Lepiderema

Lepiderema is a genus of nine species of trees from the family Sapindaceae. As of November 2013 botanists know of seven species growing naturally in Australia and two species in New Guinea.[1][2][3][4] Published botanical science provides a limited knowledge of the full range of diversity in Australia and especially in New Guinea.[3][4] In New Guinea the two known species have descriptions based each on only a single type specimen collection.[3] Therefore, collection of more specimens and more species is most likely in New Guinea.[3] In Australia they grow in rainforests of the northern half of the east coast side of the Great Dividing Range, from northeastern New South Wales through to northeastern Queensland.[1][2][4][5][6]

Species

See text

In Australia, some species share the name tuckeroo with the closely related genus Cupaniopsis.

The northeastern NSW and southeastern Queensland endemic species L. pulchella has obtained the conservation status of "vulnerable" species by both the Qld and NSW governments.[2][7][8]:52

Two of the northeastern Queensland endemic species L. hirsuta and L. largiflorens have the Queensland government conservation status of "near threatened" species.[2][8]:71

gollark: Anyway, while this is at least better than passing all data through entirely unauditable serverside filters, I don't think it's very good.
gollark: Fascinating.
gollark: Four dots? Wow.
gollark: Even if you reverse-engineer where it gets the hashes from and how it operates, by the nature of the thing you couldn't work out what was being detected without already having samples of it in the first place.
gollark: Anyway, the generality of this solution and the fact that they'll probably keep the exact details private for "security"-through-obscurity reasons also means that, as I have written here (https://osmarks.net/osbill/) in a blog post tangentially mentioning it, someone could just feed it hashes for, say, anti-government memes and find out who is saving those.
