About: Kingia

An Entity of Type: Genus108108972, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Kingia is a genus consisting of a single species, Kingia australis, and belongs to the plant family Dasypogonaceae. It has a thick pseudo-trunk consisting of accumulated leaf-bases, with a cluster of long, slender leaves on top. The trunk is usually unbranched, but can branch if the growing tip is damaged. Flowers occur in egg-shaped clusters on the ends of up to 100 long curved stems. Kingia grows extremely slowly, the trunk increasing in height by about 1½ centimetres per year. It can live for centuries, however, so can attain a substantial height; 400-year-old plants with a height of six metres are not unusual.

  • Kingia australis est une plante arborescente de la famille des Dasypogonaceae. Unique représentant du genre Kingia, elle peut cependant être facilement confondue avec certaines espèces du genre Xanthorrhoea. Cette espèce est endémique d'Australie. Le nom du genre Kingia a été donné en l'honneur de Philip Parker King, explorateur des côtes australiennes, et de son père Philip Gidley King, le troisième Gouverneur de Nouvelle-Galles du Sud. (fr)
  • Kingia es un género monotípico de plantas de flores perteneciente a la familia Dasypogonaceae. Su única especie: Kingia australis, es originaria de Australia. (es)
  • Kingia australis is een Australische grasboom. Het is de enige soort in het genus Kingia. Ze wordt veelal ingedeeld in de familie Dasypogonaceae. Voorheen werden alle planten die nu tot deze familie Dasypogonaceae horen wel ingedeeld in de familie Xanthorrhoeaceae. Deze twee families samen delen de opmerkelijke groeivorm die 'grasboom' heet. Ondanks deze oppervlakkige gelijkenis zijn de beide families niet zeer nauw verwant. (nl)
  • Kingia australis är en enhjärtbladig växtart som beskrevs av Robert Brown. Kingia australis ingår i släktet Kingia och familjen Dasypogonaceae. Inga underarter finns listade. (sv)
  • Kingia é um género que consiste em uma única espécie, Kingia australis, e pertence à família Dasypogonaceae da planta. Possui um pseudo-tronco espesso, constituído por bases foliares acumuladas, com um aglomerado de folhas longas e esguias por cima. O tronco geralmente não é ramificado, mas pode se ramificar se a ponta crescente estiver danificada. A Kingia cresce extremamente lentamente, o tronco é que aumenta na altura por aproximadamente um centímetro e meio por ano. Pode viver por séculos, no entanto, assim, pode atingir uma altura substancial; Kingias de 400 anos de idade, com uma altura de seis metros não são incomuns. (pt)
