Funifera is a genus of flowering plants in the family Thymelaeaceae, with all species endemic to Brazil. [2]
Four species are currently accepted. [2]
Gonystylus is a southeast Asian genus of about 30 species of hardwood trees also known as ramin, melawis (Malay) and ramin telur (Sarawak).
The Thymelaeaceae are a cosmopolitan family of flowering plants composed of 50 genera and 898 species. It was established in 1789 by Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. The Thymelaeaceae are mostly trees and shrubs, with a few vines and herbaceous plants.
Tiliacora is a genus of flowering plants in the family Menispermaceae. It is native to tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia and Australia.
Wikstroemia is a genus of 93 species of flowering shrubs and small trees in the mezereon family, Thymelaeaceae. Hawaiian species are known by the common name ‘ākia.
Attalea is a large genus of palms native to Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America. This pinnately-leaved, non-spiny genus includes both small palms lacking an aboveground stem and large trees. The genus has a complicated taxonomic history, and has often been split into four or five genera based on differences in the male flowers. Since the genera can only be distinguished on the basis of their male flowers, the existence of intermediate flower types and the existence of hybrids between different genera has been used as an argument for keeping them all in the same genus. This has been supported by recent molecular phylogenies.
Clibadium is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae.
Dendrophorbium is a genus of South American flowering plants in the family Asteraceae.
Idiopappus is a monotypic genus of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. Its only species is Idiopappus saloyensis, endemic to Ecuador. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Liabum is a genus of South American flowering plants in tribe Liabeae of the family Asteraceae.
Peddiea is a genus of plant in the family Thymelaeaceae. It includes 16 species native to tropical and southern Africa and Madagascar.
Aphandra is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the palm family native to the Amazon rainforest vegetation in South America. Its only species is Aphandra natalia, sometimes called mastodon palm or fiber palm, and is used by indigenous peoples in the construction of brooms and other products. This plant is commercially exploited for its edible fruits, and for its leaf sheath and petiole fibers. This fiber is almost equal to the fiber extracted from Attalea funifera and Leopoldinia piassaba, which is called piassava.
Gyrinops is a genus of nine species of trees, called lign aloes or lign-aloes trees, in the family Thymelaeaceae. They are native to Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, and New Guinea.
Aetoxylon is a single species genus (monotypic) of trees only found (endemic) in Borneo, of the flowering plant family Thymelaeaceae. The single species is Aetoxylon sympetalum, commonly known as gaharu buaya or crocodile eaglewood.
Daphnopsis is a plant genus in the family Thymelaeaceae. It includes 72 species native to the Neotropics. They are shrubs and small trees with tubular or bell-shaped flowers. Individuals are dioecious, with male and female flowers produced on separate trees.
Hesperaloe funifera is a plant species native to Texas and northern Mexico, but sometimes cultivated as an ornamental elsewhere.
Kelleria is a genus of miniature shrubs in the family Thymelaeaceae, found in southeastern Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, and Borneo. The centre of species biodiversity is the Lammermoor Range in Central Otago, NZ.
Dieter Domke is a German badminton player.
Amyxa is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Thymelaeaceae.
Craterosiphon is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Thymelaeaceae.
Schoenobiblus is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Thymelaeaceae.
