Rhabdophyllum is a genus of flowering plants in the family Ochnaceae, native to western and central Tropical Africa. [1] Nuclear DNA evidence shows that it is sister to Campylospermum . [2]
The following species are accepted: [1]
Ochnaceae is a family of flowering plants in the order Malpighiales. In the APG III system of classification of flowering plants, Ochnaceae is defined broadly, to include about 550 species, and encompasses what some taxonomists have treated as the separate families Medusagynaceae and Quiinaceae. In a phylogenetic study that was published in 2014, Ochnaceae was recognized in the broad sense, but two works published after APG III have accepted the small families Medusagynaceae and Quiinaceae. These have not been accepted by APG IV (2016).
Ochna is a genus comprising 79 species of evergreen trees, shrubs and shrublets belonging to the flowering plant family Ochnaceae. These species are native to tropical woodlands of Africa, Madagascar, the Mascarenes and Asia. Species of this genus are usually called ochnas, bird's-eye bushes or Mickey-mouse plants, a name derived from the shape of the drupelet fruit. The name of this genus comes from the Greek word ὄχνη (ókhnē), used by Theocritus and meaning "wild pear", as the leaves are similar in appearance. Some species, including Ochna integerrima and O. serrulata, are cultivated as decorative plants.
The Simaroubaceae are a small, mostly tropical, family in the order Sapindales. In recent decades, it has been subject to much taxonomic debate, with several small families being split off. A molecular phylogeny of the family was published in 2007, greatly clarifying relationships within the family. Together with chemical characteristics such as the occurrence of petroselinic acid in Picrasma, in contrast to other members of the family such as Ailanthus, this indicates the existence of a subgroup in the family with Picrasma, Holacantha, and Castela.
Brackenridgea is a flowering plant genus of 11 species in the family Ochnaceae. The genus is named for the British-American botanist William Dunlop Brackenridge.
Campylospermum is a genus of flowering plants in the family Ochnaceae. It includes 55 species native to tropical Africa, India, Indochina, Hainan, and western Malesia.
Campylospermum scheffleri is a species of plant in the family Ochnaceae. It is native from south-east Kenya to Tanzania.
Lophira is a genus of plants in the family Ochnaceae. Almost every part of Lophira is used for various medicinal purposes.
Campylospermum amplectens, synonym Ouratea amplectens, is a species of plant in the family Ochnaceae. It is found in west tropical Africa: Ghana, Ivory Coast, Liberia and Sierra Leone. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Ouratea is a genus of flowering plants in the family (Ochnaceae). It includes over 290 species native to the tropical Americas, from Mexico and Cuba to southern Brazil, to Cameroon and Gabon in West-Central Africa, and to Ascension Island in the South Atlantic. Most species are native to the Americas, with two African species, Ouratea batesii and Ouratea stenophylla, and Ouratea lessonii endemic to Ascension. Many genera have been brought into synonymy with Ouratea, including Gomphia.
Rhabdophyllum arnoldianum, synonyms including Ouratea quintasii, is a species of plant in the family Ochnaceae. It is native to tropical Africa from Nigeria to South Sudan. It is a shrub or tree.
Ouratea glomerata(Pohl) Sastre & Offroy is a species of flowering plant in the family Ochnaceae, native to west-central Brazil. It was first described by Johann Baptist Emanuel Pohl in 1833 as Gomphia glomerata.
Lysiana is a genus of hemiparasitic shrubs endemic to Australia, in the family Loranthaceae.
Elvasia is a Neotropical genus of plants in the family Ochnaceae. It includes 14 species native to the tropical Americas, ranging from Belize to Bolivia and southeastern Brazil.
Balanophora is a genus of parasitic flowering plants in the family Balanophoraceae found in parts of tropical and temperate Asia, including the Eastern Himalayas, Malesia region, Pacific Islands, Madagascar, and tropical Africa. There are about 20 accepted species, including the newly discovered B. coralliformis. Many species emit an odour which possibly attracts pollinators in the same way that pollinators are attracted to Rafflesia.
Macrosolen is a genus of plants in the family Loranthaceae. It includes about 83 species all over the world with ca. 40 species widely distributed in tropical South and Southeast Asia. Some species were described by de Loureiro, Lecomte, Danser (1938) and Hô (2003).
Campylospermum oliveri is a species of plant in the Ochnaceae family. It is endemic to Cameroon. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Polythecanthum cambodianum is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Ochnaceae. It is endemic to Cambodia. It is the sole species in genus Polythecanthum.
Globimetula is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Loranthaceae.
Rhytidanthera is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Ochnaceae.
Idertia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Ochnaceae. The only species is Idertia axillaris.
