Lasiochlamys is a genus of flowering plants endemic to New Caledonia [1] in the family Salicaceae. Molecular phylogenetic analysis suggest that Lasiochlamys may be nested in the more widespread genus Xylosma . [2]
The following species are accepted by World Flora Online: [3]
The Salicaceae are the willow family of flowering plants. The traditional family included the willows, poplars. Genetic studies summarized by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG) have greatly expanded the circumscription of the family to contain 56 genera and about 1220 species, including the tropical Scyphostegiaceae and many of the former Flacourtiaceae.
Xylosma is a genus of flowering plants in the family Salicaceae. It contains around 100 species of evergreen shrubs and trees commonly known as brushhollies, xylosmas, or, more ambiguously, "logwoods". The generic name is derived from the Greek words ξύλον (xylon), meaning "wood, tree", and ὀσμή (osmé), meaning "smell", referring to the fragrant wood of some of the species. The Takhtajan system places it in the family Flacourtiaceae, which is considered defunct by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group.
Jatropha is a genus of flowering plants in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae. The name is derived from the Greek words ἰατρός (iatros), meaning "physician", and τροφή (trophe), meaning "nutrition", hence the common name physic nut. Another common name is nettlespurge. It contains approximately 170 species of succulent plants, shrubs and trees. Most of these are native to the Americas, with 66 species found in the Old World. Plants produce separate male and female flowers. As with many members of the family Euphorbiaceae, Jatropha contains compounds that are highly toxic. Jatropha species have traditionally been used in basketmaking, tanning and dye production. In the 2000s, one species, Jatropha curcas, generated interest as an oil crop for biodiesel production and also medicinal importance when used as lamp oil; native Mexicans in the Veracruz area developed by selective breeding a Jatropha curcas variant lacking the toxic compounds, yielding a better income when used as source for biodiesel, because of its edible byproduct. Toxicity may return if edible Jatropha is pollinated by toxic types.
Antidesma is a genus of tropical plant in the family Phyllanthaceae formally described by Linnaeus in 1753. It is native to tropical Africa, S + E + SE Asia, Australia, and various oceanic islands. The greatest diversity occurs in Southeast Asia.
Ochna is a genus comprising 79 species of evergreen trees, shrubs and shrublets belonging to the flowering plant family Ochnaceae. These species are native to tropical woodlands of Africa, Madagascar, the Mascarenes and Asia. Species of this genus are usually called ochnas, bird's-eye bushes or Mickey-mouse plants, a name derived from the shape of the drupelet fruit. The name of this genus comes from the Greek word ὄχνη (ókhnē), used by Theocritus and meaning "wild pear", as the leaves are similar in appearance. Some species, including Ochna integerrima and O. serrulata, are cultivated as decorative plants.
Sebastiania is a genus of flowering plants in the family Euphorbiaceae first described in 1821. It is native to North and South America from Arizona and the West Indies south to Uruguay.
Macaranga is a large genus of Old World tropical trees of the family Euphorbiaceae and the only genus in the subtribe Macaranginae. Native to Africa, Australasia, Asia and various islands of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, the genus comprises over 300 different species. It was first described as a genus in 1806, based on specimens collected on the Island of Mauritius.
Claoxylon is a flowering plant genus in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae, comprising dioecious subshrubs to small trees. It was first described as a genus in 1824. The genus is distributed in paleotropical areas: Madagascar through South and Southeast Asia, Malesia to Melanesia, Hawaiʻi, and Australia. Half of the species are in Malesia.
Discoclaoxylon is a plant genus of the family Euphorbiaceae, first described in 1914. It is native to western and central Africa, including islands in the Gulf of Guinea.
Pseudagrostistachys is a plant genus of the family Euphorbiaceae first described as a genus in 1912. It is native to tropical Africa.
Discocleidion is a genus of plants in the family Euphorbiaceae. It was first described as a genus in 1914. It contains one accepted species, Discocleidion rufescens, endemic to China.
Tragiella is a genus of plant of the family Euphorbiaceae first described as a genus in 1919. It is native to Africa.
Argomuellera is a genus of plant of the family Euphorbiaceae first described as a genus in 1894. It is native to sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar, and the Comoros Islands.
Manihot is a genus in the diverse milkspurge family, Euphorbiaceae. It was described as a genus in 1754.
Tapeinosperma is a genus of plants in the family Primulaceae. It occurs in Australia, New Guinea, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Fiji. It is morphologically close to Discocalyx.
Paxia is a genus of plants in the family Connaraceae, first described in 1891. It is native to west-central Africa.
Afrotrewia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae. It only contains one known species, Afrotrewia kamerunicaPax & K.Hoffm.
Chlamydojatropha is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae.
