Varronia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae, found throughout Latin America (except Chile and Patagonia), the Caribbean, and in the US states of Texas and Florida. [2] They were resurrected from Cordia in 2007. [3]
Currently accepted species include: [2]
Gonzalagunia is a genus of plant in the family Rubiaceae.
Guettarda is a plant genus in the family Rubiaceae. Most of these plants are known by the common name velvetseed.
Maytenus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Celastraceae. Members of the genus are distributed throughout Central and South America, Southeast Asia, Micronesia, and Australasia, the Indian Ocean and Africa. They grow in a very wide variety of climates, from tropical to subpolar. The traditional circumscription of Maytenus was paraphyletic, so many species have been transferred to Denhamia and Gymnosporia.
Reynosia is a genus of plant in family Rhamnaceae. Darlingplum is a common name for this genus.
Stachytarpheta is a plant genus in the verbena family (Verbenaceae). The flowers are rich in nectar and popular with many butterflies, such as the South Asian crimson rose, Malabar banded swallowtail, and grass yellow. Hummingbirds, especially small species like Lophornis coquettes, Chlorostilbon emeralds, and Discosura thorntails, are especially attracted for nectar. Several species in this genus are known as porterweeds.
Tournefortia, often called soldierbushes, is a genus of flowering plants in the borage family, Boraginaceae.
Rondeletia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. It is endemic to the Neotropics. There are around 160 species.
Galactia is a genus of plants in the legume family (Fabaceae). It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae and tribe Diocleae They do not have an unambiguous common name, being commonly called milk peas, beach peas or wild peas. They are perennial herbs or subshrubs with prostrate, climbing, or erect forms.
Callicarpa (beautyberry) is a genus of shrubs and small trees in the family Lamiaceae. They are native to east and southeast Asia, Australia, Madagascar, south-eastern North America and South America.
Jacquemontia is a genus of plants in the morning glory family Convolvulaceae. Species in this genus are commonly known as clustervine.
Euploca is an almost cosmopolitan genus of plants with 168 species. It was first described by Thomas Nuttall in 1837. While part of the broadly defined Boraginaceae in the APG IV system from 2016, a revision of the order Boraginales from the same year includes Euploca in the separate family Heliotropiaceae. Its species used to be classified in the genera Hilgeria and Schleidenia and in Heliotropium sect. Orthostachys, but were found to form an independent lineage in a molecular phylogenetic analysis, more closely related to Myriopus than to Heliotropium. While many species use the C4 photosynthetic pathway, there are also C3–C4 intermediate species. Species have leaves with a C4-typical Kranz anatomy.
Myriopus is a genus of flowering plants in the borage and forget-me-not family Boraginaceae. Species in the genus are native to Latin America, the Caribbean, and Florida.
Stenostomum is a genus of flowering plant in the family Rubiaceae, native from southern Mexico to tropical South America. The genus was established by Karl Friedrich von Gaertner in 1806.
