Phanera
''Phanera'' is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Cercidoideae. This genus differs from ''Bauhinia'' in being vines or lianas, generally with tendrils and a lobed rather than spathaceous calyx, and from '' Schnella'' in having only three fertile stamens rather than ten, and being native to the Indomalayan realm and the Australasian realm rather than the Americas. The subsection ''Corymbosae'' was recently segregated into a new genus, ''Cheniella''. It has been suggested that the genus ''Lasiobema'' should be reduced to a section within ''Phanera''. Species ''Phanera'' comprises the following species: # ''Phanera aherniana'' (Perkins) de Wit ## var. ''aherniana'' (Perkins) de Wit ## var. ''subglabra'' (Merr.) Bandyop., P.P. Goshal & M.K. Pathak # ''Phanera andersonii'' (K. Larsen & S.S. Larsen) Bandyop., P.P. Goshal & M.K. Pathak # ''Phanera argentea'' de Wit # ''Phanera audax'' de Wit # '' Phanera aurea'' (H. Lév.) Ma ...

Bauhinia
''Bauhinia'' () is a large genus of flowering plants in the subfamily Cercidoideae and tribe Bauhinieae, in the large flowering plant family Fabaceae, with a pantropical distribution. The genus was named after the Bauhin brothers Gaspard and Johann, Swiss-French botanists. Many species are widely planted in the tropics as orchid trees, particularly in India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Nepal and southeastern China. Other common names include mountain ebony and ''kachnar''. Before the family was reorganised, a number of genera including the lianas '' Lasiobema'' and '' Phanera'' were placed here (see related genera). In the United States, the trees grow in Hawaii, coastal California, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. There are native species, like '' Bauhinia lunarioides'' native to Texas and widely planted in the Southwest as a landscape plant. ''Bauhinia'' × ''blakeana'' is the floral emblem of Hong Kong—a stylized orchid tree flower appears on the flag of Hong Kong ...

Cercidoideae
Cercidoideae is a subfamily in the pea family, Fabaceae. Well-known members include ''Cercis'' (redbuds), including species widely cultivated as ornamental trees in the United States and Europe, ''Bauhinia'', widely cultivated as an ornamental tree in tropical Asia, and ''Tylosema'' , a semi-woody genus of Africa. The subfamily occupies a basal position within the Fabaceae and is supported as monophyletic in many molecular phylogenies. At the 6th International Legume Conference, the Legume Phylogeny Working Group proposed elevating the tribe Cercidae to the level of subfamily within the Leguminosae (Fabaceae). The consensus agreed to the change, which was fully implemented in 2017. It has the following clade-based definition: The most inclusive crown clade containing ''Cercis canadensis'' L. and ''Bauhinia divaricata'' L. but not '' Poeppigia procera'' C.Presl, '' Duparquetia orchidacea'' Baill., or ''Bobgunnia fistuloides'' (Harms) J.H.Kirkbr. & Wiersema.

Cheniella
''Cheniella'' is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Cercidoideae. This genus differs from '' Phanera'' in having a hypanthium that is equal in length or longer than the sepals, indehiscent fruit, many-seeded fruit, and the funicle extending most of the circumference of the seed. Species ''Cheniella'' comprises the following species: * '' Cheniella clemensiorum'' (Merr.) R.Clark & Mackinder * '' Cheniella corymbosa'' (Roxb.) R.Clark & Mackinder * '' Cheniella damiaoshanensis'' (T.C.Chen) R.Clark & Mackinder * '' Cheniella didyma'' (H.Y.Chen) R.Clark & Mackinder * '' Cheniella glauca'' (Wall. ex Benth.) R.Clark & Mackinder * '' Cheniella lakhonensis'' (Gagnep.) R.Clark & Mackinder * '' Cheniella ovatifolia'' (T.C.Chen) R.Clark & Mackinder * '' Cheniella quinnanensis'' (T.C.Chen) R.Clark & Mackinder ** subsp. ''gandhiana'' (Gogoi & Bandyop.)

Lasiobema
''Lasiobema'' is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae, most of which are lianas. It belongs to the subfamily Cercidoideae. It was recently synonymized with '' Phanera'' on the basis of morphology, but this move has been questioned. Species ''Lasiobema'' comprises the following species (several previously placed in ''Bauhinia''): * ''Lasiobema championii'' (Benth.) De Wit * ''Lasiobema comosa'' (W. G. Craib) A. Schmitz * '' Lasiobema curtisii'' (Prain) de Wit * ''Lasiobema delavayi'' (Franch.) A. Schmitz * ''Lasiobema dolichobotrys'' (Merr.) A. Schmitz * ''Lasiobema flavum'' de Wit * ''Lasiobema harmsianum'' (Hosseus) de Wit * ''Lasiobema japonicum'' (Maxim.) de Wit * ''Lasiobema penicilliloba'' (Pierre ex Gagnep) A. Schmitz * ''Lasiobema retusum'' (Roxb.) de Wit * ''Lasiobema scandens'' (L.) de Wit ** var. ''horsfieldii'' (Prain) K.Larsen & S.S.Larsen ** var.

Angiosperms
Flowering plants are plants that bear flowers and fruits, and form the clade Angiospermae (), commonly called angiosperms. They include all forbs (flowering plants without a woody stem), grasses and grass-like plants, a vast majority of broad-leaved trees, shrubs and vines, and most aquatic plants. The term "angiosperm" is derived from the Greek words ἀγγεῖον / ('container, vessel') and σπέρμα / ('seed'), meaning that the seeds are enclosed within a fruit. They are by far the most diverse group of land plants with 64 orders, 416 families, approximately 13,000 known genera and 300,000 known species. Angiosperms were formerly called Magnoliophyta (). Angiosperms are distinguished from the other seed-producing plants, the gymnosperms, by having flowers, xylem consisting of vessel elements instead of tracheids, endosperm within their seeds, and fruits that completely envelop the seeds. The ancestors of flowering plants diverged from the common ances ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
