About: Aiphanes

An Entity of Type: plant, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Aiphanes is a genus of spiny palms which is native to tropical regions of South and Central America and the Caribbean. There are about 26 species in the genus (see below), ranging in size from understorey shrubs with subterranean stems to subcanopy trees as tall as 20 metres (66 ft). Most have pinnately compound leaves (leaves which are divided into leaflets arranged feather-like, in pairs along a central axis); one species has entire leaves. Stems, leaves and sometimes even the fruit are covered with spines. Plants flower repeatedly over the course of their lifespan and have separate male and female flowers, although these are borne together on the same inflorescence. Although records of pollinators are limited, most species appear to be pollinated by insects. The fruit are eaten by sever

  • Die Stachelpalmen (Aiphanes), auch Stilettpalmen, sind eine Pflanzengattung von 25 Arten der Palmengewächse (Arecaceae), die auf den Kleinen Antillen, sowie von Venezuela bis Bolivien entlang der Anden verbreitet sind. Bis auf eine Art, die noch Panama erreicht, fehlen die Stachelpalmen in Mittelamerika. Sie fallen vor allem durch ihre bis über 25 Zentimeter langen Stacheln auf, die die Pflanzen fast komplett bedecken. (de)
  • Aiphanes is a genus of spiny palms which is native to tropical regions of South and Central America and the Caribbean. There are about 26 species in the genus (see below), ranging in size from understorey shrubs with subterranean stems to subcanopy trees as tall as 20 metres (66 ft). Most have pinnately compound leaves (leaves which are divided into leaflets arranged feather-like, in pairs along a central axis); one species has entire leaves. Stems, leaves and sometimes even the fruit are covered with spines. Plants flower repeatedly over the course of their lifespan and have separate male and female flowers, although these are borne together on the same inflorescence. Although records of pollinators are limited, most species appear to be pollinated by insects. The fruit are eaten by several birds and mammals, including at least two species of amazon parrots. Carl Ludwig Willdenow coined the name Aiphanes in 1801. Before that, species belonging to the genus had been placed in Bactris or Caryota. The name Martinezia had also been applied to the genus, and between 1847 and 1932 it was generally used in place of Aiphanes. Max Burret resurrected the name Aiphanes in 1932, and laid the basis for the modern concept of the genus. Aiphanes is most closely related to several other genera of spiny palms—Acrocomia, Astrocaryum, Bactris and Desmoncus. Two species are widely planted as ornamentals and the fruit, seeds or palm heart of several species have been eaten by indigenous peoples of the Americas for millennia. (en)

  • Aiphanes adalah genus pohon berduri yang berasal dari daerah tropis di Amerika Selatan, Amerika Tengah, dan Karibia. Ukurannya beragam, ada yang tumbuh hingga setinggi 20 meter dan ada pula yang berupa semak-semak. Naman pohon ini berasal dari kata Yunani ai yang berarti "selalu" dan phaneros yang berarti "jelas", "terlihat" atau "mencolok". Dalam monograf terbitan mereka tahun 1996 tentang genus, ahli botani Finn Borchsenius dan Rodrigo Bernal menuliskan bahwa "ironisnya, spesies Aiphanes sangat sulit dikenali dan ditemukan di vegetasi yang lebat dan, karenanya, berada di antara pohon-pohon palem neotropis yang susah dikenali".

  • Aiphanes — род колючих пальм, произрастающий в тропических областях Южной и Центральной Америки и Карибского бассейна. В роду насчитывается около 28 видов, размером от кустарников до деревьев высотой 20 метров. Два вида часто культивируются в качестве декоративных растений. Плоды и семена некоторых видов традиционно, на протяжении тысячелетий, употреблялись в пищу коренными народами Центральной Америки. (ru)

  • A small palm stands in front of a square-mesh wire fence. The leaves are arranged somewhat loosely along the stem, not tightly clustered as they are in many other palms. Only the lower portion of the stem is free of leaves and that area is grey-brown with green tissue showing through in several places, most notably at the old leaf scars which encircle the stem at regular intervals. The stem and leaves are covered with long spines. The leaflets are wedge-shaped – narrow at the base, much broader towards the ends, but then narrowing again towards their tips. (en)
