Balanops
''Balanops'' is a group of flowering plants described as a genus in 1871. The nine species are trees or shrubs, found in New Caledonia, Fiji, Vanuatu, and northern Queensland. They are dioecious, with separate male and female plants. The genus by itself constitutes the family (biology), family Balanopaceae (formerly the spelling ''Balanopsidaceae'' was also used). It is placed in the order Malpighiales and is related to Chrysobalanaceae, Dichapetalaceae, Euphroniaceae and Trigoniaceae.

Balanops Sparsifolia
''Balanops'' is a group of flowering plants described as a genus in 1871. The nine species are trees or shrubs, found in New Caledonia, Fiji, Vanuatu, and northern Queensland. They are dioecious, with separate male and female plants. The genus by itself constitutes the family Balanopaceae (formerly the spelling ''Balanopsidaceae'' was also used). It is placed in the order Malpighiales and is related to Chrysobalanaceae, Dichapetalaceae, Euphroniaceae and Trigoniaceae.

Euphroniaceae
''Euphronia'' is a genus of three species of shrubs native to northern South America and is the only genus in the family Euphroniaceae. It was previously classified in the Vochysiaceae family and elsewhere due to its unique floral features, but the APG III system of 2009 recognized Euphroniaceae as distinct and placed ''Euphronia'' in it. Based on molecular data from the rbcL gene, it is sister to the Chrysobalanaceae. Classification The genus was originally described by Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius and Joseph Gerhard Zuccarini in 1824 when they described '' Euphronia hirtelloides'' as a new species. In 1918, the German botanist Johannes Gottfried Hallier reclassified what was then known as ''Lightia guianensis'' as a species in this genus: '' Euphronia guianensis''. And in 1987, the American botanist Julian Alfred Steyermark Julian Alfred Steyermark (January 27, 1909 – October 15, 1988) was a Venezuelan American botanist. His focus was on New World vegetation, and he ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Malpighiales Genera
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 plant, and are hard to recognize except with molecular phylogenetic evidence. It is not part of any of the classification systems based only on plant morphology. Molecular clock calculations estimate the origin of stem group Malpighiales at around 100 million years ago (Mya) and the origin of crown group Malpighiales at about 90 Mya. The Malpighiales are divided into 32 to 42 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 largest family, by far, is the Euphorbia ...
