Metteniusales
Metteniusaceae are a family of flowering plants, the only family in the order Metteniusales. It consists of about 10 genera and 50 species of trees, shrubs, and lianas, primarily of the tropics. The family was formerly restricted to just ''Metteniusa'', but it is now expanded with a number of genera that were formerly placed in the widely polyphyletic Icacinaceae.

Icacinaceae
The Icacinaceae, also called the white pear family, are a family of flowering plants,"Icacinaceae" At: Angiosperm Phylogeny Website At: Missouri Botanical Garden Website (see ''External links'' below). consisting of trees, shrubs, and lianas, primarily of the tropics. The family was traditionally circumscribed quite broadly, with around 55 genera totalling over 400 species. In 2001, though, this circumscription was found to be polyphyletic, and the family was split into four families in three different orders: Icacinaceae '' sensu stricto'' (then unplaced at order rank), Pennantiaceae (Apiales), Stemonuraceae ( Aquifoliales) and Cardiopteridaceae (also Aquifoliales). Other genera have later been moved to Metteniusaceae (Metteniusales),Stull, G. W., R. Duno de Stefano, D. E. Soltis, and P. S. Soltis (2015).

Flowering Plant
Flowering plants are plants that bear flowers and fruits, and form the clade Angiospermae (), commonly called angiosperms. They include all forbs (flowering plants without a woody stem), grasses and grass-like plants, a vast majority of broad-leaved trees, shrubs and vines, and most aquatic plants. The term "angiosperm" is derived from the Greek words ἀγγεῖον / ('container, vessel') and σπέρμα / ('seed'), meaning that the seeds are enclosed within a fruit. They are by far the most diverse group of land plants with 64 orders, 416 families, approximately 13,000 known genera and 300,000 known species. Angiosperms were formerly called Magnoliophyta (). Angiosperms are distinguished from the other seed-producing plants, the gymnosperms, by having flowers, xylem consisting of vessel elements instead of tracheids, endosperm within their seeds, and fruits that completely envelop the seeds. The ancestors of flowering plants diverged from the common ance ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tree
In botany, a tree is a perennial plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, usually supporting branches and leaves. In some usages, the definition of a tree may be narrower, including only woody plants with secondary growth, plants that are usable as lumber or plants above a specified height. In wider definitions, the taller palms, tree ferns, bananas, and bamboos are also trees. Trees are not a taxonomic group but include a variety of plant species that have independently evolved a trunk and branches as a way to tower above other plants to compete for sunlight. The majority of tree species are angiosperms or hardwoods; of the rest, many are gymnosperms or softwoods. Trees tend to be long-lived, some reaching several thousand years old. Trees have been in existence for 370 million years. It is estimated that there are some three trillion mature trees in the world. A tree typically has many secondary branches supported clear of the ground by the trunk. This trunk typi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Platea (plant)
''Platea'', known as 肖榄属 (xiao lan shu) in Mandarin, is a genus in the Metteniusaceae found in tropical and subtropical Asia. It is a small genus of mostly dioecious trees that grow in high-elevation forests. Description ''Platea'' is a genus of predominantly dioecious trees with spirally arranged leathery leaves. Plants may grow up to 45 meters tall. The young shoots and branches are covered with stellate (star-shaped) trichomes or simple hairs. The staminate (male) flowers are arranged in panicles and the pistillate (female) flowers in racemes. The flowers are pentamerous (floral parts arranged in five), with female flowers lacking petals. The stigma is sessile and disc-shaped, and the ovaries are cylindrical. The fruits are cylindrical drupes that are blue-black when ripe with a woody endocarp. Taxonomy and naming ''Platea'' was once placed in the Icacinaceae. After the Icacinaceae were split into four smaller families, ''Platea'' was transferred to the Metteniusaceae. ...
