Olinia
''Olinia'' is a genus of small trees and shrubs with 10 species in the family Penaeaceae. The species of ''Olinia'' are native to Africa, ranging from west Africa to South Africa. It was previously regarded as the sole genus in the family Oliniaceae, but is now included in the expanded Penaeaceae along with '' Rhynchocalyx'' (formerly of the Rhynchocalycaceae) under the APG III system The APG III system of flowering plant classification is the third version of a modern, mostly molecular-based, system of plant taxonomy being developed by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG).

Olinia Ventosa
''Olinia ventosa'', commonly known as the hard-pear. is a large, evergreen forest tree indigenous to South Africa. Appearance The hard-pear is a large tree that usually grows to 15–20 meters in height. When exposed to harsh conditions, it forms a smaller tree or shrub. The bark is originally smooth and grey, but it becomes rough, flaky, fissured and reddish as the tree matures. The leathery, dark green, glossy leaves appear in opposite pairs, while the pinkish-white, fragrant, bisexual flowers appear in bunches at branch ends in the spring. The tree very occasionally bears pinkish-red berries. The hard-pear can sometimes be identified by the strong smell of almonds given off by the crushing of its leaves. Distribution ''Olinia ventosa'' is a native of the southern and eastern coastal regions of South Africa, from the Cape Peninsula to southern KwaZulu-Natal. Its natural habitat is afro-montane forests, especially the forest margins, as well as coastal scrub and rocky hil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Olinia Emarginata
''Olinia emarginata'', the mountain hard pear or berghardepeer in Afrikaans language, is a tree species in the family ''Penaeaceae''. It is native to South Africa and Lesotho. Prunasin, a cyanogenic glucoside, can be found in the leaves of ''O. emarginata''.Occurrence of the cyanogenic glucoside prunasin and II corresponding mandelic acid amide glucoside in ''Olinia'' species (Oliniaceae).

Rhynchocalyx
''Rhynchocalyx lawsonioides'', the false-waterberry, is a small flowering tree, the sole species of the genus ''Rhynchocalyx''. It had also previously been regarded as the only species in the monogeneric family Rhynchocalycaceae but is now included in the expanded Penaeaceae along with '' Olinia'' (formerly of the Oliniaceae) under the APG III system of classification. ''Rhynchocalyx'' is endemic to the KwaZulu-Cape coastal forest mosaic ecoregion of the Natal and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa. Distribution ''Rhynchocalyx'' is found from Oribi Gorge to Port St. Johns, in Pondoland Pondoland or Mpondoland (Mpondo: ''EmaMpondweni''), is a natural region on the South African shores of the Indian Ocean.

APG III System
The APG III system of flowering plant classification is the third version of a modern, mostly molecular-based, system of plant taxonomy being developed by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG). Published in 2009, it was superseded in 2016 by a further revision, the APG IV system. Along with the publication outlining the new system, there were two accompanying publications in the same issue of the Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society: * The first, by Chase & Reveal, was a formal phylogenetic classification of all land plants (embryophytes), compatible with the APG III classification. As the APG have chosen to eschew ranks above order, this paper was meant to fit the system into the existing Linnaean hierarchy for those that prefer such a classification. The result was that all land plants were placed in the class Equisetopsida, which was then divided into 16 subclasses and a multitude of superorders. * The second, by Haston ''et al.'', was a linear sequence of families fol ...
