Arytera
''Arytera'' is a genus of about twenty–eight species known to science, of trees and shrubs and constituting part of the plant family Sapindaceae. They grow naturally in New Guinea, Indonesia, New Caledonia, Australia, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga; and the most widespread species and type species ''A. littoralis'' grows throughout Malesia and across Southeast Asia, from NE. India, southern China, Borneo, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines to as far east as New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. The eleven Australian species may have the common name coogera and they grow naturally in the rainforests of eastern Australia and the Northern Territory. Formerly included here were three species now in the genus ''Mischarytera''. Naming and classification European science formally named and described this genus and the type species in 1847, authored by botanist Carl Ludwig Blume.

Mischarytera
''Mischarytera'' is a genus of rainforest trees, constituting part of the plant family Sapindaceae. Four species are known to science , found growing naturally in eastern Queensland, Australia, and in New Guinea. Formerly until 1995, they had names within the genus ''Arytera'', subgenus ''Mischarytera''. In 2006 botanist Paul I. Forster formally scientifically described '' Mischarytera megaphylla'' based on specimens collected from trees of a restricted area (endemic) of the lowland Daintree Rainforest region, part of the larger Wet Tropics region of north-eastern Queensland, Australia. Before the formal description these trees were known and informally described as ''Mischarytera'' sp. Oliver Creek ( L.J.Webb+ 10903) Qld Herbarium and Sapindaceae sp. (Noah Creek BG 6026).

Arytera Divaricata
''Arytera divaricata'', known as the gap axe, coogara, coogera or rose tamarind is a forest tree of eastern Australia. An attractive plant with glossy pale and limp new leaves. It grows in fairly dry situations, often in littoral rainforests and monsoon forest. The southernmost limit of natural distribution is Port Stephens (32° S) in New South Wales, extending north to Cape York at the northernmost tip of Australia. The generic name ''Arytera'' is from the Greek for 'cup', referring to the cup-shaped fruit valves. The specific epithet ''divaricata'' is from Latin and refers to the wide-spreading branchlets of the flower panicle. Description A small to large tree with dark mature leaves, reaching a height of over 35 metres, though usually seen less than ten metres tall. The base of the tree is somewhat flanged. The bark is thin, smooth and greyish. The leaves are pinnate and alternate, of two to six pairs of leaflets. Leaf shape is lanceolate to ovate, not toothed. Leaflets ...

Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...

Plants Of The World Online
Plants of the World Online (POWO) is an online taxonomic database published by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. History Following the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew launched Plants of the World Online in March 2017 with the goal of creating an exhaustive online database of all seed-bearing plants worldwide. (Govaerts wrongly speaks of "Convention for Botanical Diversity (CBD)). The initial focus was on tropical African flora, particularly flora ''Zambesiaca'', flora of West and East Tropical Africa. Since March 2024, the website has displayed AI-generated predictions of the extinction risk for each plant. Description The database uses the same taxonomical source as the International Plant Names Index, which is the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP). The database contains information on the world's flora gathered from 250 years of botanical research. It aims to make available data from projects that no longer have an online ...

Australian Plant Name Index
The Australian Plant Name Index (APNI) is an online database of all published names of Australian vascular plants. It covers all names, whether current names, synonyms or invalid names. It includes bibliographic and typification details, information from the Australian Plant Census including distribution by state, links to other resources such as specimen collection maps and plant photographs, and the facility for notes and comments on other aspects. History Originally the brainchild of Nancy Tyson Burbidge, it began as a four-volume printed work consisting of 3,055 pages and containing over 60,000 plant names. Compiled by Arthur Chapman, it was part of the Australian Biological Resources Study (ABRS). In 1991 it was made available as an online database and handed over to the Australian National Botanic Gardens. Two years later, responsibility for its maintenance was given to the newly formed Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research. Scope Recognised by Australian herbaria as th ...
