• The species name comes from the resemblance of the leaves to those of the genus Myrica. (wikipedia.org)
  • Today, the type family Cunoniaceae is included in the order Oxalidales and a taxon "Cunoniales" is no longer used as such. (fieldofscience.com)
  • This, the relatively large size achieved by Alanqa , and the additional evidence of variable jaw morphology in azhdarchids provided by this taxon, indicates a longer and more complex history for this clade than previously suspected. (blogspot.com)
  • The species name comes from the resemblance of the leaves to those of the genus Myrica. (wikipedia.org)
  • The presence of crocodiles yet the disappearance of palms, suggests a MAT that was at the lower end of existence for both of these groups, perhaps about 14°C. By the late Miocene, there is evidence for significant cooling, both from leaf size and a drop in plant diversity, which resulted in vegetation dominated in many places by Nothofagus .

  • The aim of this paper is to review the published conclusions for Miocene climate in New Zealand and then to incorporate data from a range of fossil plant taxa in the light of more readily available databases and to compare results derived from independent paleoclimate techniques.

  • A discussion of the morphological characters, biogeography, infrageneric phylogeny and speciation of Platanus in North America is presented in light of the greater understanding of the taxa afforded by this study. (bioone.org)
  • In this study, we compiled all published generic names of coelomycetous taxa including invalid and illegitimate names. (researchgate.net)
  • The flowers grow in groups in leaf axils, the groups 50-100 mm (2.0-3.9 in) long and usually shorter than the leaves. (wikipedia.org)
  • Single individuals usually seen perching on leaves or flowers. (lepsocafrica.org)
  • The leaves are fine and dissected and the flowers are white to pink and appear from July to October in its native range. (blogspot.com)
