Sterculioideae
Sterculioideae is a subfamily of the family (biology), family Malvaceae containing evergreen and deciduous tree and shrub genera, that were previously placed in the obsolete family Sterculiaceae. Taxonomy A 2006 molecular study indicated the Sterculioideae was most likely to be a monophyletic group, and that it had four major clades within it. However, the relationships between the clades were not resolved. The clades consist of: * a ''Cola'' clade, with the genera ''Cola (plant), Cola'' and ''Octolobus'' of Africa and ''Pterygota (plant), Pterygota'' of Africa, South America and southeast Asia forming a subclade, ''Hildegardia (plant), Hildegardia'' and ''Firmiana'' forming a second and ''Scaphium'' and ''Pterocymbium'' a third. * ''Heritiera'' clade comprising the genus ''Heritiera'' * ''Sterculia'' clade comprising the large genus ''Sterculia'' of Australasia and Asia. * ''Brachychiton'' clade of Australasian and New Caledonian species, including ''Brachychiton'', ''Acropogon' ...

Sterculiaceae
Sterculiaceae was a family of flowering plant based on the genus '' Sterculia''. Genera formerly included in Sterculiaceae are now placed in the family Malvaceae, in the subfamilies: Byttnerioideae, Dombeyoideae, Helicteroideae and Sterculioideae. As traditionally circumscribed the Sterculiaceae, Malvaceae, Bombacaceae, and Tiliaceae comprise the "core Malvales" of the Cronquist system and the close relationship among these families is generally recognized. Sterculiaceae may be separated from Malvaceae '' sensu stricto'' by the smooth surface of the pollen grains and the bilocular anthers. Numerous phylogenetic studies have revealed that Sterculiaceae, Tiliaceae and Bombacaceae as traditionally defined are cladistically polyphyletic. The APG and APG II systems unite Bombacaceae, Malvaceae ''sensu stricto'', Sterculiaceae and Tiliaceae into a more widely circumscribed Malvaceae, i.e., Malvaceae '' sensu lato''. In that view the taxa formerly classified in Sterculiaceae are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Scaphium
''Scaphium'' is a genus of about eight species of plants in the subfamily Sterculioideae of the family Malvaceae Malvaceae (), or the mallows, is a family of flowering plants estimated to contain 244 genera with 4225 known species. Well-known members of economic importance include Theobroma cacao, cacao, Cola (plant), cola, cotton, okra, Hibiscus sabdariffa, .... The name comes from the Greek, ''skaphion'' (σκάφιον), meaning a small boat like a skiff, and refers to the shape of the fruit.A Revision of Scaphium (Sterculioideae, Malvaceae / Sterculiaceae), Peter Wilkie, Cambridge University Press, 2009 Species * '' Scaphium affine'' (Mast.)

Octolobus
''Octolobus'' is a genus of tropical forest trees in the family Malvaceae, subfamily Sterculioideae (previously placed in the Sterculiaceae). They are found in Central and West Africa and are closely related to the genus ''Cola''. Both share a leaf structure with entire margins, featuring a cuneate base, three main veins, a pulvinus at the petiole tip, weak brochidodromous secondary veins, and multicellular glandular hairs on the epidermis.

Malvaceae
Malvaceae (), or the mallows, is a family of flowering plants estimated to contain 244 genera with 4225 known species. Well-known members of economic importance include Theobroma cacao, cacao, Cola (plant), cola, cotton, okra, Hibiscus sabdariffa, roselle and durian. There are also some genera containing familiar ornamentals, such as ''Alcea'' (hollyhock), ''Malva'' (mallow), and ''Tilia'' (lime or linden tree). The genera with the largest numbers of species include ''Hibiscus'' (434 species), ''Pavonia (plant), Pavonia'' (291 species), ''Sida (plant), Sida'' (275 species), ''Ayenia'' (216 species), ''Dombeya'' (197 species), and ''Sterculia'' (181 species). Taxonomy and nomenclature The circumscription of the Malvaceae is controversial. The traditional Malvaceae ''sensu stricto'' comprise a very homogeneous and cladistically Monophyly, monophyletic group. Another major circumscription, Malvaceae ''sensu lato'', has been more recently defined on the basis that genetics studies ha ...

''Cola'' is a genus of trees native to the tropical forests of Africa, classified in the family Malvaceae, subfamily Sterculioideae (previously in the separate family Sterculiaceae). Species in this genus are sometimes referred to as kola tree or kola nut for the caffeine-containing fruit produced by the trees that is often used as a flavoring ingredient in beverages.
