What is combretaceae?

Combretaceae is a member of the Order of Myrtales and is a relatively large family of flowering shrubs, trees and trees. This family consists of about 18 recognized families and 600 species and can be found in the tropics and subtropics. Many species of these plants are considered ornamental, but others, such as terminalia ivorensis and anogeissus leiocarpus , are sometimes used for products such as lumber or cosmetics.

One of the most famous members of the Combretaceae family is the genus lumitzer . This genus, which can be found in growing in the mangrove stations of the Western Pacific and East Africa, carries two species that are clearly similar to appearance. Both species usually carry drops in the shape of a drop, but the leaves Lumitzer Racemosa tend to be massive and brighter in shade, while lumitzer Littorea generally thinner, darker green leaves. They also differ in their flowers, one bearing white, the other red.

Conocarpus is another smallerThe family of the Combretaceae family, which also has only two species. Conocarpus erectus usually begins as a low -cost shrub, which, if it is possible to grow in ideal conditions, sometimes creates a vase -shaped tree. On the other hand, Conocarpus lancifolius will generally grow rapidly to a slim tree of medium height for less than ideal conditions, such as heavy winds or drought.

Laguncularia is a slightly larger family in the Combretaceae family, which boasts about 10 different species. One of the most famous species of this family is laguncularia racemosa . This particular flowering tree has a gray -brown bark; leather, elliptical leaves; and white flowers in the shape of a bell. What makes this type so well known is its diversity of use, which ranges from Carpentro and sunbathing, folk remedies for dysentery and scurvy. Other members of the genus Laguncularia include LagUncularia pedicellata , rosea and lutea .

Rod Terminalia is one of the larger members of the Combretaceae family, which contains about 100 species of large trees that are often used in food products and folk products. quisqualis , a genus of highly ornamental vineyards with clear red flowers, is also a member of the COMBRETACEAE clan. In addition to an attractive floral piece, this plant is sometimes used in traditional medicine. It carries only eight species, anogeissus is one of the smaller families in this particular family. Nevertheless, it spreads broadly throughout Africa, South Asia and the Arabian peninsula and is often used for printing and sunbathing fabrics.
