Here is a full taxonomy of the family Euphorbiaceae, according to the most recent molecular research. This complex family previously comprised five subfamilies: the Acalyphoideae, the Crotonoideae, the Euphorbioideae, the Phyllanthoideae and the Oldfieldioideae. The first three are uni-ovulate families, and the last two are bi-ovulate.
Antidesma is a variable genus which may be short and shrubby or tall and erect, approaching 30 metres in height. It has large oval shaped leathery evergreen leaves up to about 20 centimetres long and seven wide. The flowers have a strong, somewhat unpleasant scent. The staminate flowers are arranged in small bunches and the pistillate flowers ...
Alchornea is a plant genus of the family Euphorbiaceae first described as a genus in 1788. [3] [4] It is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, South Asia, Australia, Latin America, and various oceanic islands. [2] Molecular phylogenetic analyses suggest that Bocquillonia from New Caledonia is nested in Alchornea.
Jan 1, 2013 · Euphorbiaceae are one of the chemically most diverse angiosperm families (Hegnauer 1966, 1989; Seigler 1994). Many taxa produce toxic or medicinally important compounds (e.g., ricinin in the seed coat and castor oil in the endosperm of Ricinus seeds); in the tropics, they have acquired a wide use for many purposes such as for arrow poisons ...
Euphorbia heterophylla grows between 30 and 100 cm tall and has hollow stems that may be branched or simple with angular ribs. The leaves of the plant have variable shapes within and between populations. The lower leaves are alternate whereas the upper leaves are opposite and commonly have a whitish or bright red base.
Family ( Latin: familia, pl.: familiae) is one of the nine major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. [1] A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are ...
Country of origin label for a product designed in the United States, but manufactured in China. Country of origin ( CO) represents the country or countries of manufacture, production, design, or brand origin where an article or product comes from. [1] For multinational brands, CO may include multiple countries within the value-creation process.
