Adenoa is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to Turneroideae (Passifloraceae). [1]
A. cubensis (Britton & P.Wilson) is currently, the only species assigned to Adenoa. [1] [2] It is a shrub native to southeast Cuba. [1] Originally, classified as Piriqueta cubensis, it would later be reclassified as Adenoa by MM Arbo in 1977. [3] [4]
A. cubensis is a diploid species (2n=14), which chromosomes similar in size to that of Turnera but larger than that of Piriqueta. [5]
A. cubensis has white homostylous flowers (3 cm) with protruding styles, free penduncles (1.5 cm), and short pedicels (0.5 cm). [5] [6] The stamen of A. cubensis are free, similar to those found in Piriqueta. [7] The anthers are obtuse. Overall, the flowers of A. cubensis are considered more complex than those found in Erblichia but simpler than those found in Turnera and Piriqueta. [5]
In addition to the differences in flower complexity, there are differences between A. cubensis' pollen exine and the exine of other members of Turneroideae. [5]
Turneraceae Kunth ex DC. is a family of flowering plants consisting of 120 species in 10 genera. The Cronquist system placed the Turneracids in the order Violales, but it is not currently recognized as a family by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group in the APG III system of 2009, which includes the taxa in the Turneraceae in Passifloraceae as a subfamily (Turneroideae).
Turnera is a genus of flowering plants in the passionflower family, Passifloraceae. It contains more than 100 species native to tropical and subtropical America. The name honours English naturalist William Turner (1508–1568). It was previously placed in the family Turneraceae.
Turnera subulata is a species of flowering plant in the passionflower family known by the common names white buttercup, sulphur alder, politician's flower, dark-eyed turnera, and white alder. Despite its names, it is not related to the buttercups or the alders. It is native to Central and South America, from Panama south to Brazil. It is well known in many other places as an introduced species, such as Malaysia, Indonesia, several other Pacific Islands, the Caribbean, and Florida in the United States.
Afroqueta is a genus of flowering plants belonging to Turneroideae (Passifloraceae). It is a monotypic group, consisting of Afroqueta capensis(Harv.) Thulin & Razafim.
Piriqueta is a genus of flowering plants belonging to Turneroideae (Passifloraceae).
Erblichia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Passifloraceae. The only species is Erblichia odorata, common name Butterfly tree or Flor de Mayo. Originally the genera was composed of five species, however, these species are currently classified as heterotypic synonyms. Unlike other members of Turneroideae which exhibit distyly, E. odorata is a homostylous species.
Hyalocalyx is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Passifloraceae. The only species is Hyalocalyx setifer.
Mathurina is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Passifloraceae. The only species is Mathurina penduliflora.
Loewia glutinosa is a species of shrub from East Kenya belonging to the family Passifloraceae., Ethopia, and Somalia.
Oxossia is a genus of flowering plants in the subfamily Turneroideae (Passifloraceae) consisting of 15 species. This genus was recently defined in 2019 after a phylogenetic analysis of Turnera justified the creation of the genus. The genus is characterized by its stipules, small flowers, congested inflorescences, "hairy" stamen and style, and the attachment of stamen to the floral tube. All members of the genus are heterostylous with the exception of O. dasystyla. The genus can be divided into two morphological groups: those with white petals and those with yellow pink or red petals.
Loewia tanaensis is a subshrub with yellow/orange flowers. It is native to the dry tropics of Kenya. It is believed to be distylous.
Stapfiella lucida is a shrub native to Burundi, Congo, Rwana, and Zaïre. It reaches heights of 1.5 – 3 meters high, shiny 4–5 cm leaves that cluster at the top of branches, yellowish white homostylous flowers, and chestnut colored seeds.
Stapfiella usambarica is a shrub native to the Usambara mountains of Tanzania, Africa. It can be found at altitudes of 1900 - 2230 m. As of 2012, the conservation status of S. usambarica has not been evaluated.
Stapfiella zambesiensis is a shrub native to Zambia, Africa. It is found east of Kasama.
Tricliceras elatum is a distylous herb native to northern Mozambique, Africa. As of 2020, T. elatum has been classified as endangered.
Oxossia hatschbachii is a species of shrub in the genus Oxossia (Passifloraceae). It is native to the Atlantic Rainforest near Espírito Santo, Brazil. O. hatchbachii has heterostylous racemose flowers, ranging in color from white to red.
Oxossia rubrobracteata is a shrub in the genus Oxossia (Passifloraceae). It is native to the Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil.
Oxossia spicata is a shrub in the genus Oxossia (Passifloraceae). It is native to the Atlantic Rainforest of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The species is known from three different populations, however, additional field work is needed to determine the conservation status of O. spicata.
Oxossia waltherioides is a subshrub in the genus Oxossia (Passifloraceae). It is native to the Amazon Rainforest of Roraima, Brazil.
Piriqueta abairana is a shrub with orange distylous flowers in the genus Piriqueta of Turneroideae (Passifloraceae). It natively grows in Chapada Diamantina between 1,000 - 1,700 m.
