The imperfect fungus Dicarpella dryina Sutton is a leaf parasite reported to occur on a wide range of host plants, including species of sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua L.). Limber and Cash reported that leaf spots produced by this pathogen on several different genera of forest trees were 2–5 mm diameter with regular margins.
Fossil leaf of Liquidambar from Pliocene of Italy This genus is known in the fossil record from the Cretaceous to the Quaternary (age range: 99.7 to 0.781 million years ago). [ 5 ] The genus was much more widespread in the Tertiary , but has disappeared from Europe due to extensive glaciation in the north and the east–west oriented Alps and ...
A Liquidambar leaf with interveinal chlorosis Lemon shrub with chlorosis. Chlorosis is typically caused when leaves do not have enough nutrients to synthesise all the chlorophyll they need. It can be brought about by a combination of factors including: a specific mineral deficiency in the soil, such as iron, [3] magnesium or zinc [4]
Altingiaceae now consists of the single genus Liquidambar with 15 known species. [6] Previously, the genera Altingia and Semiliquidambar were also recognised, but these represent a rapid radiation and have been difficult to separate reliably. Semiliquidambar has recently been shown to be composed of hybrids of species of Altingia and Liquidambar.
Liquidambar formosana is a large, native, deciduous tree that grows up to 30-40m tall. The leaves are 10~15 cm wide., [4] and are three-lobed unlike five- to seven-lobed leaves of most American Liquidambar species. [5] The foliage of the L. formosana turns a very attractive red color in autumn. [6]
The Altingiaceae (Sweetgum family) consist of a single genus (Liquidambar) with 15 species of trees with unisexual flowers found in Eurasia, but with one species in North and Central America, Liquidambar styraciflua (American sweetgum). Liquidambar is used for its resin and timber, as well being ornamental
Liquidambar acalycina is a deciduous tree that has a brown to black colored bark with a conical/pyramidal shape. It matures quickly to a medium height at about 10m in height, and 6m in width. [7] The leaves have three lobes, making the tree similar to a maple tree. However, they are more star shaped than maple leaves. [8]
