Rhopalostylidinae is a botanical subtribe consisting of two genera of palms from Australia and New Zealand, Hedyscepe and Rhopalostylis. These two genera were formerly included in Archontophoenicinae, to which they are morphologically similar, until a recent revision.
Corypheae is a tribe of palm trees in the subfamily Coryphoideae. In previous classifications, tribe Corypheae included four subtribes: Coryphinae, Livistoninae, Thrinacinae and Sabalinae, but recent phylogenetic studies have led to the genera within these subtribes being transferred into other tribes. Tribe Corypheae is now restricted to the genus Corypha alone.
Cryosophileae is a tribe of palms in the subfamily Coryphoideae. The tribe ranges from southern South America, through Central America, into Mexico and the Caribbean. It includes New World genera formerly included in the tribe Thrinacinae, which was split after molecular phylogenetic studies showed that Old World and New World members of the tribe were not closely related.
Areceae is a palm tree tribe in the family Arecaceae.
Dypsidinae is a subtribe of plants in the family Arecaceae.
Caryoteae is a tribe within the palm family Arecaceae, distributed across Southeast Asia, from southern India and Sri Lanka east to Vanuatu and northernmost Queensland, Australia. It was historically classified under the subfamily Arecoideae due to its inflorescences, which resemble those of the tribe Iriarteeae, and its flowers arranged in triads, a common trait in Arecoideae. However, phylogenetic studies based on DNA repeatedly link Caryoteae to subfamily Coryphoideae. Caryoteae do have leaves with induplicate folds, a feature found in most Coryphoid palms, but unlike most Coryphoideae, the leaves are pinnate or bipinnate (Caryota). Phoenix is the only other Coryphoid genus with induplicate, pinnate leaves.
Borasseae is a tribe in the palm subfamily Coryphoideae. The tribe ranges from southern Africa and Madagascar north through the Arabian Peninsula to India, Indochina, Indonesia and New Guinea. Several genera are restricted to islands in the Indian Ocean. The two largest genera, Hyphaene and Borassus, are also the most widespread.
Chuniophoeniceae is a tribe of palms in subfamily Coryphoideae of plant family Arecaceae. The four genera within the tribe are morphologically dissimilar and do not have overlapping distributions. Three of the genera are monotypic, while the fourth genus (Chuniophoenix) has three species.
Trachycarpeae is a tribe of palms in subfamily Coryphoideae of the plant family Arecaceae. It has the widest distribution of any tribe in Coryphoideae and is found on all continents, though the greatest concentration of species is in Southeast Asia. Trachycarpeae includes palms from both tropical and subtropical zones; the northernmost naturally-occurring palm is a member of this tribe. Several genera can be found in cultivation in temperate areas, for example species of Trachycarpus, Chamaerops, Rhapidophyllum and Washingtonia.
Verschaffeltiinae is a subtribe of plants in the family Arecaceae endemic to the Seychelles.
Basseliniinae is a subtribe of plants in the family Arecaceae.
Ancistrophyllinae is a subtribe of plants in the family Arecaceae found in Africa. Genera in the subtribe are:
Mauritiinae is a subtribe of plants in the family Arecaceae found in northern South America. Genera in the subtribe are:
Salaccinae is a subtribe of plants in the family Arecaceae found in Southeast Asia. Genera in the subtribe are:
Plectocomiinae is a subtribe of plants in the family Arecaceae found in Southeast Asia. Genera in the subtribe are:
Rhapidinae is a subtribe of plants in the family Arecaceae found in Southeast Asia and the Mediterranean. Genera in the subtribe are:
Lataniieae is a subtribe of plants in the family Arecaceae. Genera in the subtribe are:
Bactridinae is a subtribe of plants in the family Arecaceae found in the New World. Genera in the subtribe are:
Elaeidinae is a subtribe of plants in the family Arecaceae found in tropical South America and Africa. Genera in the subtribe are:
Genera Palmarum is a botany reference book that gives a detailed overview of the systematic biology of the palm family (Arecaceae). The first edition of Genera Palmarum was published in 1987. The second edition was published in 2008, with a reprint published in 2014. Genera Palmarum is currently the most detailed monograph on palm taxonomy and systematics.
