Phyllanthus arbuscula is a species of plant in the family Phyllanthaceae. It is endemic to Jamaica.
Phyllanthus is the largest genus in the flowering plant family Phyllanthaceae. Estimates of the number of species in this genus vary widely, from 750 to 1200. Phyllanthus has a remarkable diversity of growth forms including annual and perennial herbs, shrubs, climbers, floating aquatics, and pachycaulous succulents. Some have flattened leaflike stems called cladodes. It has a wide variety of floral morphologies and chromosome numbers and has one of the widest range of pollen types of any seed plant genus.
Glochidion grantii, also known by the synonym Phyllanthus grantii, is a species of tree or shrub in the family Phyllanthaceae. It is endemic to the islands of Tahaa and Raiatea in the Society Islands of French Polynesia, where it is restricted to montane plateaus and ridge forests at elevations of 435–730 meters.
Phyllanthus manono, also known as manono or mahame in Tahitian, is a species of small tree in the family Phyllanthaceae. It is endemic to the Windward Society Islands in French Polynesia, where it is found on the islands of Tahiti and Moorea. Compared to other species of Phyllanthus in the Society Islands, P. manono is found in relatively low-elevation areas, including some disturbed environments.
Phyllanthus marchionicus is a species of tree in the family Phyllanthaceae. It is endemic to the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia, where it grows on the islands of Nuku Hiva, Ua Pou, Ua Huka, Hiva Oa, Tahuata, and Fatu Hiva, in a variety of habitats.
Phyllanthus nadeaudii is a species of tree in the family Phyllanthaceae. It is endemic to the island of Moorea in French Polynesia, where it is found on several mountains above 420 meters elevation. P. nadeaudii the species may be the only species of tree endemic to this island.
Glochidion raivavense, also known by its synonym Phyllanthus raivavense or by the local name mahame on the island of Tubuai, is a species of plant in the family Phyllanthaceae. It is endemic to the Austral Islands in French Polynesia, where it is native to the islands of Rurutu, Tubuai, and Raivavae.
Glochidion rapaense, also known by its synonym Phyllanthus rapaense, is a species of tree in the family Phyllanthaceae. It is endemic to the island of Rapa in the Austral Islands of French Polynesia. Molecular phylogenetic analysis indicates that it is extremely closely related to Glochidion longfieldiae, which is also endemic to Rapa.
Glochidion tooviianum is a species of tree in the family Phyllanthaceae. It is endemic to the Toovii Plateau on the island of Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas Islands of French Polynesia. Wagner and Lorence (2011) consider this species to be the same as Phyllanthus marchionicus, as both species are indistinguishable except for the presence of pubescence on G. tooviianum and the absence of pubescence on P. marchionicus/G. marchionicum.
