___MASK80___ ( grapevines ) is a genus of 79 accepted species of vining plants in the flowering plant family Vitaceae . The genus is made up of species predominantly from the Northern hemisphere . It is economically important as the source of grapes , both for direct consumption of the fruit and for fermentation to produce wine . The study and cultivation of grapevines is called viticulture . Wicker is a material made of ___MASK22___ stalks , branches or shoots formed by a kind of weaving into a rigid material , most often used for baskets or furniture . Wicker is traditionally made of material of ___MASK22___ origin , but plastic fibers are now also used . Wicker is light yet sturdy , making it suitable for furniture that will be moved often like porch and patio furniture . A variety of plants are used such as reeds , grasses ( including bamboo ), creepers ( including rattan ), and thin tree branches ( especially willow ). Rushwork and wickerwork are terms used in England . A liana is any of various long - stemmed , woody vines that are rooted in the soil at ground level and use trees , as well as other means of vertical support , to climb up to the canopy to get access to well - lit ___MASK95___ of the forest . Lianas are characteristic of tropical moist deciduous forests ( especially seasonal forests ), but may be found in temperate rainforests . There are also temperate lianas , for example the members of the " Clematis " or " ___MASK80___ " ( wild grape ) genera . Lianas can form bridges amidst the forest canopy , providing arboreal animals with paths across the forest . These bridges can protect weaker trees from strong winds . Lianas compete with forest trees for sunlight , water and nutrients from the soil . ___MASK29___ ( or ) is a genus of flowering plants in the family ___MASK65___ ( olive family ). There are about 11 species , mostly native to eastern Asia , but one native to southeastern Europe . The common name is also forsythia ; the genus is named after William Forsyth . Jasmine ( taxonomic name ___MASK97___ ) is a genus of shrubs and vines in the olive family ( Oleaceae ). It contains around 200 species native to tropical and warm temperate regions of Eurasia , Australasia and Oceania . Jasmines are widely cultivated for the characteristic fragrance of their flowers . A number of unrelated plants contain the word " Jasmine " in their common names ( see Other plants called " Jasmine "). A vine ( Latin " vnea " " grapevine ", " vineyard ", from " vnum " " wine ") in the narrowest sense is the grapevine (" ___MASK80___ "), but more generally it can refer to any plant with a growth habit of trailing or ( that is , climbing ) stems or runners . The word also can refer to such stems or runners themselves , for instance when used in wicker work . In botany , a tree is a perennial ___MASK22___ with an elongated stem , or trunk , supporting branches and leaves in most species . In some usages , the definition of a tree may be narrower , including only woody plants with secondary growth , plants that are usable as lumber or plants above a specified height . Trees are not a taxonomic group but include a variety of ___MASK22___ species that have independently evolved a woody trunk and branches as a way to tower above other plants to compete for sunlight . In looser senses , the taller palms , the tree ___MASK14___ , bananas and bamboos are also trees . Trees tend to be long - lived , some reaching several thousand years old . The tallest known tree , a coast redwood named Hyperion , stands high . Trees have been in existence for 370 million years . It is estimated that there are just over 3 trillion mature trees in the world . Australasia , a region of Oceania , comprises Australia , New Zealand , the island of New Guinea , and neighbouring islands in the Pacific Ocean . Charles de Brosses coined the term ( as French " Australasie ") in " Histoire des navigations aux terres australes " ( 1756 ). He derived it from the Latin for " south of Asia " and differentiated the ___MASK11___ from Polynesia ( to the east ) and the southeast Pacific ( Magellanica ). The bulk of Australasia sits on the Indo - Australian Plate , together with India . ___MASK9___ is a genus of about 40 species in the family ___MASK65___ , native to warm temperate and tropical regions of southern Europe , Africa , southern Asia and Australasia . They are evergreen trees and shrubs , with small , opposite , entire leaves . The fruit is a drupe . Leaves of " ___MASK9___ " contain trichosclereids . A shrub or bush is a small to medium - sized woody ___MASK22___ . It is distinguished from a tree by its multiple stems and shorter height , usually under 6 m ( 20 ft ) tall . Plants of many species may grow either into shrubs or trees , depending on their growing conditions . Small , low shrubs , generally less than 2 m ( 6 . 6 ft ) tall , such as lavender , periwinkle and most small garden varieties of roses , are often termed subshrubs . A flower , sometimes known as a bloom or blossom , is the reproductive structure found in plants that are floral ( plants of the division ___MASK68___ , also called angiosperms ). The biological function of a flower is to effect reproduction , usually by providing a mechanism for the union of sperm with eggs . Flowers may facilitate outcrossing ( fusion of sperm and eggs from different individuals in a population ) or allow selfing ( fusion of sperm and egg from the same flower ). Some flowers produce diaspores without fertilization ( parthenocarpy ). Flowers contain sporangia and are the site where gametophytes develop . Many flowers have evolved to be attractive to animals , so as to cause them to be vectors for the transfer of pollen . After fertilization , the ovary of the flower develops into fruit containing seeds . A privet is a flowering ___MASK22___ in the genus Ligustrum . The genus contains about 50 species of erect , deciduous or evergreen shrubs , sometimes forming small or medium - sized trees , native to Europe , north Africa , Asia and Australasia . Some species have become widely naturalized or invasive where introduced . " Privet " was originally the name for the European semi - evergreen shrub " Ligustrum vulgare ", and later also for the more reliably evergreen " Ligustrum ovalifolium " used extensively for privacy hedging , though now the name is applied to all members of the genus . The generic name was applied by Pliny the Elder ( 23  79 CE ) to " L . vulgare ". It is often suggested that the name " privet " is related to " private ", but the OED states that there is no evidence to support this . The olive , known by the botanical name ___MASK61___ , meaning " European olive ", is a species of small tree in the family Oleaceae , found in the Mediterranean Basin from Portugal to the Levant , the Arabian Peninsula , and southern Asia as far east as China , as well as the Canary Islands , Mauritius and Réunion . The species is cultivated in many places and considered naturalized in all the countries of the Mediterranean coast , as well as in Argentina , Saudi Arabia , Java , Norfolk Island , California and Bermuda . Oceania ( or ), also known as Oceanica , is a region centred on the islands of the tropical Pacific Ocean . Opinions of what constitutes Oceania range from its three subregions of Melanesia , Micronesia , and ___MASK94___ to , more broadly , the entire insular region between Southeast Asia and the Americas , including Australasia and the Malay Archipelago . The ___MASK25___ are an order in the asterid group of dicotyledonous flowering plants . It includes about 24 , 000 species divided into about 20 families . Well - known or economically important members of this order include lavender , lilac , olive , jasmine , the ___MASK4___ tree , teak , snapdragon , sesame , psyllium , garden sage , and a number of table herbs such as mint , basil , and rosemary . The ___MASK65___ are a family of flowering plants in the order ___MASK25___ . It presently comprises 26 genera , one of which is recently extinct . The 25 extant genera include " Cartrema ", which was resurrected in 2012 . The number of species in the ___MASK65___ is variously estimated in a wide range around 700 . The ___MASK65___ consist of shrubs , trees , and a few lianas . The flowers are often numerous and highly odoriferous . The family has a subcosmopolitan distribution , ranging from the subarctic to the southernmost parts of Africa , Australia , and South America . Notable members of the ___MASK65___ include olive , ___MASK4___ , jasmine , and several popular ornamental plants including privet , forsythia , fringetrees , and lilac . Jasminium dichotomum ( Gold Coast Jasmine ) is a species of jasmine , in the family ___MASK65___ . It is an evergreen climber which grows as a rambling shrub or woody vine . The flowers are quite fragrant and open at night , coloured pink when budding then white ; these appear at the leaf axils in cluster . It blooms year round . The leaves are opposite . The fleshy fruit is small . Jasminium dichotomum is native to tropical western and central Africa from Senegal east to Kenya and Ethiopia , south to Mozambique and Zambia , but it has been introduced to other regions and is reportedly naturalized in Florida and India . In Florida , this ___MASK22___ is an invasive weed ; introduced as an ornamental ___MASK22___ in the 1920 . Spreading from gardens in the 1970s , in ___MASK95___ with soil disturbance , the species began occupying hammocks and forests . Its vining habit can be trimmed in a dense shrub . Glossy leaves are very ornamental in contrast with dark pink buds and snow white flowers . The flowering plants ( ___MASK49___ ), also known as Angiospermae or ___MASK68___ , are the most diverse group of land plants , with 416 families , approx . 13 , 164 known genera and a total of c . 295 , 383 known species . Like gymnosperms , ___MASK49___ are seed - producing plants ; they are distinguished from gymnosperms by characteristics including flowers , endosperm within the seeds , and the production of fruits that contain the seeds . Etymologically , angiosperm means a plant that produces seeds within an enclosure , in other words , a fruiting plant . The term " angiosperm " comes from the Greek composite word (" angeion ", " case " or " casing ", and " sperma ", " seed ") meaning " enclosed seeds ", after the enclosed condition of the seeds .
