Rainbow eucalyptus (Eucalyptus deglupta)

Leda or rainbow eucalyptus (Eucalyptus deglupta) is a plant species in Myrtaceae, large trees up to 40 m tall, upright stems, not or sometimes buttresses, branch-free trunks up to 25 m, diameters up to 240 cm, smooth bark, white , irregular peeling to form green, yellow and purplish brown.

E. deglupta has young leaves arranged facing each other and in the form of lancet. Old leaves arranged facing or alternating, round to lanceolate, 7.5-20 cm long, 5-7.5 cm wide, blunt or taper end, round or blunt base, a primary bone and several secondary bones irregularly pinnate.

Umbrella-shaped compound flowers, growing on the armpits of leaves or twigs, each panicle consists of 3-7 flowers, white and pale yellow. The fruit is wood, chocolate, hemispherical capsules, 3-5 mm long, three or four valves extending beyond the edge of the fruit. Each cell contains 3-12 brown seeds.

Rainbow eucalyptus grows in the humid tropics at an altitude of 0-1000 meters, soil containing sand or volcanic ash, rainfall types A-B to C. It is widely spread as an ornamental tree where bark is attractive, land reclamation, reforestation and forest enrichment.

Wood and bark can be used in pulp production, light and heavy construction, materials for floors, furniture, molds, boat compilers, poles, sticks, veneers, plywood, particle board, hardboard, wood-wool boards and mosquito repellent materials.

Sonokeling or Java palisandre or Indian rosewood ( Dalbergia latifolia ) is a species of plant in the Fabaceae, a large tree producing hardwood, medium weight and high quality, rounded leaves, thin and broad pods, highly adaptive, grows in dry and rocky landscapes with lots of sunlight. D. latifolia has medium to large size, cylindrical stems, up to 40 m high with a ring of up to 2 m, the bark is brownish gray and slightly cracked longitudinally. The crown is dense, dome-shaped and sheds leaves. The leaves are compound and pinnate oddly with 5-7 strands that have different sizes and appear alternately on the shaft. The leaves are round or elongated in width or heart, the upper surface is green and the surface is pale green. The flowers are small, 0.5-1 cm long and clustered in panicles. The pods are green to brown when ripe and are elongated lanceolate, pointed at the base and tip. The pods have 1-4 seeds which are soft and brownish. Indian rosewood grows at elevations below 600 m,

Evolution theory goes beyond

OPINION - As a Wallacean and Darwinian, I have always viewed life from the perspective of evolutionism. I see the world of plants and animals always using evolutionary theories. How a species develops functional organs, forms morphology, adapts to ecosystems and so on as a natural laws. This perspective ultimately forms my framework for thinking about various things, including the way I see myself, everyday problems and the way I think about big things such as economics, geopolitics, war and so on using an evolutionary perspective. Alfred Russel Wallace, Charles Darwin and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck are three great figures who really inspired me. They are well known as pioneers of evolutionary theories. They start from small things in the sub-subject of biology, although they also discuss geology and so on. Wallace focused on species adaptation and Darwin on sexual selection. Both developed evolutionary thinking using observational methods. Lamarck focused on structural morphology using l
