Cosmocalyx
''Cosmocalyx'' is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. The genus contains only one species, viz. ''Cosmocalyx spectabilis'', which is found in Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala. Description ''Cosmocalyx spectabilis'' is a slender tree, up to in height and in diameter ( dbh). After anthesis, one of the four calyx lobes expands into a reddish, leaf-like structure called a calycophyll. These facilitate dispersal of the fruit by wind. The fruit is a cylindrical indehiscent bilocular capsule. Each locule contains one basally inserted seed. This combination of characters distinguishes ''Cosmocalyx'' from other genera in Rubiaceae. Systematics ''Cosmocalyx'' was named by Paul Standley in 1930.''Cosmocalyx'' page 56. In: Paul C. Standley. 1930. "Studies of American Plants – III". ''Field Museum of Natural History. Botanical series.'' 8(1):3-73. The generic name is derived from the Ancient Greek words, ''kosmos'', meaning "order", and ''kalyx'', "a ...

Rubiaceae
Rubiaceae () is a family (biology), family of flowering plants, commonly known as the coffee, madder, or bedstraw family. It consists of terrestrial trees, shrubs, lianas, or herbs that are recognizable by simple, opposite leaves with Petiole (botany), interpetiolar stipules and sympetalous actinomorphic flowers. The family contains about 14,100 species in about 580 genera, which makes it the fourth-largest angiosperm family. Rubiaceae has a cosmopolitan distribution; however, the largest species diversity is concentrated in the tropics and subtropics. Economically important genera include ''Coffea'', the source of coffee; ''Cinchona'', the source of the antimalarial alkaloid quinine; ornamental cultivars (''e.g.'', ''Gardenia'', ''Ixora'', ''Pentas''); and historically some dye plants (''e.g.'', ''Rubia''). Description The Rubiaceae are morphologically easily recognizable as a coherent group by a combination of characters: opposite or whorled leaves that are simple and entire, ...
