Overview

''Beilschmiedia'' is a genus of about 240-250 species, that are trees or shrubs; it has about 80 species in tropical Africa and Madagascar. They are commonly canopy trees, growing at altitudes from near sea level to 2200 m. The trees grow in well-developed rainforests, and in warm or temperate forests on poorer sedimentary soils. Most species grow in

Ecology

''Beilschmiedia'' falls within the Lauraceae, a family of aromatic
evergreen In botany, an evergreen is a plant which has foliage that remains green and functional through more than one growing season. This also pertains to plants that retain their foliage only in warm climates, and contrasts with deciduous plants, whic ...
trees or shrubs. Many botanical species are similar in foliage to the Lauraceae due to convergent evolution. Those plants are adapted to high rainfall and humidity. The patterns of speciation in the Lauraceae indicate, since the onset of aridification on the continents 15 million years ago (Mya), rainforest species diversified. One of the products of aridification is the isolation of populations and this likely caused the increase in the rate of speciation as found in the Lauraceae. This genus has species adapted to the laurel forest habitat, so common in the Lauraceae and species adapted to a more Mediterranean-type climate with a dry season with lower rainfall. The morphology of sclerophyllous species is divergent from other humid tropical climate species of the genus. The greatest diversity of species and a greater presence of the genus is given in cloud forest and tropical rainforest in Asia and

, the genus ''Beilschmiedia'' is particularly important in the island flora, and their species were isolated when the island was separated from the African continent. The genus ''Beilschmiedia'' is present in a greater climatic distribution area than other genera of Lauraceae, ''Beilschmiedia'' species grow well in moist, well-drained ground, and tolerate a variety of soil types, and attain a maximum in tropical and wetter areas of distribution, but their pattern of speciation results in some cases from the product of aridification of the habitat. Some ''Beilschmiedia'' species are adapted to drier conditions than the typical Lauraceae. Some endangered

climate, and tropical and subtropical lowland forests and montane rainforest. Shade-loving ''B. mannii'' grows in riverine and swamp forest, or in evergreen primary and secondary forest. ''B. gaboonensis'', ''B. lebrunii'', and ''B. nitida'' are included in subgenus ''Hufelandia'' of ''Beilschmiedia''. ''B. variabilis'' and ''B. zenkeri'' are included in section ''Acrothecon''. '' Beilschmiedia gaboonensis'' is a medium-sized tree up to 30 m tall with a bole diameter up to 60 cm. It is distributed from Nigeria to DR Congo and occurs in wet and marshy locations in lowland rainforest. ''B. lebrunii'' is a rare tree up to 15 m tall with a bole diameter up to 30 cm, occurring in DR Congo in forest at 1450–1700 m altitude. ''B. nitida'' is a shrub or small tree up to 8 m tall, distributed in Cameroon and Congo. ''Beilschmiedia variabilis'' is a shrub or small tree up to 10 m tall with a bole diameter up to 25 cm, occurring rather commonly in Congo in the understorey of forest in swampy, periodically inundated or drier locations. ''B. zenkeri'' is a shrub or small tree up to 15 m tall, occurring in Cameroon and Congo in swampy and periodically inundated forest. The genus ''Beilschmiedia'' responded to favourable climatic periods and expanded across the available habitat, adapting also to more extreme conditions, but depending on favorable soil edaphic conditions. ''Beilschmiedia'' species need an annual oscillation of the temperature moderated by the proximity of the ocean and many species resist bad cold and frost.

Description

Frequently, their bark is pale to dark brown, smooth or coarse, and they have fine, reddish-brown hairs densely covering the branchlets, and the young leaves are reddish. The dark green leaves are alternate and leathery. Sometimes broad, others small and narrow, the leaves have distinctive depressed veins. The flowers are greenish to cream to yellow-green, and pedicellate of 4–6 mm. The flowers often are clothed in dense reddish-brown hairs. The flowers are hermaphroditic and arranged in inflorescences. The inflorescence is an erect panicle arising from the leaf axil. The stamens are in two whorls; the ovary is in a superior position. The fruit is variable from one species to other' in some species it is a drupe, large and globose green, 12 cm in diameter with a tip at the apex. In other species, the fruit is an erect, plum-like, dark purple or sometimes elliptical to ovoid drupe, dark purple when ripe, and covered in a waxy bloom. In others, the fruit is a black, round drupe with a glaucous bloom, with a single seed inside. In the genus ''Beilschmiedia'', the dispersal of seeds is by birds that swallow them, so they are shaped to attract the birds. The one-seeded fruits are an important food source for birds, including being a favorite food of the native pigeons in New Zealand.
