is under a threat of climate change.
Rhododendron insigne (不凡杜鹃) is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae. It is native to southern Sichuan in China, where it grows at altitudes of 700–2,000 m (2,300–6,600 ft). This evergreen shrub grows to 1.5–6 m (4.9–19.7 ft) in height, with leathery leaves that are obovate-elliptic, obovate-lanceolate, oblong, or oblong-lanceolate, 8–13 by 2.5–4.5 cm in size. The flowers are pale to dark pink.
Rhododendron watsonii (无柄杜鹃) is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae. It is native to southern Gansu and western Sichuan in China, where it grows at altitudes of 2,500–3,000 m (8,200–9,800 ft). It is an evergreen shrub or small tree growing to 1.5–6 m (4.9–19.7 ft) in height, with leathery leaves that are oblong-elliptic to broadly oblanceolate or obovate, 10–33 by 4–10 cm in size. The flowers are white.
Cornus hongkongensis is a species of evergreen dogwood in the family Cornaceae. It is native to China, Laos, and Vietnam. It grows to 15 meters in height and blooms in late spring to early summer, exhibiting an abundance of fragrant flowers. Because this species of dogwood also exhibits a range of minor differences in morphology due largely to geographic distribution, it has been divided into a number of subspecies. It has been described as an excellent ornamental tree species.
Carex bermudiana, the Bermuda sedge, is a sedge in the family Cyperaceae. It is endemic to the islands of Bermuda. It is found on damp forest floors and in peat marshes and has become extremely rare. The Bermuda sedge was listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species in November 2014 with Endangered status. This species is listed on the Bermuda Protected Species Act.
Anaxagorea crassipetala is a species of understory tree in the family Annonaceae. It is found frequently in the lowland rainforests of Costa Rica and Panama, but extends down to Peru.
Rhododendron wiltonii, called the Wilton rhododendron and the wrinkled-skin rhododendron, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Rhododendron native to south‑central China. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
