Neotatea is a plant genus in the family Calophyllaceae. [1] [2] [3] It is found in northwestern South America, primarily southern Colombia and Venezuela. There are four species currently recognized in the genus.
The Potamogetonaceae, commonly referred to as the pondweed family, is an aquatic family of monocotyledonous flowering plants. The roughly 110 known species are divided over six genera. The largest genus in the family by far is Potamogeton, which contains about 100 species.
Mammea is a flowering plant genus with about 70 species in the family Calophyllaceae. Its members are evergreen trees having edible fruits. The flowers are polygamous, with a unitary calyx opening into two or three valvate sepals. There are 4 to 8 petals. Berries are formed, containing 1 to 4 seeds. The leaves are rigid, coriaceous and often have pellucid dots.
The family Pandaceae consists of three genera that were formerly recognized in the Euphorbiaceae. Those are:
Mesua is a genus of flowering plants in the family Calophyllaceae, native to tropical southern Asia. Common names include ironwood and rose chestnut.
Lebrunia bushaie is a flowering plant species of the family Calophyllaceae and the sole species comprised in the genus Lebrunia. The plant is native to Africa.
Caraipa is a plant genus in the family Calophyllaceae.
Haploclathra is a plant genus in the family Calophyllaceae. It includes species native to the Amazon basin of Brazil and Peru.
Kielmeyera is a plant genus in the family Calophyllaceae. It is endemic to South America, with a large occurrence in the Brazilian cerrados.
Mahurea is a plant genus in the family Calophyllaceae. The genus comprises 2 species, occurring in Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, French Guiana, Peru, and northern Brazil.
Marila is a plant genus in the family Calophyllaceae. The genus comprises about 20 species, occurring in the Neotropics from Mexico and the Antilles to Bolivia.
Poeciloneuron is a plant genus in the family Calophyllaceae. It contains a single species, Poeciloneuron indicum.
Kayea is a plant genus in the family Calophyllaceae.
Ctenolophon is the only genus in the flowering plant family Ctenolophonaceae. It has two recognized species:
Malesherbia is a genus of flowering plants consisting of 25 species in the Passifloraceae. This is a xerophytic group endemic to the Peruvian and Chilean deserts and adjacent Argentina. The genus is currently recognized by the APG III system of classification in the family Passifloraceae, and is the sole member of the subfamily Malesherbioideae.
In plant taxonomy, commelinids is a clade of flowering plants within the monocots, distinguished by having cell walls containing ferulic acid.
Ruppia, also known as the widgeonweeds, ditch grasses or widgeon grass, is the only extant genus in the family Ruppiaceae, with eight known species. These are aquatic plants widespread over much of the world. The genus name honours Heinrich Bernhard Rupp, a German botanist (1688-1719). They are widespread outside of frigid zones and the tropics.
Cymodoceaceae is a family of flowering plants, sometimes known as the "manatee-grass family", which includes only marine species.
Grewioideae is a subfamily of the family Malvaceae and was first described by Hochreutiner. The group is named after its type genus, Grewia, which is named for the English scientist Nehemiah Grew (1641-1712). It contains a number of genera that were previously placed in the defunct family Tiliaceae.
The giant tree-rat is a species in the family Echimyidae, the spiny rats. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Toromys. It is endemic to Brazil, where it occurs in the flooded forest along the banks of the Amazon River and its tributaries.
Clyomys is a South American rodent genus in the family Echimyidae. It contains two species, found in tropical savannas and grasslands from circa 100 m (300 ft) to 1,100 m (3,600 ft) elevation in central Brazil and eastern Paraguay.
