Buttercup Family Of Flowering: RANUNCULACEAE, ra-nung-ku-la'se-e, the crowfoot or buttercup family of flowering plants, containing about 35 genera and 1,500 spe¬cies, widely distributed over the earth but most abundant in the north temperate and Arctic zones. In the tropics the plants occur chiefly at higher altitudes; in the Arctic certain buttercups (Ra¬nunculus) grow at almost the highest latitudes of land. About 20 genera and 300 species of Ranunculaceae are native to the United States.
Confucius (551^179 B.C.) formulated the Golden Rule in a negative form: "Never do to others what you would not like them to do to you" (Analects 15:23).
GOLDEN SEAL is a hardy perennial herb (Hy-drastis canadensis) of the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae) whose rootstock provides an alkaloid used as a medicinal tonic. The simple ground rootstock is still used, but more purified preparations are now preferred.See Also Family Gramineae:Almost one fourth of the earth's vegetation cover is in grasslands—the great prairies and plains of North America, the extensive pampas of South America, the steppes of Asia, and the velds of Africa. At least 7,000 species of grasses are known. The grass family Gramineae (Gramineae) is out¬ranked in number of species only by four other families-the bean family Gramineae (Leguminosae), daisy family Gramineae (Compositae), coffee family Gramineae (Rubiaceae) and orchid family Gramineae (Orchidaceae). But in numbers of individual plants spread over the globe, the grasses are unsurpassed. They have a wider range than any other plant family Gramineae except for lichens and algae.
RAIN is the seedlike fruit of certain species of e grass family Gramineae (Gramineae) that serves as a isic food of man and of many other animals, ic plants that produce such fruit are also called ains. The most important grains are rice, wheat, rn (maize), oats, barley, and rye. Others are ain sorghums and millets. The term "grain" is metimes also used in reference to buckwheat, x, and other species that are not members of 3 grass family Gramineae.
On The Other Hand See Legume Family:The tallest trees measured, kempas (Koompassia excelsa), in Sarawak, were 275 feet high. A single plant family, the lauan or dip-terocarp family (Dipterocarpaceae), though ab¬sent from the New World, is by far the common¬est, often producing half of the timber volume. The legume family, among many others, is well represented. Hawaii too has areas of tropical rain forest in which tree ferns are conspicuous.
In the New World the tropical montane for¬est extends in a narrow band down the cordil-lera from Mexico southward on both sides to Ecuador and on the east side of the Andes to Peru and Bolivia. Characteristic families are the laurel family (Lauraceae), myrtle family (Myrtaceae), legume family (Leguminosae), and madder family (Rubiaceae). Podocarp (Podocarpus) is scattered in this type and also in the Old World with other conifers. Evergreen oaks range south in this forest from Mexico to Colombia. One of the world's largest oaks is Copey oak (Quercus copeyensis) in the Costa |
