Actephila
''Actephila'' is a genus of plants in the family Phyllanthaceae, first described as a genus in 1826. It is one of 8 genera in the tribe Poranthereae, and is most closely related to '' Leptopus''. The name of the genus is derived from two Greek words, ''akte'', "the seashore", and ''philos'', "loving". It refers to a coastal habitat.Umberto Quattrocchi. 2000.

Actephila Excelsa
''Actephila excelsa'' is a species of shrub in the family Phyllanthaceae. It is native to an area in Tropical Asia and Zhōngguó/China, from Sulawesi to India and Guangxi. It is a highly variable species and leaf forms vary across adjacent ecozones. The plant is used in building houses and as a vegetable. Grey-shanked douc langurs eat the leaves. Description It is noted that this is a highly variable species. The taxa grows as a shrub or tree from 1 to 10m (rarely 15m) tall with a trunk that is up to 30cm in diameter. The outer bark is pale-tan to greyish, greenish-yellow and reddish in coulour, and from smooth to possessing fine vertical fissures to scaly. Leaves are alternate, though subopposite at the end of branches, smooth to slightly to completely covered in hairs, with an elliptic (sometimes more or less obovate) blade some (4-)5.5–35.5 x (1.1–)1.9–13.5(–15.9) cm in size; an acute to obtuse base, flat margin, cuspidate apex (sometimes to acuminate or even r ...

Poranthereae
Poranthereae is a tribe in the plant family Phyllanthaceae. It is one of ten tribes in the family, and one of four tribes in the subfamily Phyllanthoideae. Poranthereae comprises about 111 species, distributed into eight genera. The largest genera and the number of species in each are ''Actephila'' (31), ''Meineckia'' (30), and ''Andrachne'' (22). The tribe consists of herbs, shrubs, and small to medium trees. They have a cosmopolitan distribution, occurring on all continents, except Antarctica. The circumscription and classification of Poranthereae were substantially revised following phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences from members of the family Phyllanthaceae. Within Poranthereae, groups of related genera are strongly correlated with habitat and geographical distribution. For example, ''Notoleptopus'', ''Pseudophyllanthus'', and ''Poranthera'' are restricted to the Old World Southern Hemisphere.

Leptopus
''Leptopus'', the maidenbushes, are a genus of plants in the family Phyllanthaceae native to southern Asia from the Caucasus east to China and Maluku. The plants are monoecious herbs and shrubs with simple, entire leaves and small, green flowers. ''Leptopus'' is one of eight genera in the tribe PoranthereaePetra Hoffmann, Hashendra S. Kathriarachchi, and Kenneth J. Wurdack. 2006. "A Phylogenetic Classification of Phyllanthaceae." ''Kew Bulletin'' 61(1):37-53. and comprises 9 species. Maria S. Vorontsova and Petra Hoffmann. 2008. "A phylogenetic classification of tribe Poranthereae (Phyllanthaceae)." ''Kew Bulletin'' 63(1):41-59. It is the sister of ''Actephila''.
