Taxonomy Of The Phyllanthaceae
Below is the full taxonomy of the family Phyllanthaceae. Its circumscription is nearly coincident to that of ex-subfamily Phyllanthoideae of the Euphorbiaceae, where this family was split from. The exceptions are that the ex-tribe Drypeteae has become family Putranjivaceae, and the genus ''Centroplacus'', which previously constituted tribe Centroplaceae, is now part of the Pandaceae. Tribe Amanoeae There are 2 genera: :''Amanoa'' (also called ''Micropetalum'') :'' Pentabrachion'' Tribe Antidesmateae There are 5 subtribes and 19 genera: Subtribe Antidesminae: :'' Antidesma'' (also ''Bestram'', ''Coulejia'', ''Minutalia'', ''Rhytis'', ''Rubina'', ''Stilago'') :'' Celianella'' :''Hieronyma'' (also ''Hieronima'', ''Hyeronima'', ''Stilaginella'') :'' Leptonema'' :'' Thecacoris'' (also ''Baccaureopsis'', ''Cyathogyne'', ''Henribaillonia'') Subtribe Porantherinae: :''Oreoporanthera'' :''Poranthera'' Subtribe Scepinae: :'' Apodiscus'' :'' Aporosa'' (also ''Aporusa'', ''Leiocar ...

Taxonomy (biology)
In biology, taxonomy () is the scientific study of naming, defining ( circumscribing) and classifying groups of biological organisms based on shared characteristics. Organisms are grouped into taxa (singular: taxon) and these groups are given a taxonomic rank; groups of a given rank can be aggregated to form a more inclusive group of higher rank, thus creating a taxonomic hierarchy. The principal ranks in modern use are domain, kingdom, phylum (''division'' is sometimes used in botany in place of ''phylum''), class, order, family, genus, and species. The Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus is regarded as the founder of the current system of taxonomy, as he developed a ranked system known as Linnaean taxonomy for categorizing organisms and binomial nomenclature for naming organisms. With advances in the theory, data and analytical technology of biological systematics, the Linnaean system has transformed into a system of modern biological classification intended to reflect the ...

Aporosa
''Aporosa'' is a genus of flowering plant belonging to the family Phyllanthaceae, first described as a genus in 1825. It is native to China, the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Papuasia, and Queensland. These plants are mostly dioecious trees or shrubs.
