Turneraceae
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). Description Most species in Turneraceae are tropical or sub- tropical shrubs, with a few trees. Half of the family's species belong to the genus ''Turnera'', including the herb damiana (''T. diffusa, T. aphrodisiaca''), the yellow alder (''T. pumilea''), which is not really an alder Alders are trees comprising the genus ''Alnus'' in the birch family Betulaceae. The genus comprises about 35 species of monoecious trees and shrubs, a few reaching a large size, distributed throughout the north temperate zone with a few sp ..., and the "ramgoat dashalong" (''T. ulmifolia'').

Malpighiales Families
The Malpighiales comprise one of the largest orders of flowering plants, containing about 36 families and more than species, about 7.8% of the eudicots. The order is very diverse, containing plants as different as the willow, violet, poinsettia, manchineel, rafflesia and Coca, coca plant, and are hard to recognize except with molecular phylogenetic evidence. It is not part of any of the Systematics, classification systems based only on plant morphology. Molecular clock calculations estimate the origin of stem group Malpighiales at around 100 million years ago (mya (unit), Mya) and the origin of crown group Malpighiales at about 90 Mya. The Malpighiales are divided into 32 to 42 Family (biology), families, depending upon which clades in the order are given the taxonomic rank of family. In the APG III system, 35 families were recognized. Medusagynaceae, Quiinaceae, Peraceae, Malesherbiaceae, Turneraceae, Samydaceae, and Scyphostegiaceae were consolidated into other families. The ...

Floral morphology ''A. cubensis'' has white homostylous flowers (3cm) with protruding styles, free penduncles (1.5cm), and short pedicels In botany, a pedicel is a stem that attaches a single flower to the inflorescence. Such inflorescences are described as ''pedicellate''. Description Pedicel refers to a structure connecting a single flower to its inflorescence. In the absenc ... (0.5cm).
