Rayleya
''Ayenia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae. It includes 216 species of subshrubs, shrubs, small trees, and lianas.Whitlock, B. A., & Hale, A. M.

They are native to the tropical Americas and southwestern United States, tropical Africa, and tropical Asia. Description ''Ayenia'' includes subshrubs, shrubs, small trees, and lianas. The genus is distinguished by its tiny yet extraordinarily complex flowers. Ecology Species of ''Ayenia'' grow in diverse habitats, from open areas in dry and seasonally-dry regions to humid forests, river banks, and from lowlands to high elevations. ''Byttneria'' species are host plants to insects such as beetles of the genus '' Lonchophorellus''.

Melochia
''Melochia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae. It comprises 54 species from the tropical and subtropical regions of the world, ranging from India eastwards through Malesia and the Pacific Islands to the Americas and the Caribbean. Some taxonomy books have placed genus ''Melochia'' in the family ''Sterculiaceae,'' but ''Sterculiaceae'' is now generally considered obsolete as a taxonomic class. The name "Melochia" comes from the Arabic name Mulukhiyah which in Arabic means mallow plants of the genus ''Corchorus'' (including ''Corchorus olitorius'') which are cultivated as vegetables in Egypt (and elsewhere). The take-up of this Arabic ''Molokheya'' as a label for the ''Melochia'' mallow plants began with the Latin botanist Prospero Alpini (died 1617), who spent several years in Egypt in the 1580s, and Alpini's name was soon adopted by the botanists Johann Bauhin (died 1613), Caspar Bauhin (died 1624), and Johann Vesling (visited Egypt 1628; died 1649) ...

Abroma
''Abroma'' is a genus in the family Malvaceae, with one or two species from Asia and Australia. ''Ambroma'' is an orthographic variant. Taxonomy The genus was described by Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin in 1776 with a single species ''Abroma fastuosum'', which was illustrated and described. However, because Jacquin was renaming ''Theobroma augusta'' L., according to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, he was required to use the name ''Abroma augustum'', and ''A. fastuosum'' is an illegitimate name. The correct name of the type species, ''A. augustum'' (L.) L. f., was made in 1782 by Carl Linnaeus the Younger. Species *''Abroma augustum'' (L.) L.f. – devil's cotton, bark a source of jute-like fibre Fiber (spelled fibre in British English; from ) is a natural or artificial substance that is significantly longer than it is wide. Fibers are often used in the manufacture of other materials. The strongest engineering materials often incorp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hermannia
''Hermannia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae. It comprises at least 65 species with many more species as yet unresolved. The genus commemorates Prof. Paul Hermann (1646-1695), a German professor of botany at Leyden and one of the first collectors to visit the Cape. The genus has a large number of species, each with very limited distribution, but they are generally common and not threatened, with little interest shown in them for horticulture or medicine. Their distribution ranges across Southern Africa Southern Africa is the southernmost region of Africa. No definition is agreed upon, but some groupings include the United Nations geoscheme for Africa, United Nations geoscheme, the intergovernmental Southern African Development Community, and ..., the vast majority of species being endemic. They are also found in Madagascar and in tropical East Africa to North East Africa and Arabia. A single species, ''Hermannia tigrensis'', is found in we ...
