The shiny mottled brown seeds found within the pods have a linear shape and are in length.

It blooms from March to June producing cream flowers. The simple inflorescences occur in pairs in the axils forming cylindrical flower-spikes that have a length of and a diameter of and are subdensely packed with cream coloured flowers. The pendant, thinly-coriaceous and glabrous seed pods that form after flowering have a linear shape but are raised over and constricted between the seeds. The pods have a length of up to and a width of with the seeds arranged longitudinally inside.

It blooms from June to September producing yellow flowers. It has simple inflorescences that occur in pairs in the axils, the cylindrical flower-spikes have a length of and a diameter of around and are densely flowered. The crustaceous to thin-coriaceous seed pods that form after flowering have a linear shape and are slightly raised over and constricted between the seeds. The pods have a length of up to around and a width of around and are longitudinally striated and glabrous.

The tree typically grows to a height of and has fissured and fibrous grey bark. It has slender glabrous slender and sometimes pendulous branchlets with sericeous new shoots with hairs that become silver with age. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The thinly coriaceous grey-green phyllodes have a linear to curved shape and are in length and a width of wide and are finely striated with a central nerve that is more prominent than the others.

It blooms from July to September producing yellow flowers. The simple inflorescences are usually solitary with sessile flower-heads that has a spherical or near sperical shape and a diameter of containing 12 to 20 flower golden coloured flowers. The seed pods that form after flowering are erect with a linear shape but are marginally raised over and constricted between each of the seeds. The thinly coriaceous pods are straight to slightly curved with a length of up to and a width of .

D.falcata bears grey bark, thick coriaceous leaves variable in shape with stout flowers (Wealth of India. 2002). The inflorescence of D.falcata was described formerly as axillary or as developing from the scars of fallen leaves, but Y.P.S Pundir (1996) determined it to be of strictly cauliflorous nature and noted also that it bears a certain similarity to those of the fig species Ficus glomerata, F. pomifera and F. hispida. Two of its varieties are widespread in India namely, var. falcata (honeysuckle mistletoe) and var.

A stunted rosette plant growing in an exposed site on Mount Bokor Leaves are sessile to sub-petiolate and coriaceous (leathery) in texture. The lamina or leaf blade is oblong to linear-lanceolate in shape and measures up to 35 cm in length by 8 cm in width. Its apex varies greatly, ranging from acute to obtuse and it may sometimes also be acuminate. The lamina is attenuate at the base, clasping the stem by around three-quarters of its circumference and rarely becoming decurrent.

For those not familiar with botanical terminology, a petiole is the portion of the plant that attaches to the base of the leaf and supports the blade A petiole is commonly called a "stem". The blades are considered sub-coriaceous which indicates the leaves are just less than leathery to the touch. The leaves are slightly more glossy on the upper surface than the underside. The lobes at the top of the leaf are sometimes overlapping but also may appear to have a closed sinus.

The trunks of the arborescent species can reach over a meter in diameter. The twigs are angular, and glabrous, although the terminal buds are densely and minutely puberulous. The dark green, shiny leaves are alternate, obovate to obovate-elliptic, 6-11 × 3–6 cm, glabrous, stiffly coriaceous, the base acute, rarely obtuse, margin flat, the apex rounded, the lower surface minutely but densely dotted with oil glands. Lateral veins 4-6 on each side, reticulation raised on both surfaces, petioles glabrous, 9–14 mm long.

Juvenile insects are also known from the Carboniferous Period. Very early Blattopterans had a large, discoid pronotum and coriaceous forewings with a distinct CuP vein (a unbranched wing vein, lying near the claval fold and reaching the wing posterior margin). These were not true cockroaches, as they had an ovipositor, although through the Carboniferous, the ovipositor started to diminish. The orders Caloneurodea and Miomoptera are known, with Orthoptera and Blattodea to be among the earliest Neoptera; developing from the upper Carboniferous to the Permian.

It blooms during the winter from around May to July and it produces racemose inflorescences along an axis of and have spherical flower-heads containing 18 to 25 golden coloured flowers. After flowering thinly coriaceous, mid-brown coloured, linear seed pods form that are linear but slightly raised over seeds. The glabrous pods have a length of up to around and a width of containing longitudinally arranged seeds. The slightly shiny black seeds have an oblong to elliptic shape with a length of with a clavate aril.

Nepenthes alata exhibits great variability across its range and it is inevitable that some plants will deviate from the characters outlined by Jebb and Cheek. However, the overall combination of morphological differences appears to be stable and it is this that demarcates these species. Nepenthes eustachya bears a superficial resemblance to N. mirabilis. It can be distinguished from that species on the basis of its lower pitchers, which lack wings, its fimbriate leaf margins on short shoots, and coriaceous leaves, as opposed to chartaceous in the latter.

There is much variation in these characters, but they are not ubiquitous: specific morphotypes characterized by leaf anatomy are said to be restricted to specific islands, but this distribution has not yet been formally delimited. Vaccinium reticulatum differs from Vaccinium dentatum and Vaccinium calycinum in several ways. In general, all vegetative and reproductive anatomy tends to be smaller and more compact than the other two species. Foliage tends to be chartaceous (papery) in Vaccinium reticulatum, while is coriaceous (leathery) in Vaccinium dentatum and Vaccinium calycinum.

Leaves persistent, coriaceous, blades 1–3 cm wide; calyx lobes neither foliaceous nor overlapping in bud (2). 2\. Plants green, glabrous or glandular; leaves 4–9 cm long, elliptic to narrowly elliptic; calyx lobes lanceolate and longer than the tube at anthesis; HI exc, Ni & Ka .….2. Vaccinium dentatum 2\. Plants pubescent or glaucous, or both; leaves 1–3 cm long, ovate to obovate or rarely elliptic; calyx lobes deltate, usually not as long as the tube at tnthesis; K, O, Mo, M, H ….. 3.

The spreading diffuse shrub typically grows to a height of and has many branches. The hairy branchlets have a white-grey coloured epidermis that becomes fissured with age and spinose and straight stipules with a length of and often have hardened bases persisting. Like many species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The coriaceous, shiny, dark green and patent phyllodes have an ovate to widely elliptic shape and usually have a length of and a width of and has a prominent midrib.

Putranjivaceae is a rosid family that is composed of 218 species in 2 genera of evergreen tropical trees that are found mainly in the Old World tropics, but with a few species in tropical America. Members of this family have 2-ranked coriaceous leaves, which, if fresh, typically have a radish-like or peppery taste. The flowers are fasciculate and usually small, and the fruits of these species are a single-seeded drupe crown by the persistent stigmas. This family has its origin in Africa and Malesia.

In Western Australia it blooms between August and November but it can flower as late as January in other places and produce profuse flower displays a seed crops in favourable conditions.

The simple inflorescences occur singly or in pairs in the axils and have spherical flower-heads that contain 12 to 20 pale yellow lemon yellow flowers. Following flowering straight seed pods form that are up to long The firmly chartaceous to thinly coriaceous brown seed pods have a narrowly oblong to linear shape with a width of and are mostly glabrous but are hairy around the margins. The seeds inside are arranged longitudinally. The shiny dark brown seeds have an oblong shape with a length of and have a terminal aril.

It can become a large tree, up to high and in diameter. One tree, felled by a storm in 1954, reportedly measured in diameter at the height of a man's chest and a total volume, including the branches, of 87 m³. The coihue usually has elegant branches which are flattened horizontally. The leaves are evergreen, small (25–40 mm long and 10–16 mm wide), thick, coriaceous (leathery) and lustrous, dark green, with toothed borders and an acute apex; they have a very small, rounded and rhomb-shaped petiole.

Ploidy: 2n = 38.

The spreading tree or shrub typically grows to a height of with smooth fissured dark grey bark. The plant generally has a rounded or obconic habit with several stright to crooked, spreading main stems from the base with dense and spreading crown. The slightly shiny, glabrous, green to grey-green phyllodes are variable in shape and size They have a linear to narrowly oblong or narrowly elliptic shape and are in length with a width of about . The phyllodes are coriaceous and have an erect or spreading arrangement.

The rigid phyllodes have a length of and a width of and have four broad and prominent flat-topped, broad nerves with a central nerve prominently raised over the others. It blooms from May to July producing yellow flowers. The simple inflorescences usually occur as pairs in the axils with spherical to shortly obloid shaped flower-heads that have a diameter of about and contain 13 to 20 light golden coloured flowers. The glabrous, coriaceous-crustaceous seed pods that form after flowering have a linear shape but are slightly constricted between each of the seeds.

The blue-grey to grey-green pungent and coriaceous phyllodes usually have an elliptic to obovate or orbicular shape with a length of and a width of and have a prominent and central midrib. It produces rounded yellow flowerheads between April and August in the species' native range. The simple inflorescences occur along a long raceme with showy, spherical flower-heads that are densely packed with 70 to 80 bright golden coloured flowers. Following flowering shallowly curved to openly once-coiled seed pods form that have a narrowly oblong shape and are rounded over seeds.

The ascomata, roughly spherical to cylindrical in shape, may be either embedded in or on the material to which the fruit body is attached. Atop the ascomata is a small rounded process with an opening (an ostiole) through which ascospores may be released. The brown- to black-colored ascomata can be either leathery (coriaceous) or dark-colored and readily broken (carbonaceous). The internal structure of the ascomata, the centrum, is at first filled with a transparent pseudoparenchyma (a type of tissue made of hyphae that are twisted and matted together) dissolves upon reaching maturity.

The evergreen, coriaceous and glabrous phyllodesare straight to curved with a length of and a width of with two semi-prominent lateral nerves and the remainder inconspicuous. It flowers from March to April or June to July producing yellow flowers or sometimes as late as November and is thought to bloom at anytime following large scale rain events. The cylindrical flower-spikes have a length of and are loosely packed with yellow flowers. After flowering woody and erect seed pods form that are usually linear to oblanceolate in shape and taper toward the base.

The pubescence is located on the main vein on the bottom of the leave. The leaf shape can vary from oval to elliptic and present coriaceous leaves; leaf base and apex are rounded. Solitary flowers located at the end of the branches, colored from yellowish green to beige, with 3 to 5 deciduous floral bracts; 3 obovate thick fresh sepals; 6 to 7 obovate and fleshy petals with truncate base and acute apex. Woody fruit, elliptic, measuring from 6,9 to 8,5 cm long and 3,3 to 4,5 cm broad; the carpels split open irregularly.

The simple inflorescences form as flower-spikes with a length of around densley packed with light golden flowers. The penduouls seed pods that form after flowering are produced in large numbers and have a shape resembling a string of beads with a length of and a width of . The pods are thinly coriaceous-crustaceous and straight to shallowly curved with a light brown colour when mature with a variably white-scurfy surface. The shiny black seeds have pale dull coloured middle have an ellipsoidal to obloid-ellipsoidal and a length of and a white aril.

The axillary or terminal inflorescences are found along an raceme axes with a length of with spherical to obloid shaped flower-heads that have a diameter of and contain 45 to 65 light golden coloured flowers. Following flowering thinly coriaceous seed pods form that have a linear shape but are contricted between and rounded over each of the seeds.

The multi-branched obconic shrub typically grows to a height of . It is intricately branched with modeartely sized ribs with caducous hairs and long stipules with thickened bases and maroon red or dull brown coloured new shoots. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The grey-green to blue-green coriaceous phyllodes are wide spreading, usually with a narrowly oblong to oblong-elliptic shape and a coarsely pungent tip The shallowly recurved phyllodes are in length and wide and have a prominent yellowish midrib.

The green phyllodes usually have a length of and a width of with an obscure slightly raised midrib and no lateral nerves. It blooms from August to September and produces yellow flowers. The rudimentary inflorescences occur singly on racemes with an axis length of less than and have sperical flower-heads with a diameter of containing 7 to 23 bright lemon yellow coloured flowers. The thinly coriaceous seed pods that form after flowering rounded over the seeds with a length of up to and a width of and covered in a fine white powdery coating.

They are shrubs to trees, typically 3-6 (to 27) m in height. Branches are greyish-white to brownish grey. Leaves: 120–200 mm; with petiole and rachis adaxially flat, abaxially rounded; leaflets generally in number of 3 or 5, sub-opposite or opposites; petioles 3–5 mm; thin elliptic to oblong- lanceolate, 60-100 × 25–40 mm, coriaceous, both surfaces glabrous and glossy.

Buddleja axillaris is a sarmentose shrub 2-3 m in height, with quadrangular branchlets, often obscurely winged, and white- pubescent. The opposite leaves have thinly coriaceous ovate to narrowly elliptic blades, 6-30 cm long by 2-10 cm wide, acuminate or apiculate, abruptly narrowed at the base, minutely pilose above, but white-tomentose to subglabrous beneath, with mostly shallow crenate - dentate margins. The slender white or occasionally yellow inflorescences are axillary, solitary and thyrsoid 3-14 cm long by 1-4 cm wide, the corollas 5-17 mm long.Leeuwenberg, A. J. M. (1979).

The branches are relatively short, loosely arranged and, usually, sharply directed upwards, and the bark, brownish, is detached in narrow vertical strips. The twigs are compressed and are arranged in vertical planes. The leaves, arranged in four rows, fleshy, opposite, decussate, truncated, imbricated as adults, somewhat curved inwards, of uniform green color and with a resiniferous gland on the underside. The female cones, of pink-salmon color and later bluish-greenish when immature, centimetric and of annual maturation, are oval with 6-8 flattened, thick scales, coriaceous and provided with an apical hook.

Buddleja cuspidata is a shrub 3-4 m in height, with brown tomentose branchlets, obscurely quadrangular. The opposite, thinly - coriaceous leaves blades are ovate or elliptic, 9-20 cm long by 4-9 cm wide, acuminate at the apex, decurrent into the petiole, sparsely pubescent above, brown tomentose beneath; the margins serrate - dentate to crenate - dentate. The narrow yellow inflorescences are axillary and spicate, 3-15 cm long by 1-1.5 cm wide; the corollas 7.5-8.5 mm long. Buddleja cuspidata is considered closely allied to B. axillaris and B. sphaerocalyx.

They are long and broad, with a petiole. They are simple and occur alternately on branch, having a slender and grooved shape above and a glabrous, glandular shape at the apex below. The lamina is glabrous and coriaceous; trinerved from base, the midrib is raised above the leaf plane and lateral nerves are present in 8-10 parallel pairs, appearing prominently slender; the tertiary nerves are obscured and reticulate. The fruits are small stalkless figs in diameter, light green initially, ripening to syconium red or purple, with smooth achenes.

The pores are small and arranged in radial rows. Pith rays narrow and indistinct. A similar definition of the Acana tree is given by Constantino Suarez in his Diccionario de voces Cubanas as; wild indigenous tree with a straight trunk that grows to 10 meters with coriaceous rigid oval leaves which produces a nutritious fruit smaller than the zapote, and whose wood is valued in Cuba for rustic houses and ship building because of the wood's durability and hardness, qualities enhanced by its sonority, weight, and beautiful reddish color.

Hypericum terrae-firmae is a shrub or small tree, 1–2 m tall, erect, with branches strict, pseudo-dichotomous or lateral. The stems are orange-brown, 4-lined when young, soon terete, without corky wrinkles, the cortex is exfoliating in strips, the internodes are 4–6 mm long. The leaves are sessile, free from the base, spreading to subimbricate and tetrastichous, deciduous at the base without fading. The lamina are 16–30 mm long and 4–6 mm wide, narrowly oblong to narrowly elliptic, plane, not cucullate or carinate, concolorous, not or slightly glaucous and chartaceous to thinly coriaceous.

This is rather misleading however; among the flowering plants, Alphitonia is not closely related to the true ash trees (Fraxinus of the asterids), and barely at all to the monocot sarsaparilla vines (Smilax). The name is derived from Greek álphiton (, "barley-meal"), from the mealy quality of their fruits' mesocarps.. Another interpretation is that "baked barley meal" alludes to the mealy red covering around the hard cells in the fruit.Alexander Floyd, Rainforest Trees of Mainland South-eastern Australia, Inkata Press 2008, page 322 The lanceolate coriaceous leaves are alternate, about 12 cm long. The margins are smooth.

Psychopsis are epiphytic orchids with laterally crushed cylindrical pseudobulbs from which two fleshy coriaceous leaves appear apically, in their center two floral wands emerge with large golden yellow flowers with purple spots on bands in sepals and on the lip whose edges are forming folds. Psychopsis very often grows on the trunks and branches of trees. The flowers look like large butterflies with brightly colored bodies (the lip, a modified petal), very long antennae-like petals, and outspread wing-like dappled yellow and brown sepals. The butterfly orchid is rumored to have started the European "Orchidmania" of the 19th century.

Asplenium azoricum is a fern from hybrid origin of the family Aspleniaceae, descendant of the Macaronesian ancestral fern Asplenium anceps. It lives exclusively in the Azores, that is a strict endemic Azorean fern. Its fronds are coriaceous like plastic and its rachis is very thick, dark garnet color and brilliance. A typical feature of this fern, which it shares with all the descendants of A. anceps, is the existence of a small atrium at the base of the medium and lower pinnae geared towards the apex of the frond with one or two sori in its underside.

When it blooms it produces simple inflorescences that occur in groups of one to four in the axils on long stalks. The flower-heads can be obloid spherical to cylindrical in shape with a length of with golden flowers. The dark brown to black, firmly coriaceous-crustaceous to sub-woody seed pods that form after flowering have a narrowly oblong to linear shape or occasionally resemble as string of beads. They can be straight to prominently curved and have a length of and a width of with a discrete yellow to light brown coloured marginal nerve that is thickened.

Moderately to strongly branched, erect, evergreen shrub, usually 0.5–1 m, occasionally up to 2 m high. Leaves alternate, clustered towards the apices of the branches, oblanceolate, rarely lanceolate, strongly attenuate towards base, up to 12 cm long and 3 cm wide, somewhat coriaceous, glabrous, apex acute, margin entire. Inflorescence adense, globular capitule up to 2.5 cm in diameter, situated axillary on peduncles 3 to 4 cm long; groups of 5 to 10 capitules clustered towards apices of branches; peduncles, involucre, calyx and the subfusiform receptacle pubescent. Calyx deeply 5-partite, with linear to lanceolate lobes.

The pitchers of N. rigidifolia resemble those of N. bongso to a degree, although their colouration is closer to that of N. spectabilis. Nepenthes rigidifolia differs from N. bongso, N. ovata and related species in having mostly ovoid upper pitchers (compared to infundibular in the others), distinctly thick and coriaceous laminae, and a narrower, cylindrical peristome with very short teeth. In addition, the lower pitchers of N. bongso are considerably larger than those of N. rigidifolia. While recognising N. rigidifolia as a valid species in his Carnivorous Plant Database, taxonomist Jan Schlauer suggests that it may be conspecific with N. densiflora.

The leaves are deciduous, cauline, alternate, simple, lanceolate to elliptic to orbiculate, 0.5–10 x 0.5–5.5 cm, thin to coriaceous, with surfaces above glabrous or densely tomentose at flowering, and glabrous or more or less hairy beneath at maturity. The inflorescences are terminal, with 1–20 flowers, erect or drooping, either in clusters of one to four flowers, or in racemes with 4–20 flowers. The flowers have five white (rarely somewhat pink, yellow, or streaked with red), linear to orbiculate petals, 2.6–25 mm long, with the petals in one species (A. nantucketensis) often andropetalous (bearing apical microsporangia adaxially).

Buddleja incana is a dioecious tree or shrub, 4 - 15 m tall, the trunk < 50 cm at the base, the bark brownish and furrowed. The branches are subquadrangular and tomentose, and form a rounded crown. The coriaceous leaves are mostly oblong, 7 - 21 cm long by 1 - 5 cm wide, the upper surface glabrescent, often bullate or rugose, the lower white or yellowish tomentose. The yellow to orange paniculate inflorescences have 2 - 3 orders of leafy-bracted branches bearing heads 1 - 1.5 cm in diameter, each with 15 - 40 flowers, the corollas 3 - 4 mm long.

Begonia tabonensis is an endemic species of Begonia discovered in Tabon Cave, Lipuun Point, Municipality of Quezo, in Palawan, Philippines. This species resembles B. mindorensis Merr., widely ovate and uniformly green leaves, and inflorescence with sessile glands. However the two species differs on several characteristics: Begonia tabonensis have shorter petioles(10 cm long), smaller leaves(4-8 x 4–6.4 cm); deciduous, chartaceous, glabrous or very sparsely glandular bracts; and slightly pointed, crescent-shaped ovary wing; whereas, B. mindorensis have longer petioles(25 cm long), larger leaves(10-15 x 6-10 cm); persistent, coriaceous, densely glandular bracts; and acute, triangular ovary wing.

The peridium, or outer covering, of each perithecium possesses a coriaceous (leathery) texture and can have a violaceous colouring. Such colouring is very rare amongst coprophilous pyrenomycetes, and in this manner P. appendiculata is similar to two other fungal species both belonging to the genus Cercophora: Cercophora septentrionalis and Cercophora caerulea. As with other members of the ascomycota, the perithecia of P. appendiculata are filled with asci (singular: ascus) that contain, in turn, the sexual ascospores. Each ascus is clavate (club-like) in shape, possesses a small apical ring, and contains 8 ascospores arranged in a biseriate (two-rowed) manner.

Buddleja pichinchensis is a dioecious shrub or small tree 3 – 6 m tall in the wild, with a blackish fissured bark, becoming increasingly gnarled with age. The young branches are terete and covered with a thick tomentum, bearing sessile or subsessile lanceolate coriaceous or subcoriaceous leaves, glabrescent above, with dense felt-like tomentum below. The faintly scented golden yellow inflorescences are 3 – 12 cm long, with 1 - 2 orders of branches, usually with 3 - 6 pairs of pendent pedunculate heads 1.2 - 2 cm in diameter, each head with 12 - 18 flowers, the corollas 3 - 5 mm long. Pollination is possibly by hummingbirds.

It blooms between August and December producng simple inflorescences that are found in clusters of 3 to 16 in the racemes along a zig-zagged axis of with spherical flower- heads that have a diameter of containing 20 to 35 bright yellow coloured flowers. Following flowering it forms chartaceous to thinly coriaceous seed pods that have an oblong shape with a length of and have a width of and can be covered in a fine white powdery coating. The dull to slightly shiny black seeds inside have an oblong-elliptic to ovate shape with a length of .

An evergreen perennial, the large leaves of C. curvibracteatus can be effective ground cover, ranging in size from long and wide. They are glossy and glabrous above, but hirsute on the edges and underside, and alternately arranged on a spiralling stem, which has a diameter about . Coriaceous (leather-like texture) and dark green, the leaves are obovate to elliptic, with a cuneate to rounded base, and the apex is usually acute to acuminate. One of the main features that distinguishes C. barbatus from C. curvibracteatus is the size of the ligule; that of the former is larger, by about .

The green to grey-green, flat and sub-rigid phyllodes have a narrowly linear shape and are straight to shallowly curved with a length of and a width of and are glabrous or with tiny hairs between the many, fine longitudinal nerves. It mostly blooms between July and September producing yellow coloured flowers. The simple inflorescences are often found in pairs in axils with short-obloid to cylindrically shaped flower-heads with a length of and a diameter of packed with golden coloured flowers. Following flowering thinly coriaceous-crustaceous seed pods that are straight to slightly curved form.

The earliest winged insects are from this time period (Pterygota), including the Blattoptera, Caloneurodea, primitive stem-group Ephemeropterans, Orthoptera and Palaeodictyopteroidea. Very early Blattopterans (during the Carboniferous) had a very large discoid pronotum and coriaceous forewings with a distinct CuP vein (an unbranched wing vein, lying near the claval fold and reaching the wing posterior margin). Even though the oldest definitive insect fossil is the Devonian Rhyniognatha hirsti, estimated at 396–407 million years old, it possessed dicondylic mandibles, a feature associated with winged insects. During the Permian, the dragonflies (Odonata) were the dominant aerial predator and probably dominated terrestrial insect predation as well.

Stelis ornata is a species of orchid found from Mexico through Guatemala and El Salvador as a miniature epiphyte at elevations of 1500 to 2500 meters above sea level. The plant is characterized by erect ramicauls enveloped by two basal sheaths and carrying a single apical, erect, coriaceous leaf where it blooms on an apical, single successive flowered, 2 inch [4 to 5 cm] long, fractiflex inflorescence that holds the successive opening, single flowers amid or just above the leaves occurring at any time of the year. In cultivation it prefers cool temperatures, shade, and high humidity as well as mounting on tree fern, and good air movement.

Leaves unifoliolate, leaflet 7.5-13.5 x 2.5-5.2 cm, elliptic-lanceolate or elliptic-oblong, shallowly narrowed at base, caudate- acuminate at apex with 10–15 mm long acumen, entire along margins, coriaceous, glabrous, notched at tip; secondary nerves ca 10 pairs with as many fainter ones in between arising at angles 50-600 with the midnerve, finely reticulate; petioles 5–10 mm long, horizontally grooved above, articulate with base of blade, glabrous. Inflorescence axillary racemes, up to 2.5 cm long, few- flowered, glabrous; pedicels slender, ca 7 mm long, glabrous. Flowers small.

Oncidium blanchetii is a species of orchid native to eastern and southern Brazil. Found in the cool mountains, hot and humid lowlands and inland savannahs of eastern and southeastern Brazil as a medium sized, cool growing epiphyte that occurs at elevations of 800 to 2000 meters with clustered, erect, oblong or narrowly ovoid-oblong, compressed, smooth and then sulcate with age pseudobulbs carrying 3 apical, erect, rigid, coriaceous, narrowly linear-ligulate, acute leaves and blooms in the spring through summer on an erect, 2' to 5'4"" [60 to 160 cm] long, robust, paniculate, many flowered inflorescence that is longer than the leaves and has concave, lanceolate bracts.

The thinly coriaceous and glabrous phyllodes have a length of and a width of and have yellow coloured margins and a straight to recurved tip along with many closely parallel non-prominent nerves. It flowers from June to September producing simple inflorescences that are found in pairs in the axils with long cylindrical flower-spikes with a diameter of loosely packed with bright golden coloured flowers. Following flowering thinly crustaceous and glabrous seed pods form that have a linear shape and are raised over and constricted between each of the seeds. The pods grow to as long as and have a width of with longitudinally arranged seeds inside.

The tree typically grows to a height of with a single stem that has a trunk that has a diameter of around . It has hard, thin and shallowly bark that is cracked and fissured along with flattened and acutely angled branchlets that are a light greenish colour at the extremities. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The dark green to grey–green with a slight sheen, dimidiate phyllodes have a length of and a width of 5–15.5 cm long, (1–) 1.5–2.5 (–3.5) cm wide and thinly coriaceous with numerous longitudinal nerves numerous that are parallel and close together.

Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The green to grey-green and slender phyllodes are coarsely pungent and have a straight to shallowly incurved shape with a length of and a width of with fine longitudinal nerves. It blooms inconsistently between January and October producing simple inflorescences that occur singly or, less frequently, in pairs in the axils and have spherical to short-obloid shaped flower-heads that have a length of and a diameter of . The thinly coriaceous to crustaceous seed pods are straight to shallowly curved with a length of and a width of with longitudinal nerves.

Depending on environmental conditions, N. mantalingajanensis may grow as a compact rosette or produce an upright stem 30–60 cm tall. Internodes are circular in cross section and up to 1 cm in diameter. The species does not appear to produce a climbing stem. A particularly globose lower pitcher of this species Leaves are petiolate to sub-petiolate and coriaceous in texture. The lamina (leaf blade) is broadly lanceolate in shape and can reach 20 cm in length by 6 cm in width. The apex of the lamina is typically acute or obtuse, but may be sub-peltate, with the point of tendril attachment being up to 4 mm from the apex.

It is a cycad with an arborescent habit, with a stem up to 2.5 m tall and 40-45 cm in diameter, with secondary stems originating from basal suckers. [3] The leaves, pinnate, of a bluish-green color, are 1–2 m long, supported by a petiole about 15 cm long, and composed of numerous pairs of lanceolate, coriaceous leaflets, arranged on the rachis with an angle of about 40 °, long up to 20–25 cm, with entire margin and a pungent. It is a dioecious species, of which, however, only male specimens are known which have from 1 to 3 sub- conical cones, about 20–24 cm long and 12–15 cm broad, of greenish-yellow sarcotesta.

They are shrubs or small trees, which rarely reach a size of 4 m in height. The branches are purple brown when young, greyish brown when old, cylindrical, initially brown tomentose, glabrous in old age. Petiole 0.5-1.8 cm or almost absent, slightly brown or tomentose, subglabra; stipules deciduous, lanceolate, little brown tomentose, acuminate apex; ovate blade blade, oblong, rarely obovate, oblong- lanceolate, narrowly elliptical or elliptical-lanceolate, (2 -) 4-8 × 1.5-4 cm, coriaceous, abaxially prominent veins, abaxially visible reticular veins and visible or non-adaxially, back pale, glabrous or scarcely tomentose, shiny adaxially, glabrous, the apex obtuse, acute acuminate. The inflorescences in panicles or terminal of clusters, with many or few flowers; pedicels and peduncles rusty-tomentose; bracts and deciduous bracteoles.

Oeceoclades beravensis is a terrestrial orchid species in the genus Oeceoclades that is endemic to the southern and western Madagascar where it grows in the sandy soils of western dry forests and wooded grasslands. This species has cane-like stems and forms dense clumps in the understorey, a feature that makes it unique among the Eulophiinae species found in Madagascar. Like other orchid species in Eulophia and Oeceoclades that are adapted to arid climates, O. beravensis has narrow and coriaceous (leathery and stiff, but flexible) leaves with minute serrations. Because of habitat loss and existing threats to the dry forests and grasslands of Madagascar, O. beravensis was preliminarily assessed as "Near Threatened" using the International Union for Conservation of Nature guidelines.

E. anceps exhibits a sympodial growth habit, producing closely spacedSchweinfurth "Orchids of Peru" Fieldiana:Botany 30(1960)406–407 reed-like stems up to 5 dm tall (10 dm, according to Correll and Schweinfurth) which are flattened laterally (hence, anceps) and covered by imbricating sheathes which bear leaves on the upper part of the stem. The wide tan-green coriaceous sessile linear-elliptic distichous leaves grow up to 22 cm long by 43 mm wide. The terminal inflorescence is a raceme at the end of a long peduncle covered from its base by close, imbricating sheathes; sometimes additional racemes will arise from the nodes of the peduncle. The flowers typically contain significant amounts of chlorophyll and yellow pigment—these are often accompanied by enough purple pigment to give the flower a dingy, brown color.

Fl. June; fr. November. \---- A small bush, averaging six feet in height, rounded in form, of a bright cheerful green hue, and which, when loaded with its inflorescence of surpassing delicacy and grace, claims precedence over its more gaudy congeners, and has always been regarded by me as the most charming of the Sikkim Rhododendrons. The plant exhales a grateful honeyed flavour from its lovely bells and a resinous sweet odour from the stipitate glands of the petioles, pedicels, calyx, and capsules. Leaves on slender petioles, three-quarters of an inch long, coriaceous but not thick in texture, two to three and a half inches long, one and three-quarters to two inches broad, cordate at the base, rounded and mucronate at the apex, in all characters, except the evanescent glandular pubescence and spherical buds, undistinguishable from Rhododendron Thomsoni.

It is an arborescent cycad, with an erect stem, up to 1 m tall and 30 cm in diameter, sometimes with secondary stems originating from basal suckers. [2] The leaves, pinnate, arranged in a crown at the apex of the stem, are 1–1.3 m long, supported by a 15-20 cm long petiole, and composed of numerous pairs of lanceolate, coriaceous green leaves, long 15–20 cm, with spiny margin and pungent apex. It is a dioecious species, with male specimens presenting from 1 to 6 sub-cylindrical, erect, 40–65 cm long and 7–9 cm broad, jade green, and female specimens with cylindrical-ovoid cones, generally solitary, 30–50 cm long and 16–20 cm broad, from glaucous green to jade green. The seeds are roughly ovoid, 2.5-3.5 cm long, covered with a scarlet red sarcotesta.

Begonia tenuibracteata is an endemic species of Begonia discovered in Salakot Falls, Napsan, Puerto Princesa City, in northern Palawan, Philippines occurring on mossy boulders along road cut in shaded, wet lowland forest. This species, along with B. mindorensis, produces the unusual, conspicuous, persistent bracts on the inflorescences. However, it sharply distinct from the latter due to its ovate to lanceolate bracts, which are hyaline, membranaceous, glabrous or with very sparse sessile glands where the latter have widely to depressed ovate bracts that are coriaceous, densely clothed with sessile glands. Additionally, B. tenuibracteata differs by the congested rhizomes with internodes only to 3 mm long; with shorter petioles (to 7 cm long); velvety upper leaf surface; shorter inflorescence (to 22 cm); and fewer stamens (40–50); whereas B. mindorensis have 20 mm long rhizome internodes, petioles 10–25 cm long, glossy upper leaf surface, inflorescence over 35 cm long, and up to ca.

The leaves are coriaceous and sessile or sub- petiolate. The leaves of rosettes are up to 30 cm long and 10 cm wide, whereas those of the scrambling stem are up to 40 cm long and 15 cm wide. The leaves are oblong to elliptic, obtuse at the apex and shortly attenuate at the base, clasping the stem by approximately two-thirds of its circumference and becoming decurrent for 2–3 cm. rosette (juvenile) pitchers of N. attenboroughii demonstrate the typical bell shape of this species when only a few inches high Nepenthes attenboroughii produces some of the largest pitchers in the genus, sometimes exceeding those of typical N. rajah in size, but is not known to have exceeded the size and volume records set by that species. The largest recorded pitcher of N. attenboroughii measured more than 1.5 litres in volume, and traps exceeding 2 litres are likely to be produced on occasion.

The vine is glabrous throughout. The stem is subangular, striate, and rather stout. Stipules are deeply cleft into linear or subulate, gland-tipped segments. Petioles are 1 to 2 cm long, often bearing a few stiff, gland-tipped hairs. Leaves are cordate-deltoid, 4 to 7 cm long, 3 to 6 cm wide, obscurely hastate or not lobed, acute or obtusish at apex, deeply cordate at base, repand-crenulate (often with minute glands in the sinuses of the crenations at the tips of the nerves), 5-nerved, coriaceous, often sublustrous. Peduncles are solitary, 2 to 3 cm long. Bracts are 2 to 3 cm, long pectinate or once pinnatifid (segments gland-tipped, scarcely longer than width of rachis), rarely bipinnatifid, but the rachis at least 2 mm. wide. Flowers are 5 to 8 cm wide, white. Sepals are linear or linear- lanceolate, 2.5 to 3.5 cm long, 5 to 8 mm wide at base, obtuse, corniculate just below apex, the horn being up to 7 mm long, subfoliaceous.

Flowers. Short stemmed, usually unbranched, stoloniferous herb to 10-30 cm high, forming extensive dense carpets, leaves equitant, roots bright orange-red, some plants forming dwarf shrublets to 50 cm high on grey more or less erect stems.
