Oligocarpa is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Species within the genus Oligocarpa include: [1]
Ascidia is a genus of tunicates in the family Ascidiidae.
Byblis is a small genus of carnivorous plants, sometimes termed the rainbow plants for the attractive appearance of their mucilage-covered leaves in bright sunshine. Native to Australia and New Guinea, it is the only genus in the family Byblidaceae. The first species in the genus was described by the English botanist Richard Anthony Salisbury in 1808. Eight species are now recognised.
Pyura is a large genus of sessile ascidians that live in coastal waters at depths of up to 80 m (260 feet). Like all ascidians, Pyura are filter feeders. A few species, including Pyura chilensis are commercially fished.
Ciona is a genus of sea squirts in the family Cionidae.
Botrylloides is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Styela is a genus of tunicates. Styela clava, an edible species, is known as an invasive species in some areas.
Eusynstyela is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Stolidobranchia is an order of tunicates in the class Ascidiacea. The group includes both colonial and solitary animals. They are distinguished from other tunicates by the presence of folded pharyngeal baskets. This provides the etymology of their name: in ancient Greek, στολίς, ίδος means the "fold" of a cloth. Stolidobranchian sea squirts are also characterized by the complete absence of an abdomen. The abdominal organs of other tunicates are instead located to one side of the pharyngeal basket in this group.
Aplidium is a genus of colonial sea squirts, tunicates in the family Polyclinidae. There are about 188 species in the genus found in shallow waters around the world.
Polycarpa is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Styelidae is a family of ascidian tunicates.
Polyclinum is a genus of colonial sea squirts, tunicates in the family Polyclinidae.
Synoicum is a genus of colonial sea squirts, tunicates in the family Polyclinidae.
Oligotrema is a genus of marine tunicates.
Dendrodoa is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Cnemidocarpa is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Distomus is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Hartmeyeria is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Pyuridae.
Pseudocayratia is a genus of Asian vine plants in the family Vitaceae. As its name suggests, it was split from the previously configured genus Cayratia, which was found not be monophyletic: for example, Pseudocayratia oligocarpa, from central China to Vietnam, was distinct from Cayratia pedata. Species have been recorded from central-southern China, Japan, the Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan and Vietnam.
Pseudocayratia oligocarpa is a species of Asian vine plants in the subfamily Vitoideae. Previously belonging to the non-monophyletic genus Cayratia, this species is found from central-southern China to Vietnam. These genera are not dissimilar and are now placed in the tribe Cayratieae.
