Eulophia, commonly known as corduroy orchids, is a genus of about two hundred species of flowering plants in the orchid family, Orchidaceae. Most Eulophia orchids are terrestrial but some are deciduous while others are evergreen. They either have an underground rhizome or pseudobulbs on the surface and those species with leaves have them on the end of a fleshy stem. The flowers are arranged on a thin flowering spike, the flowers having sepals which are larger than the petals. The genus is widely distributed but most species are found in Africa and Asia, usually growing in shady places with grass or shrubs in forests.
Elaeis is a genus of palms containing two species, called oil palms. They are used in commercial agriculture in the production of palm oil.

The American oil palm E. oleifera is native to tropical Central and South America, and is used locally for oil production.

Calycina is a genus of beetles in the family Mordellidae, containing the following species:
Copelatus guineensis is a species of diving beetle. It is part of the genus Copelatus in the subfamily Copelatinae of the family Dytiscidae. It was described by Félix Guignot in 1955.
Mordellinae is a subfamily of beetles commonly known as tumbling flower beetles for the typical irregular movements they make when escaping predators, or as pintail beetles due to their abdominal tip which aids them in performing these tumbling movements.
Calycina borneensis is a species of beetle in the genus Calycina. It was described in 1922.
Calycina nigriceps is a species of beetle in the genus Calycina. It was described in 1922.
Calycina palpalis is a species of beetle in the genus Calycina. It was described in 1922.

Kydia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae, found in the Indian subcontinent, southern China and Southeast Asia. Some sources consider it to be monotypic, with Kydia calycina the only species; certainly K. calycina is the best‑studied species, as it is widely exploited, even cultivated, for timber and fiber.
