Anatomy of the Strelitzia reginae flower (Strelitziaceae)
Nordic Journal of Botany, 1986The Strelitzia reginae Ait. flower has many remarkable structural spezializations, the histology and cytology of which we have investigated. The chromoplasts of the sepals are conspicuously elongated and enclose numerous carotenoid tubules parallel to the ...

Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 1997
Abstract The pollen grain wall of Ravenala and Phenakospermum , like Strelitzia , the better known member of Strelitziaceae, has a thin exine (about 0.1 μm), thick channeled zone (10–15 μm), and an intine (2–5 μm in thickness). We found aborted grains having thicker exines (0.3–0.7 μm) than mature grains of Phenakospermum and Strelitzia .

Investigations of the floral biology of the traveler's tree (Ravenala madagascariensis) and the ecology of the ruffed lemur (Varecia variegata), both endemic to the island of Madagascar, suggest a plant‐pollinator relationship. Ravenala exhibits many specializations for visitation by large nonflying animals: inflorescences placed below the crown of the

The ongoing naturalization of the blue giant paradise bird tree, Strelitzia nicolaii, is here reported for the first time for NW Sicily (Italy). Native to SE Africa, this ornamental plant was locally introduced around mid XIX century. During last two decades the first cases of pollination and dispersal have been recorded, and within last 10 years ...

Anthelmintic and Anti-Cancer Activity of Leaves of Strelitzia reginae (Strelitziaceae)
Strelitzia reginae, commonly known as the Bird of Paradise plant, has a long history of traditional uses, with anecdotal reports suggesting its potential for anthelmintic and anti-cancer properties. This comprehensive study aimed to study the anthelmintic and anti-cancer activities of leaf extracts from Strelitzia reginae.openaire +1 more source
