In biological classification, a subfamily is an auxiliary (intermediate) taxonomic rank, next below family but more inclusive than genus. Standard nomenclature rules end botanical subfamily names with "-oideae", and zoological subfamily names with "-inae".
Tillandsia is a genus of around 650 species of evergreen, perennial flowering plants in the family Bromeliaceae, native to the forests, mountains and deserts of the Neotropics, from northern Mexico and the southeastern United States to Mesoamerica and the Caribbean to central Argentina. Their leaves, more or less silvery in color, are covered with specialized cells (trichomes) capable of rapidly absorbing water that gathers on them.
Horton Plains National Park is a national park in the central highlands of Sri Lanka that was designated in 1988. It is located at an elevation of 2,100–2,300 m (6,900–7,500 ft) and encompasses montane grassland and cloud forest. It is rich in biodiversity and many species found here are endemic to the region. It is also a popular tourist destination and is situated 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from Ohiya, 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from the world-famous Ohiya Gap/Dondra Watch and 32 kilometres (20 mi) from Nuwara Eliya.
The subfamily Detarioideae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae (legumes). This subfamily includes many tropical trees, some of which are used for timber or have ecological importance. The subfamily consists of 84 genera, most of which are native to Africa and Asia. Pride of Burma and tamarind are two of the most notable species in Detarioideae. It has the following clade-based definition:
The most inclusive crown clade containing Goniorrhachis marginataTaub. and Aphanocalyx cynometroidesOliv., but not Cercis canadensisL., Duparquetia orchidaceaBaill., or Bobgunnia fistuloides(Harms) J. H. Kirkbr. & Wiersema.
Anthonotha is a genus within the subfamily Detarioideae of the plant family Fabaceae.
Berlinia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It includes 21 species of trees native to sub-Saharan Africa, ranging from Guinea to Chad, Tanzania, Mozambique, and Angola.
Englerodendron is a small genus of legumes belonging to the family Fabaceae, that are native to tropical Africa.
Gilbertiodendron is a genus of legume in the family Fabaceae. It consists of about 25 species of tree native to west and west-central tropical Africa. Members of this genus were formerly considered to be in the genus Macrolobium but that genus is now restricted to species growing in tropical America. It is closely related to Pellegriniodendron.
Hymenostegia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It includes 14 species native to west and west-central tropical Africa.
Talbotiella eketensis is a species of plant in the family Fabaceae. It is found only in Nigeria. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Tetraberlinia is a genus of plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It includes species of trees native to west and west-central tropical Africa, including Liberia, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, Cabinda, and DR Congo. They grow in tropical lowland rain forest and riverine forest, often forming monodominant stands.
Cassipourea eketensis is a species of plant in the Rhizophoraceae family. It is endemic to Nigeria and grows in tropical rainforest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Gaertnera is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. There are at least 85 species distributed across the Old World tropics from Africa to Asia.
Berlinia korupensis is a species of tree up to 42 m tall and 88 cm in diameter, belonging to the Senna subfamily Caesalpinioideae of the Bean Family, and is endemic to the Korup National Park in Cameroon, West Africa. Having produced large, delicate white flowers remindful of Bauhinia, the species' seed pods can grow to be 30 cm long. Seed dispersal is explosive with the opposing halves of the pods tightening as they dry until suddenly they split and shoot seeds for a distance that can be as great as 50 metres. It is on the Critically Endangered list as thus far only 17 trees have been found. This is a very recent discovery, having been unknown to the outside world prior to June of 2010.
Micklethwaitia is a monotypic genus of legume in the family Fabaceae. Its only species, Micklethwaitia carvalhoi, is endemic to Mozambique. It is closely related to Annea, Gabonius, and Scorodophloeus.
The Somali montane xeric shrublands is a desert and xeric scrubland ecoregion in Somalia. The ecoregion lies in the rugged Karkaar Mountains, which run parallel and close to Somalia's northern coast on the Gulf of Aden, and follows coast from Cape Guardafui south to Eyl on the Arabian Sea.
Gladiolus mariae is a species of the genus Gladiolus of perennial cormous flowering plants in the family Iridaceae.
