Randia (plant)
''Randia'', commonly known as indigoberry, is a mostly Neotropical genus of shrubs or small trees in the Rubiaceae. Plants of the World Online lists a total of 112 accepted species in the genus. Several Australian species have been reassigned to the genus ''Atractocarpus''. These include the garden plants ''Atractocarpus chartaceus'' and '' A. fitzalanii''.

Family (biology)
Family ( la, familia, plural ') is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". What belongs to a family—or if a described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists. There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, but in plants, they can be characterized on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species. Taxonomists often take different positions about descriptions, and there may be no broad consensus across the scientific community for some time. The publishing of new data and opini ...
