Outcrop of orbicular granite near Caldera, Chile. Close-up of orbicular granite near Caldera, Chile. Orbicular granite (also known as orbicular rock or orbiculite) is an uncommon plutonic rock type which is usually granitic in composition. These rocks have a unique appearance due to orbicules - concentrically layered, spheroidal structures, probably formed through nucleation around a grain in a cooling magma chamber due to rapid physical changes.

In the Namaqualand, South Africa, just west of the small town of Concordia, there is a rare occurrence of orbicular granite. The outcrop, known as Orbicule Hill or "wonderkoppie" (as it is locally known), is a provincial heritage site and one of just two known occurrences in South Africa. When cut and polished, the granite has a very attractive pinkish colour with lighter and darker shades of grey oval shaped or orbicular inclusions. Orbiculite has been used to make jewellery and other decorative items in the past, but due to its rarity in South Africa, it is not commercially exploited and has become more a curiosity due to it being considered something of an enigma in geology.

It is a relatively large moth that is superficially unlike any other species in North America. The forewing is a hoary gray with a large entirely black crescent- shaped reniform spot that is fused posteriorly with the black orbicular spot. It is most closely related to Hypotrix quindiensis (Draudt, 1924) that was originally described as a form of H. lunata; it occurs from Colombia to Peru. Hypotrix lunata differs from H. quindiensis in having a smaller orbicular spot (the two sides of the black mark formed by the fusion of the spots are similar in size in H. quindiensis), the postmedial line is an even black line (an irregular series of black dashes in H. quindiensis ending in a black spot on the costa), the basal line is obscure (a contrasting black spot in H. quindiensis) and the hindwing is fuscous, not dirty white.

The forewings are dark yellow with dark reddish speckling up to the postmedial line, purplish-grey between the PM and ST lines, and dark brown beyond the ST line except for a pale apical patch. The reniform spot is orbicular, and there are dark yellow claviform spots. The hindwings are greyish, becoming darker towards the outer margin. There is one generation per year with adults on wing from August to October.
|
|
There is also a large rounded white patch at the apex and a smaller one at the middle of the costa and a flattened one at the anal angle. The inner line is outcurved at the middle and the outer line is double, followed on the costa by two short white strigae. The stigmata is pale, with dark outlines and the orbicular is dotlike. The reniform is oblong and vertical.

On the inner surface of the pitcher cup, the digestive glands form a conspicuous band of black dots around the waterline of the pitcher fluid. Glands located elsewhere on the interior of the pitcher are yellow and far less prominent. This species does not appear to possess the highly viscous pitcher fluid of species such as N. inermis. The lid is sub-orbicular and up to 2.9 cm long by 2.8 cm wide.

Adults are fuscous, the forewings with the basal area greyish, bounded by an obliquely sinuous line. There are small, dark-edged grey orbicular and reniform spots and an ill-defined sinuous grey line from the lower angle of the cell to the inner margin, as well as an irregular grey submarginal line joined by an oblique mark from the apex. The hindwings are grey., 1896, The Fauna of British India, Moths 4: 462.

The length of the forewings is 17–20 mm. The ground colour is greenish grey, sometimes speckled or dusted with darker grey. The reniform and orbicular marks are generally clear and distinct, but in some examples they are united and form a whitish blotch outlined in blackish; the cross lines are usually well defined, but in the dark grey dusted form are very obscure. The moth flies from February to April depending on the location.

Large nectaries are located between the ribs. The pitcher lid is orbicular to ovate and is often held roughly horizontally, at a right angle to the pitcher orifice. It has a rounded to emarginate apex and a slightly cordate base, and measures up to 4 cm in length by 3 cm in width. It has no appendages, but bears numerous nectar glands, which are scattered quite evenly across the entire lower surface of the lid.
|
|
There is an orbicular of two brown bars, filled with fulvous. The reniform consists of two opposed arcs between the subcostal and median veins, filled with fulvous, which colour also occupies the costa, the terminal area and the tornal region. The hindwings are white, with a median line which is forked on the cell and filled with fulvous. The subterminal and marginal lines run parallel to the margin and are filled with fulvous.

Nepenthes sumatrana is distinguished by its infundibular upper pitchers (versus cylindrical in N. beccariana), which have a raised section at the front of the peristome. In addition, the ovoid lower pitchers of N. sumatrana have orbicular lids, as opposed to the ovate operculum of N. beccariana. The unidentified taxon (N. cf. beccariana) that grows along the road from Sibolga to Tarutung is similar to N. longifolia, but is atypical of the species.

Fitzgerald was known for her left-eye "wink". This winking became uncontrollable due to an extra amount of tension in her orbicular muscles. While this wink was her trademark in the industry, it was quite controversial, and was also uncomfortable and had effects on her health. She did not have control over the wink, which was more so a twitch, and the wink outside of the studio was sometimes taken as a promiscuity.

It differs from X. bolteri in that H. alamosa has smaller reniform, orbicular, and claviform spots, and in lacking spiniform setae on the tibiae. The pale form of H. alamosa looks like the specimens have been bleached, so the forewing is light orange with the maculation weakly defined by fine yellow lines. The dark and light forms frequently occur together and the two syntypes of H. alamosa represent a specimen of each form.

Black scales occur along the anterior margin of the subterminal line, forming a distinct black spot in cell M5. These black scales gradually fade between vein M5 and the costa and below vein M1. The outer margin has a series of black dots between the veins and the orbicular and reniform (kidney- shaped) spots are poorly demarcated by thin gray lines. A black dot occurs in the lower margin of the reniform spot.

The wingspan is 34–40 mm. Forewing reddish grey, more or less dusted with dark: inner and outer lines blackish, indistinct; orbicular and reniform stigmata ringed with ochreous; submarginal line ochreous preceded by a fuscous or rufous shade; claviform mostly unmarked; veins towards termen pale: hindwing grey, the fringe paler. The species varies according to the amount of red present; — ab. pallida Tutt is pale grey, sometimes with an ochreous flush; — obliqua Vill.
|
|
There is a dark brown blotch near the middle of the wing, with a white dot on the lower edge and dark diagonal dashes along the upper edge next to the costa. The orbicular spot has the form of a small pale patch and there are three or four dark oblong wedges which represent the subterminal line. The terminal line consists of a series of dark dots. The hindwings are greyish brown.

In fruit, the orbicular to broadly elliptic bracteoles enlarge up to 7.5-14 × 6–12 mm and form a flattened wing-like structure. They become bright pink to red-tinged, yellowish green, or whitish, making the plant one of the more colorful shrubs in the springtime habitat. The enclosed fruit (utricle) is brown, 1.5–2 mm, with free pericarp. The vertically orientated seed is compressed-lenticular and has a brown, tuberculate seed coat.
|
|
They are broadly ovate, orbicular, or elliptic in shape. They have a 2cm long petiole, and they are wide and long, with 10-12 pairs of lateral, prominent veins. It has terminal (end of stem), clusters of blooms, appearing from spring to autumn, from May to July, or between April and October. They are highly fragrant, and the scent is thought to be very similar to that of the Singapore White plumeria.

Viburnum molle Ohio Division of Natural Resources Viburnum molle is a woody shrub that spreads by underground runners. It produces clusters of small white flowers in late spring. It has distinctive papery bark which peels off in sheets. Although it bears a superficial resemblance to the more widespread Viburnum dentatum, it can be distinguished by its ovate-orbicular leaves with strictly cordate leaf bases, its prominent long-filiform stipules, and its ellipsoid fruit.
|
|
The area beyond the antemedial line is suffused with brown and there are some short faint waved brown lines from the costa. The orbicular spot is represented by a speck and the reniform is elongate, with a dark outline. There is also a faint waved double postmedial line filled in with bright chestnut towards the inner margin and a curved pink band from the apex to the outer angle. The hindwings are fuscous.
|
|
It has large, lightly scented, flowers that are up to in diameter, and they come in shades of lilac, mauve-blue, violet-blue, purple-blue, violet, or blue. It has 2 pairs of petals, 3 large sepals (outer petals), known as the 'falls' and 3 inner, smaller petals (or tepals, known as the 'standards'.} The falls are broadly ovate, elliptic, or orbicular with a long claw (section leading to the stem). The fall is long, and 2.5 cm wide.
|
|
The forewings are grey white, thickly irrorated (sprinkled) and suffused with grey brown to beyond the middle and on the terminal area, leaving a slightly irrorated broad postmedial whitish band. There is an obscure antemedial waved white line, curled outwards and forming a hook above the inner margin. The orbicular and reniform are very large, defined by black, and with black centers. There is a postmedial black speck on the costa, followed by an obliquely curved minutely waved line.

Abstract and full article: The length of the forewings is 16–22 mm for males and 16–23 mm for females. Adults of both sexes have an orange-brown forewing and fuscous hindwing with males averaging slightly darker than females. Most females have a dark streak through the orbicular and reniform spots, but the streak does not normally extend to the postmedial line or into the basal area of the wing. Adults emerge in early summer and overwinter.

The dark mignonette orchid was first formally described in 1907 by Richard Sanders Rogers from a specimen collected from a swamp near Myponga. In 2002, David Jones and Garry Brockman changed the name to Hydrorchis cupularis but the change has not been accepted by the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families. The specific epithet (orbicularis) is a Latin word meaning "orbicular" or "having the form of a small circle", referring to the shape of the labellum.

The shrub usually has a bushy habit and grows to a height of less that but can reach as high as . It is often composed of five to six main branches diverging at the base of the plant. The branches are erect or arched and split into ribbed, brown to green, smooth, hairy branchlets. The dark grey-green to green coloured phyllodes are flat or convex with an elliptic to broadly elliptic or slightly orbicular shape.
|
|
The forewings are pale whitish gray, the antemedian area suffused with rufous below the median nervure and limited by the outer line of the blackish antemedian line, which is minutely dentate above the median nervure. The orbicular is small but conspicuous and ringed with blackish grey. The reniform is ill-defined and black with whitish scales. The postmedian area is diffused with pale rufous and defined on the outside by a serrate blackish line beyond the postmedian line.
|
|
The inflorescence is axillary, with and a two- flowered umbel or a four-flowered raceme or spike; there are nearly orbicular bracts beneath each flower. The flower has six free petals. The stamens are nearly equal, and the anthers are dorsifixed and versatile, having a short sterile tip with the free part of the filament about 2 mm long. The peduncle is 6–9 mm long and up to 20 mm when the inflorescence is a raceme.

They are rather small plants with a rosette of simple orbicular or ovate leaves, with a flower stem bearing generally rather lax racemes of simple white, cream or pink flowers. The immediate distinguishing feature of Pyrola species is the flower style which is often curved, sticks out beyond the petals and is expanded below the stigma which itself is branched into several lobes. To the casual observer the flower appears to have a small bell-clapper sticking out.
|
|
The subbasal and antemedial lines are black. There is a slight oblique black streak before the latter, above the inner margin. The claviform spot is red-brown, defined by black and with a black streak from it to the postmedial line. The orbicular and reniform spots are defined by blackish except above and there is an oblique blackish shade from the costa to the reniform, as well as a waved line from the submedian fold to the inner margin.

|
The subbasal, antemedial and postmedial lines are dark brown and there is a subterminal line consisting of a series of pale-buff dots with dark brown shading proximally that highlights the line. The reniform spot is kidney shaped, infuscated with dark-brown shading from the medial line. The orbicular spot is rounded and generally paler than the ground color and outlined by a thin dark-brown line. The hindwings are pale fuscous basally with darker fuscous toward the margin.

Fruit The winged fruit is notched (slightly retuse) on both ends; the wings are broad, approximately 3.5mm wide, and with longitudinal veins near their margins. The fruit is broadly oblong/ellipsoid or orbicular in shape, 8-12mm across, approximately as long as wide. The seeds are narrowly ovoid-ellipsoid in shape, approximately 4mm wide. Karyotypy R. webbianum populations apparently are found in both diploid and tetraploid forms, having a chromosome count of 2n=22 or 2n=44.
|
|
The forewings are uniform smoky dark blackish brown with brown filling of the antemedial and postmedial lines that is most evident as dots on the costa. The weakly figure-eight shaped reniform spot, orbicular spot, and short claviform spot are black filled with ground color or slightly darker scales. The male hindwing is pearly grey distal to the spot that accentuates the vein asymmetry. The hindwing of the female is smoky dark with dark but less conspicuous veins.
|
|
The forewings are whitish ochreous, dusted with dull rust, most thickly in the submarginal area and along the costa. The stigmata is large and filled up with the same colour and united to the costal streak. The first line is hardly visible, touching the inside of the orbicular stigma and the second line is ferruginous, runs near to and nearly parallel with the hindmargin, only making a small indentation above the inner margin. There are four dull ferruginous subapical costal dashes.
|
|
The wingspan is 25–30 mm. Seitz describes it: Forewing smaller than nana, with a vertical white fascia, the orbicular stigma, the white blotch beyond claviform and a blotch at middle of inner margin being confluent; no apical white blotch; — in viscariae Guen. the white fascia becomes yellowish or brownish; — humilis Christ [now full species Hadena humilis (Christoph, 1893)], from Armenia and the Taurus Mts., also has the fascia discoloured and much reduced in size, the ground colour often being dull grey.
|
|
It mostly flowers in the summer months between November and March. The inflorescences occur in groups of two to eight usually as axillary clusters with spherical flower-heads containing 20 to 40 cream coloured flowers. The thinly coriaceous seed pods that form after flowering have a length of up to and a width of and have a prominent nerve along the margin. The slightly shiny dark brown flat seeds within the pod have an oblong to orbicular shape with a length of .
|
|
They contain (1) 3-5 herbaceous, unkeeled perianth segments, connate only at base or nearly to the middle, sometimes missing; a circle of 1-5 stamens; and an ovary with 2-4 stigmas. In fruit, the perianth becomes either succulent or dry and hard. The pericarp is membranous and usually adhering to the vertically orientated, broadly ovate to orbicular seed. The seed coat is dark brown to black, its surface can be dull, almost smooth, slightly striate, rugulose, or reticulate.

|
|
The subbasal, antemedial and postmedial lines are very faint and indicated by paler lines bordered on each side by scattered pale-brown scales. The subterminal line is more distinct because of darker shading in the terminal area and the outer part of the subterminal area adjacent to it. The reniform and orbicular spots are slightly darker than the ground color and are outlined in white. The terminal area is darker than the remainder of the forewing because of more numerous gray-brown scales.
|
|
Leaves It has a stout, long petiole on its basal leaves which is shorter than blade and papilliferous. Leaves are leathery, and green on the upper side and muricate on the lower, or papillose or glabrous. The shape of the leaf blade is entire, orbicular, cordate (heart- shaped), reniform-cordate to reniform (kidney-shaped) in shape, long (more usually ), from (more usually ) wide, and with the blade shorter than wide. The leaf blade has five to 7, nearly basal, main veins.
|
|
The forewings are streaky medium- grey to dark brown-grey with streaks of warm light orange tan to yellow tan at the postreniform patch, in the fold, and in the large pointed claviform spot. A thin tan line parallels the margin near the anal angle. The reniform and orbicular spots are outlined in black with paler peripheral and darker central scaling. The distal forewing is streaky due to black veins and pale-grey scales and the transverse lines are obsolete.
|
|
They have a small, darker signal area, of almost black purple, and (unlike other Oncocyclus Irises) has no veining. In the middle of the falls, is a narrow row of short hairs called the 'beard', which are white, cream, or yellow, tipped with purple. The larger and paler standards, are obovate or orbicular (oval or round shaped), long and wide. It has a horizontal, style branch that is long and reddish, or brownish-yellow, with red-purple dots or spots.

The antemedial line is angled with the outward apex occurring just below the orbicular spot. The inner side of the antemedial line is a light band followed by a darker brown line. The postmedial line is an almost straight, light line, followed by a light tan or gray region of the subterminal area, which gradually becomes darker in the subterminal area. The hindwings of both the male and female are whitish, suffused with dull gray brown, more heavily in the female than the male.
|

The forewings are whitish ocherous with a few orange scales at the base. The middle half of the costa is fuscous, bordered irregularly with a streak of ocherous brown. There is a fuscous spot near the middle of the fold, another near the dorsum about midway between this and the anal angle, as well as an orbicular and a discal fuscous dot. A streak of brownish suffusion is found in the dorsal half of the cell, extending to the termen, gradually widened to the apex.
|
|
The wingspan is 58–68 mm. The length of the forewings is 24–29 mm. Forewing long and narrow. Differs from Xylena vetusta in being mainly dark or blackish grey, the ochreous ground showing only in a longitudinal streak above the median vein broadening along vein 5; orbicular stigma large and well-marked, with black linear centre and outline; lines marked by pairs of black spots on veins; submarginal line preceded by two wedgeshaped black marks which do not reach the reniform; hindwing dark fuscous.

The spikelets have fertile florets that are diminished at the apex while the sterile florets are barren, clumped and orbicular. Both the upper and lower glumes are keelless, membranous, long, and light green in colour. They are also have acute apexes but are different in the amount of veins and other features; Lower glume is 1–3 veined and is ovate while the upper one is only 3–5 veined and is linear. Its lemma have scabrous and tuberculate surface with an obtuse apex.

Hoya bilobata is an evergreen perennial that is generally found trailing, but can have a climbing habit that grows to 24 inches or longer. H. bilobata can be considered either an epiphyte or a lithophyte. The H. bilobata leaves have a variable, sub- orbicular or broadly elliptic shape, with the leaf base being rounded to sub- acute and the leaf apex being obtuse-rounded. The adaxial surface of the leaves are a dull, olive-green colour with the abaxial surface being a lighter green.

Nepenthes lingulata is thought to be most closely related to N. izumiae, with which it shares the general morphology and colouration of its pitchers. However, it can be easily distinguished from that species on the basis of the highly developed filiform appendage that hangs over the pitcher mouth. It also differs in having a triangular lid, as opposed to the orbicular lid of N. izumiae. Furthermore, N. lingulata completely lacks nectar glands on the underside of the lid and has a very dense woolly indumentum.

The antemedial line is represented by black or fuscous spots and there is a black spot below the discal cell near the base. The orbicular stigma and discoidal stigma are black and there is a series of short black streaks along the vein. The postmedial line is represented by a series of black or fuscous spots and there are some indistinct fuscous streaks in the terminal interspaces. The hindwings are yellowish-white and the subterminal line consists of a series of small fuscous points.

Buddleja indica grows to < 4 m in height in the wild, its branches climbing or trailing. The leaves are opposite, smooth, and dark green, ranging from 2 - 5 cm long by 2 - 5 cm wide, occasionally with petioles < 3 - 10 mm long. The leaf shape, as implied by the synonym, is extremely variable, from orbicular to oak-like. The small clusters of sparse and insignificant greenish yellow to yellow or white flowers are borne in the axils of the leaves at the end of the shoots.

|
|
The length of the forewings is about 15 mm. Adults are purplish brownish grey, the forewings with a slender, black, erect, sinuous antemedial line, and an outwardly-angulated postmedial line. Contiguous to the latter are two or three less distinct lines, followed by a more distinct submarginal denticulated line and a marginal row of short linear spots. Between the medial bands, the area is grey and the orbicular and reniform spots are pinkish, and both are bordered posteriorly by a raised tuft of brown scales.

A sacred, ethereal, spiritual world in the very center of the entire universe itself, where time and space do not exist. In the Fortress, the wisest of thousands of other planets and worlds are gathered to discuss the state of the worlds which are of their concern. They simply observe and do not interfere. The fifth and last Guardian is rightful Keeper of the mystical Heart of Candracar, an ancient and immensely powerful crystal orbicular pendant which gives the girls' their ability to transform into their taller, stronger and more elaborate Guardian costumes.

The forewings are pale rufous, the inner area whitish and irrorated with a few black scales. The antemedial line is absent and the orbicular and reniform are grey defined by fuscous, the former round, the latter irregularly quadrate. The terminal half of the costa has a series of small dark spots and the postmedial line consists of a series of black points and traces of a minutely dentate line between them, slightly excurved from the costa to vein 4, then oblique. There is a terminal series of prominent black points.
|
|
The species are annual or perennial, with a creeping monopodial rhizome with the leaves arranged in two vertical rows, or an erect main shoot with roots at the base and spirally arranged or whorled leaves. The leaves are simple and usually found submerged, though they may be found floating or partially emerse. As with many aquatics they can be very variable in shape – from linear to orbicular, with or without a petiole, and with or without a sheathing base. The flowers are arranged in a forked, spathe-like bract or between two opposite bracts.

He seems to have recognised the communication of the convoluted surface of the brain and that between the lateral cavities beneath the fornix. He described the corpora striata and optic thalami; the four orbicular eminences, with the bridge, which he first named annular protuberance; and the white mammillary eminences, behind the infundibulum. In the cerebellum he remarks the arborescent arrangement of the white and grey matter and gives a good account of the internal carotids and the communications which they make with the branches of the basilar artery. Willis replaced Nemesius's doctrine.

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.

Nepenthes izumiae is thought to be most closely allied to two other Sumatran endemics: N. lingulata and N. singalana. With the former, N. izumiae shares the general morphology and colouration of its pitchers. However, it can be easily distinguished from that species as it lacks the highly developed filiform appendage that gives N. lingulata its name. It also differs in typically having an orbicular lid, as opposed to the triangular lid of N. lingulata, as well as broader pitchers with more highly developed peristome ribs and an unbranched spur.

In June, guanacaste seedlings can already be seen, germinating in the moist soil of the early rainy season. Guanacaste fruits are large (7–12 cm diameter), glossy dark brown indehiscent and spirally-organized pods, shaped like orbicular disks. Their shape suggests the usual Mimosoideae fruit – a long, narrow, flattened pod – taken and wound around an axis perpendicular to its plane. Made of thick, soft tissue with a leathery feel, the pods contain 8-20 radially arranged seeds, 14.5–17.5 mm long, 7.8–11.2 mm wide, and 6.2–7.2 mm thick and weighing about 1 g.

The wingspan is 28–36 mm. Forewing greyish rufous; costal area paler for two-thirds, edged below at base by a fine dark streak; claviform stigma small and obscure; cell black brown; the two stigmata pale, orbicular variable, sometimes large, sometimes contracted to a white spot; hindwing dark grey; antennae of male serrate, with sessile fascicles of cilia. In the form hebridicola Stgr., from the Hebrides, the forewing becomes paler and loses the red tinge; in scopariae Mill, from France the red tinge is overpowered by black suffusion.

The leaves are basal, simple, pinnately veined above the base, long-petiolate, and slightly hairy/downy on both sides. They are dark green in color. Leaf blades cordate to rounded (orbicular), 3-5 cm long; the basal lobes are rounded; the apex is blunt to rounded; the margins are scalloped, with low rounded teeth (crenate); and the petioles are hairy, 3-10 cm long. The common name false violet comes not only from the heart-shaped leaves, but also because this plant, like violets, produces two kinds of flowers.

Napoleonite is a variety of diorite which is characterized by orbicular structure. The grey matrix of the stone has the normal appearance of a diorite, but contains many rounded lumps 1 or 2 inches in diameter, which show concentric zones of light and dark colors. In these spheroids also a distinct and well-marked radial arrangement of the crystals is apparent. The center of the spheroid is usually white or pale grey and consists mainly of feldspar; the same mineral makes the pale zones while the dark ones are rich in hornblende and pyroxene.
|
|
It is an extremely variable species in terms of size, ground color and pattern, yet is easily identified by a combination of features. The orbicular spot is usually rounded, surrounded by a thin black line, and the spot itself usually is paler than the ground color. The reniform spot is oblique, with the lower part of the spot projecting toward the anal angle of the wing. The light and dark marks on the forewing, and the tendency for longitudinal streaks on the wing, give the forewing a busy appearance.
|
|
The wingspan is 30–40 mm. Forewing sandy rufous, black speckled, median area generally deeper rufous: lines browner, forewing purplish red brown; the lines pale, ill defined, except by black spots at costa; the cell black; stigmata pale and large; claviform connected with outer line by a black bar; above which the base of vein 2 is often surrounded with rufous; hindwing fuscous. The size of the orbicular stigma is variable, and the amount and shape of the black filling in of the cell is determined by this variation; — in ab. gothicina H.-Sch.

In the wild, the orbicular batfish is found in brackish or marine waters, usually around reefs, at depths from 5 to 30 meters. Its range extends from the Red Sea and East Africa in the east to the Tuamotu Islands in French Polynesia in the west, and from southern Japan in the north to northern Australia and New Caledonia. It has been recorded off the coast of Florida, though this may be the result of dumping of aquarium specimens. Juvenile fish are solitary or live in small groups, among mangroves or other inner sheltered lagoons.
|
|
The dark reniform and orbicular spots are less prominent, the basal, antemedial, and postmedial lines are faint or absent, and the subterminal line is often evident as a pale W-mark. The postreniform patch is relatively small, and the medial area is often lighter than the ground color near the claviform spot. The hindwing is off white with dark veins and terminal area in males and darker gray with light base and dark veins in females. Adults are on wing in the desert spring, between March and early May depending on winter rainfall.

Along the upper part of the line of junction of the anterior surface with the head is a shallow groove, best marked in elderly subjects; this groove lodges the orbicular fibers of the capsule of the hip- joint. The posterior surface is smooth, and is broader and more concave than the anterior: the posterior part of the capsule of the hip-joint is attached to it about 1 cm. above the intertrochanteric crest. The superior border is short and thick, and ends laterally at the greater trochanter; its surface is perforated by large foramina.

The forewings are pale greyish fuscous with a yellowish tinge, the forewings with an obscure oblique antemedial dark line defined by whitish on the inner side and almost obsolete towards the costa. There is a white orbicular spot and a large lunulate discoidal spot. The postmedial line has three conjoined dentate white marks on the outer edge below the costa, excurved and more or less strongly defined by white between veins 5 and 2, then retracted to near the base of vein 2 and with a white spot in the angle. The hindwings have a prominent white discoidal spot.

Nepenthes faizaliana also bears a resemblance to N. fusca. In their description of the former, J. H. Adam and C. C. Wilcock distinguished these taxa on the basis of inflorescence structure, the size of the glandular region on the inner surface of upper pitchers, and the development and characteristics of the indumentum. Nepenthes fusca also differs in having a very narrow pitcher lid, as opposed to the orbicular lid of N. faizaliana. Nepenthes platychila, another closely allied species, differs from N. fusca in having a much wider peristome and lid, and lacking appendages on its lower lid surface.

Diorite Orbicular diorite from Corsica (corsite) Diorite classification on QAPF diagram Mineral assemblage of igneous rocks Diorite () is an intrusive igneous rock composed principally of the silicate minerals plagioclase feldspar (typically andesine), biotite, hornblende, and/or pyroxene. The chemical composition of diorite is intermediate, between that of mafic gabbro and felsic granite. Diorite is usually grey to dark grey in colour, but it can also be black or bluish-grey, and frequently has a greenish cast. It is distinguished from gabbro on the basis of the composition of the plagioclase species; the plagioclase in diorite is richer in sodium and poorer in calcium.

The veins beyond the cell have slight dark streaks and there is a black-brown fascia below the base of the submedian fold. The antemedial line is black and there is an oblique black-brown shade before it on the inner area, as well as a shade beyond it in the submedian interspace to the postmedial line, filling in the claviform spot, which is large, defined by black and extending to the cell. The orbicular and reniform spots are large and defined by black. There is a slight oblique brown shade from the middle of the costa extending into the reniform.

Nepenthes suratensis also has a characteristically flattened peristome, unlike the cylindrical lip found in N. andamana. Furthermore, the pitcher lid of N. suratensis is broadly to narrowly ovate and typically somewhat smaller than the trap's orifice, whereas that of N. andamana is orbicular to broadly ovate and usually slightly larger than the mouth. The lid of N. suratensis is also distinct in that it often has irregularly wavy margins and bears a small depression under its apex. In N. suratensis, the pitcher mouth is triangular as opposed to ovate, and larger in relation to the size of the trap.

Although the lower pitchers on immature rosettes are similar in general morphology, the species differ in the shape of lower pitchers on rosettes sprouting from mature plants. Those of N. sumatrana are ovoid throughout, with an orbicular lid and the hip immediately beneath the peristome, and are contracted at an angle of 45° to the mouth. Those of N. longifolia are ovoid in the lower parts, having the hip around the middle and an ovate lid. In addition, the upper pitchers of N. longifolia do not give off a noticeable smell, whereas those of N. sumatrana have a sweet, fruity fragrance.

Myosotidium is a genus of plants belonging to the family Boraginaceae. This genus is represented by the single species Myosotidium hortensia, the giant forget-me-not or Chatham Islands forget-me-not, which is endemic to the Chatham Islands, New Zealand. The biogeography is yet unresolved, but its ancestors may have originated from the American continent, as Myosotidium hortensia was found to be sister to the South American plant genus Selkirkia and both genera being sister to the North American genus Mimophytum. Myosotidium hortensia is a fleshy herb with large orbicular somewhat fleshy leaves and appearingly parallel leaf venation.

There is a patch of yellow-green scales below it, as well as a black mark above the inner margin across the inner line with a smaller duplication above vein 1, marked with green scales within. The inner line is narrow, single, black and bent inward toward the base below vein 1. The median line is represented by two grey marks on the costa and there is an orbicular black dot. The reniform is brokenly outlined in black and the outer line is thick and oblique from the costa to vein 5, sending a bar to the outer margin.

The complex inflorescences are carried at the end of the branches. These consist of a number of crowded clusters. Each of the clusters is subtended by white to yellowish green, wavy, ovate to orbicular bracts that have a spiny margin, and further consist of one to five flower heads which each contain only a single disk floret. The most outward part of the flower head is the involucre, which is narrowly vase-shaped to cylindric and approximately high, and consists of about six worls of four bracts called phyllaries, which have often soft woolly hairs around the edge.

One straight near the base and the other near the hind margin. The two stigmata are dark fuscous and there is a short, wedge-shaped, straw-coloured spot before the orbicular and a larger, subquadrate one between the stigmata, and a large pale costal blotch of the same colour before the second transverse line, reaching more than half across the wing, and filling up the concavity in the line. On the costa, beyond the line, another smaller pale spot is found. The hindwings are very pale straw- colour, with a central spot, a sinuous submarginal band and a broad marginal band.

Although similar in size to polecats, its attenuate body, long neck, very short legs, slim tail, large orbicular ears and close-set pelage is much closer in conformation to weasels and stoats. The dentition of the black- footed ferret closely resembles that of the European and steppe polecat, though the back lower molar is vestigial, with a hemispherical crown which is too small and weak to develop the little cusps which are more apparent in polecats. Males measure in body length and in tail length, thus constituting 22–25% of its body length. Females are typically 10% smaller than males.

Adults are very similar to Choristostigma elegantalis, but the ground colour of the forewings is paler, the orbicular and reniform spots filled with rather shiny whitish and the latter smaller and much more constricted centrally, being almost divided into two equal triangular spots. There is a faint silvery band in the costal portion of the wing and a broader bluish patch between the bend and the inner margin. The hindwings are paler than in C. elegantalis with only faint, smoky suffusion outwardly and an obsolescent postmedian line. Adults have been recorded on wing from April to August.

Bartholina burmanniana was one of the earliest of the Cape orchids to be described in published works reputedly due to its unusual beauty. Bartholina is dwarf genus, with B. burmanniana reaching up to between 50-220mm tall. It is a terrestrial orchid, with a single or double root-stem tuberoid, 9-12x 5-8mm, which is replaced annually. Bartholina burmanniana has a single, prostrate, basal leaf that is sessile to the stem. It is smooth with a dark green cordate or orbicular base 10-40 x 8-20mm with a fringe of hairs along the margins.

The wingspan is about 29.5–35 mm. The forewings are granular mossy green, occasionally yellowish green, with a mottled dark-grey to black and light-green pattern that obscures all but the darkest parts of the lines and spots. The darkest areas are a small patch at the base of the trailing edge of the wing, the cell and fold in the medial area, a bar on the costa preceding the subterminal line, and terminal area opposite the reniform spot. The relatively small reniform spot and round orbicular spot are filled with peripheral whitish and central green scales.

Stylidium ensatum is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the genus Stylidium (family Stylidiaceae) that was described as a new species by A.R. Bean in 2000, though the taxon had been noted by Rica Erickson in her discussion of S. muscicola variation in 1958. The specific epithet ensatum is from the Latin ensatus, meaning sword-like, which refers to the shape of the floral throat appendages of this species. It is an erect annual plant that grows from 14 to 22 cm tall. Obovate or orbicular leaves, about 6-17 per plant, are scattered along the stems.
|
|
The length of the forewings is 18–23 mm. Forewing pale yellow grey in the male, simply pale grey in the female, densely dusted with darker: the lines diffusely darker still, outwardly edged with pale ground colour; median area often darker, the reniform, and sometimes the orbicular, showing paler; submarginal line pale, waved; fringe chequered, grey and yellowish; hindwing a little paler, with cellspot, outer, and sometimes a submarginal line greyer; — ab. alpina Ruehl. is an alpine form, with the ground colour more bluish grey, the stigmata picked out with chalk white, and the outer line of hindwing more strongly marked.

The genus was first described in 1852 by A.L.A. Fée, who separated it from Cheilanthes proper by the presence of red hairs among the sporangia and a scarious (hardened) indusium formed from the leaf margin. He typified it on Myriopteris marsupianthes. Fée described the division of the leaf into numerous small, beadlike segments, all capable of bearing spores, which may have led him to choose the name Myriopteris; "myrio-" means "very many" and "pteris" means "fern". John Smith recognized Myriopteris in his Cultivated Ferns of 1857, noting the "minute, orbicular or cuneiform, concave" ultimate segments typical of species in the genus.

The wingspan is about 34 mm. The forewings are greyish white with a greenish tinge. The extreme base is blackish with a tuft of raised white scales, followed by a pale grey sinuous band, indistinctly traversed by a darker central line, then a dark-edged darker sinuous fascia, also traversed by an indistinctly darker line. The external angle of this fascia below the costa is marked by a short vertical black dash of raised scales, representing the orbicular stigma, followed by a similar, but longer, black dash, slightly inclined to the former, representing the reniform stigma.

The plant has palmately lobed leaves and showy yellow flowers. Root grumose, formed of thick, fleshy, fasciculated fibres. Stem two to four feet high, terete, and, as well as the foliage, hairy with rather pilose hairs, which are dilated at the base. Radical leaves on long hairy petioles, large, between orbicular and reniform, three to five-lobed; lobes again divided and cut into several acute lobules, or large sharp teeth, cut and serrated, the whole somewhat radiately and dichotomously veined; upper leaves gradually smaller, sessile, five- to three- partite, the segments lanceolate, coarsely serrated, with parallel veins.

The route climbs up Mount Bassie and crosses its western face and a small but crevasse-ridden icefield. Especially in the late summer, when snow bridges have melted and blue ice is prevalent, this portion of the route can be the most dangerous and difficult part of the trip. An orbicular ridge leads north after Mount Bassie, splitting the Blue Lake watershed on the western side of the island from the Baranof River watershed on the eastern side of the island. The geology of the ridge (which also features basalt dikes) offers many locations to make camp with access to small pools for drinking water.

Drosera derbyensis is a perennial carnivorous plant in the genus Drosera and is endemic to Western Australia. Its erect or semi-erect leaves are arranged in a rosette with one or more rosettes emerging from the root stock. The petioles are narrowly oblanceolate, 0.8–1.0 mm wide at the proximate end and 1.3–1.7 mm wide at the apex, narrowing to 0.5–0.7 mm at the laminar base. The petioles are frequently 35–45 mm long when the plant is in flower and are covered in white woolly non-dendritic hairs. The insect-trapping leaf lamina is orbicular and much shorter than the petioles at only 2–3 mm in diameter.

In the centre of the fall, is a signal patch, which is dark brown, or burgundy brown, and in the middle of the falls, it has a row of short hairs called the 'beard', which is sparse, and white with a slightly yellow tint, or orange-white. It has broader standards, which are orbicular (rounded), or unguiculate (narrow stalk-like), they are cm long and 4.5–5 cm wide. It has short, 3.5 to 5 cm long, broad and crenulated crests, and a 2.5 cm long perianth tube. After the iris has flowered, it produces a trigonal (narrow at both ends) and long seed capsule.

Nepenthes pitopangii appears to be most closely related to N.glabrata, a highland species also endemic to Sulawesi but not recorded from the local area. While the stem, laminae, and lower pitchers of these species are very similar, the markedly different upper pitcher morphology means that they are unlikely to be confused. The aerial pitchers of N. glabrata are far more elongated than those of N. pitopangii and have well- developed wings. A developing upper pitcher showing the sub-orbicular lid that distinguishes N. pitopangii from many similar species The upper pitchers of N. pitopangii may bear a superficial resemblance to those of N. eymae, N. flava, N. inermis, N. jacquelineae, N. talangensis, N. tenuis, and certain forms of N. maxima.

Nikolai Schipczinsky in the Flora of the USSR (1937) distinguished between P. mlokosewitschii – as part of the series Obovatae having orbicular, ovate or rarely pointed leaflets – and P. triternata, P. caucasica, P. wittmanniana, P. macrophylla, P. tomentosa and P. abchasica – all having rather wide, pointed leaflets – assigning them to the series Corallinae. Frederick Claude Stern in his book A study of the genus Paeonia recognized in his subsection Foliolatae the species P. daurica, P. mlokosewitschii and P. wittmanniana, the latter with four varieties. In 1950 Grossgeim revised his view from 1930 and recognized P. kavachensis (= P. caucasica), P. mlokosewitschii (including P. tomentosa) and P. wittmanniana (including P. abchasica). P. wittmanniana Steven was renamed to P. steveniana by the Georgian botanist Kemularia- Nathadze in 1961, who recognized all previous taxa except P. abchasica in addition to describing a new species named P. ruprechtiana.

In the genitalia of H. quindiensis there are two rather than three coils in the vesica and appendix bursae and only the posterior half of the ductus bursae is sclerotized. Hypotrix purpurigera and several of its South American relatives also have black reniform and orbicular spots that are frequently fused posteriorly, creating a wide V-shaped mark. Within the North American fauna the male genitalia of Hypotrix lunata are most similar to those of Hypotrix hueco, but differ in that only the apical part of the uncus is expanded in H. lunata whereas the apical 2/3 is wide in H. hueco, the clasper is stouter and abruptly tapered apically in H. lunata, and the dorsal lobe on the sacculus is much larger. The vesica is very different from that of H. hueco in having much more extensive basal cluster of spines and subbasal cornuti in a longitudinally ribbed basal swelling, and the vesica has three tight medial coils rather than one as in H. hueco.

Mounted specimen The adult moth's forewing is 13 to 16 mm (0.51 to 0.63 inches) long, and the wingspan is 25 to 30 mm (0.98 to 1.18 inches). Forewings are black slightly dusted with grey. Lines are whitish, the subbasal ending in a grey- edged black spot on inner margin; the inner is obliquely curved outwards; the outer is angled at vein 6, indented on 4 and angled inwards below vein 2, running upwards and outwards below reniform, then downwards again parallel to its former course, and finally running in to the inner line above inner margin. Orbicular stigma is a round black spot with grey outline; reniform large and black, edged externally by a white bar, which often emits a narrow pale line externally from its middle subterminal line sinuous, double, somewhat lunulate, with dark centre and pale-scaled edges, except at costa where it is single and white, preceded by oblong black spots separated by the pale veins.
