Question: Maquira is a genus of what type of perennial plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, and where most species have supporting branches and leaves?

<P0-S0> Stephanomeria elata is a species of flowering plant in the aster family known by the common names Santa Barbara wirelettuce and Nuttall's wirelettuce. <P0-S1>  It is native to Oregon and California, where it grows in coastal and inland mountain ranges, including the Sierra Nevada. <P0-S2>  It can be found in many types of habitat. <P0-S3>  It is an annual herb producing a slender, erect stem often exceeding one meter in maximum height. <P0-S4>  It is hairy to hairless and often glandular. <P0-S5>  The leaves are mostly located in a basal rosette, the largest reaching 10 centimeters long. <P0-S6>  Smaller, much-reduced leaves occur farther up the stem. <P0-S7>  The leaves drop early, leaving the plant naked for most of the year. <P0-S8>  Flowers occur singly or in small clusters along the stiff branches. <P0-S9>  Each head contains up to 15 or 16 ray florets, each with an elongated tube and a pink ligule 6 or 7 millimeters long. <P0-S10>  The fruit is an achene tipped with a spreading cluster of long, plumelike pappus bristles. <SEP> <P1-S0> Stylidium fissilobum is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the genus "Stylidium" (family Stylidiaceae). <P1-S1>  It is an annual plant that grows from 5 to 50 cm tall. <P1-S2>  Linear or deltate leaves, about 4-34 per plant, are scattered along the elongate, glabrous stem. <P1-S3>  The leaves are generally 1–6 mm long and 0.3-0.7 mm wide. <P1-S4>  Petioles and scapes are absent. <P1-S5>  Inflorescences are 3–18 cm long. <P1-S6>  Flowers are pink, white, or mauve and bloom from March to July in the southern hemisphere. <P1-S7>  "S. fissilobum"'s wide distribution ranges across northern Australia from the western Kimberley region and Northern Territory eastward as far as Mount Surprise in Queensland. <P1-S8>  Its habitat is recorded as being wet sands at swamp edges in association with grasslands and sedgelands. <P1-S9>  Due to its weak stem, this species often threads its way through supporting branches and leaves of the dense grass and sedge cover. <P1-S10>  "S. fissilobum" is most closely related to "S. aquaticum" and "S. oviflorum". <P1-S11>  Its conservation status has been assessed as data deficient. <SEP> <P2-S0> In botany, a tree is a perennial plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, supporting branches and leaves in most species. <P2-S1>  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. <P2-S2>  Trees are not a taxonomic group but include a variety of plant species that have independently evolved a woody trunk and branches as a way to tower above other plants to compete for sunlight. <P2-S3>  Trees tend to be long-lived, some reaching several thousand years old. <P2-S4>  In looser definitions, the taller palms, tree ferns, bananas and bamboos are also trees. <P2-S5>  Trees have been in existence for 370 million years. <P2-S6>  It is estimated that there are just over 3 trillion mature trees in the world. <SEP> <P3-S0> Maquira is a genus of trees in the Moraceae family, native to South America.
