Sarcotheca is a genus of plant in family Oxalidaceae.
Plants are mainly multicellular, predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. Historically, plants were treated as one of two kingdoms including all living things that were not animals, and all algae and fungi were treated as plants. However, all current definitions of Plantae exclude the fungi and some algae, as well as the prokaryotes. By one definition, plants form the clade Viridiplantae, a group that includes the flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, ferns and their allies, hornworts, liverworts, mosses and the green algae, but excludes the red and brown algae.
The Oxalidaceae, or wood sorrel family, are a small family of five genera of herbaceous plants, shrubs and small trees, with the great majority of the 570 species in the genus Oxalis. Members of this family typically have divided leaves, the leaflets showing "sleep movements", spreading open in light and closing in darkness.
Species include:
Sarcotheca glomerula is a species of plant in the family Oxalidaceae. It is endemic to Peninsular Malaysia.
Sarcotheca monophylla is a species of plant in the family Oxalidaceae. It is a tree endemic to Peninsular Malaysia.

Aquilaria is a genus of fifteen species of trees, called lign aloes or lign-aloes trees, in the Thymelaeaceae, native to southeast Asia. They occur particularly in the rainforests of Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Northeastern India, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Borneo and New Guinea. The trees grow to 6–20 m tall. The leaves are alternate, 5–11 cm long and 2–4 cm broad, with a short acuminate apex and an entire margin.

Picralima is a plant genus in the dogbane family, Apocynaceae, first described as a genus in 1896. It contains only one known species, Picralima nitida, native to tropical Africa.
Pleiocarpa is a genus of plant in the Apocynaceae family first described as a genus in 1876. It is native to tropical Africa from Senegal to Tanzania and south to Zimbabwe. As of August 2013 the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families recognises 6 species:
Schuurmansiella is a monotypic genus of plant in the family Ochnaceae. As of June 2014 The Plant List recognises the single species Schuurmansiella angustifolia. The specific epithet angustifolia is from the Latin meaning "narrow leaf".

Jacquemontia (clustervine) is a plant genus in the morning glory family Convolvulaceae.
Ipomoea oenotherae is a species of plant of the morning glory genus, Ipomoea, in the family Convolvulaceae. It derives its name from the resemblance it bears to plants in the genus Oenothera. Ipomoea oenotherae is a succulent and a cryptophyte.
Stixis is a South-East Asian genus of plants in the order Brassicales; they are typically lianas. This genus has previously been placed in the Stixaceae and Capparaceae, but under the APG IV system is now included in the family Resedaceae.
