Name the plant

Fallos Erectus is my choice of name

 

Talea gaudium

talea = stick, staff
gaudium = joy

 

alienus palma nemus

In English: alien palm tree

 

Giganticus or Divinam Phaluss Sativa Nemus!

 

mmmm "Plumes Palm Nemus" LOL just assuming Plumed/Feathered is correct.

or....Canna-alienus Palma Nemus

 

Tenuis Procerus Nemus Perfectionem (L)

Pls give more info is tree or plant is either poisonous, useable for timber etc and or Limited in Longetivity etc. etc.

Take note, my latin is, realy terrible. I do try tho;)

Suggestion: Why not make a new thread for every specimen for scientiffic discussion on it?

 

Veneficus Virga = Witches Broom

or

Veneficus Pulvis = Witches Duster

And that is how it looks like :D

I like it! But what about "Tall Witch-Broom Tree". Now the latin........

 

Suitable smily for the situation:

I'd actually like to partecipate in the classification of the flora but I'd like to implement a system which actually sounds similar to the real classification system and the latin nomenclature.

In order to properly "classify" the plants we should at least consider a couple classification factors to correctly identify the species:


GENUS This is the part of the plant name that is most familiar, the normal name that you give a plant - Papaver (Poppy), Aquilegia (Columbine), and so on. The plants in a Genus are often easily recognisable as belonging to the same group. The name of the Genus should be written with a capital letter.

SPECIES This is the level that defines an individual plant. Often, the name will describe some aspect of the plant - the colour of the flowers, size or shape of the leaves, or it may be named after the place where it was found. Together, the Genus and species name refer to only one plant, and they are used to identify that particular plant. Sometimes, the species is further divided into sub-species that contain plants not quite so distinct that they are classified as Varieties. The name of the species should be written after the Genus name, in small letters, with no capital letter.


This one for example:



The above could be considered to a pam tree of a sort

So palms belong to the following:

Kindom: Plantae
Division: Angiosperms (Plants which produce flowers) (similarly to Date palms or Washington palms)
Order: Arecales (palms)
Family: Arecaceae
Genus: To be defined*
Species: To be defined*

Using the above system I have come to understand there are a limited number of Genera of palms:

Archontophoenix—Bangalow palm
Areca—Betel palm
Bactris—Pupunha
Beccariophoenix—Beccariophoenix alfredii
Bismarckia—Bismark palm
Borassus—Palmyra palm, Sugar palm, Toddy palm
Calamus—Rattan palm
Cocos—Coconut
Copernicia—Carnauba wax palm
Corypha—Gebang palm, Buri palm or Talipot palm
Elaeis—Oil palm
Euterpe—Cabbage Heart palm, Açaí Palm
Hyphaene—Doum Palm
Jubaea—Chilean Wine Palm, Coquito palm
Latania—Latan palm
Livistona—Cabbage Palm
Mauritia—Moriche Palm
Metroxylon—Sago palm
Phoenix—Date palm
Raphia—Raffia palm
Roystonea—Royal palm
Sabal—Palmettos
Salacca—Salak
Syagrus—Queen palm
Trachycarpus—Windmill palm, Kumaon palm
Washingtonia—Fan palm

So basically we have to select one of the above by similarity and then define it as an idividual species by completing its name.

In this way we will avoid giving completely different names to plants which look familiar to the ones we have in our gardens.

Let me know If I need to find some other hobby to keep me busy. :)

 

As a consequence to the post above I'd probably go with :

Hyphaene ruber

I have chosen the Hyphaene as they share a common base for several palms.

Ruber is red in latin language.
