Cyathocalyx
''Cyathocalyx'' is a small genus of 7 species distributed throughout the floristic regions of the Indian subcontinent, Indo-China and Malesia. The name ''Cyathocalyx'' was erected as a genus in 1855 by Joseph Dalton Hooker and Thomas Thomson. Since then the delimitation of the genus has proved problematic, with various taxonomists proposing different assessments of the scope of the genus. In 2006 Rui Jiang Wang and Richard M.K. Saunders reduced the size of the genus from the then 36 species to 15. The genus was further reduced in 2010 to just seven species. Species , Plants of the World Online accepts the following 7 species: * ''Cyathocalyx annamensis'' * '' Cyathocalyx globosus'' * ''Cyathocalyx harmandii'' * ''Cyathocalyx magnifructus'' * ''Cyathocalyx martabanicus'' * ''Cyathocalyx sumatranus'' * ''Cyathocalyx zeylanicus ''Cyathocalyx zeylanicus'' is a plant species within the genus '' Cyathocalyx'' of the family Annonaceae.

Flora Of The Indian Subcontinent
Flora (: floras or florae) is all the plant life present in a particular region or time, generally the naturally occurring ( indigenous) native plants. The corresponding term for animals is ''fauna'', and for fungi, it is '' funga''. Sometimes bacteria and fungi are also referred to as flora as in the terms ''gut flora'' or ''skin flora'' for purposes of specificity. Etymology The word "flora" comes from the Latin name of Flora, the goddess of plants, flowers, and fertility in Roman mythology. The technical term "flora" is then derived from a metonymy of this goddess at the end of the sixteenth century. It was first used in poetry to denote the natural vegetation of an area, but soon also assumed the meaning of a work cataloguing such vegetation. Moreover, "Flora" was used to refer to the flowers of an artificial garden in the seventeenth century. The distinction between vegetation (the general appearance of a community) and flora (the taxonomic composition of a community) wa ...
