Malvoideae
Malvoideae is a botanical name at the rank of subfamily, which includes in the minimum the genus ''Malva''. It was first used by Burnett in 1835, but was not much used until recently, where, within the framework of the APG System, which unites the families Malvaceae, Bombacaceae, Sterculiaceae and Tiliaceae of the Cronquist system, the aggregate family Malvaceae is divided into 9 subfamilies, including Malvoideae. The Malvoideae of Kubitzki and Bayer includes 4 tribes: *Malveae ('' Abutilon, Alcea, Malva, Sidalcea'' etc.) *Gossypieae (''Gossypium'', the cottons etc.) *Hibisceae (''Hibiscus'' etc.) * Kydieae *- and two unplaced genera:- **'' Jumelleanthus'' **'' Howittia'' The genus '' Alyogyne'' was once included in the genus ''Hibiscus'' but is not included there anymore. It is not placed in the Hibisceae either and some resources, such as the GRIN include it in the Gossypieae. The GRIN also excludes ''Thepparatia'' from the Gossypieae.

Malveae
Malveae is a Tribe (biology), tribe of flowering plants in the Malva, mallow Family (biology), family Malvaceae, Family (biology), subfamily Malvoideae. The tribe Circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribes approximately 70 genera and 1040 species and has the greatest species diversity out the three tribes that make up Malvoideae (followed by Hibisceae and then Gossypieae). The flowers of Malveae are five-Merosity, merous with a characteristic Stamen, staminal column, a trait found throughout Malvoideae. Although there are not many economically important species within Malveae, the tribe includes ''Althaea officinalis'', otherwise known as the marsh-mallow. The fruits of Malveae are generally schizocarpic, although some are functionally Capsule (fruit), capsular. The tribe generally includes herbaceous plants, although ''Robinsonella'' are trees. The tribe is a well supported Monophyly, monophyletic group, supported by chloroplast and ribosomal DNA. Within Malvoideae, Malveae forms a ...

Lagunaria
''Lagunaria'' is a genus in the family Malvaceae. It is an Australian plant which is native to Lord Howe Island, Norfolk Island and parts of coastal Queensland. It has been introduced to many parts of the world. The genus was named for its resemblance to the earlier genus ''Laguna'' Cav., which was named in honour of Andrés Laguna, a Spanish botanist and a physician to Pope Julius III. , Plants of the World Online accepts two species: *'' Lagunaria patersonia'' (Andrews) G.Don *''Lagunaria queenslandica'' Craven Description General The tree can grow to be 10 - 15 metres tall, and one and a half metres in diameter. It is considered to be hardwood. Vegetative Trunk The trunk is straight and made of a soft, fibrous timber. Leaves The leaves are evergreen, though they change with age.

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 okra, cotton, cacao and durian. There are also some genera containing familiar ornamentals, such as ''Alcea'' (hollyhock), ''Malva'' (mallow), and ''Tilia'' (lime or linden tree). The largest genera in terms of number of species include ''Hibiscus'' (300 species), ''Sterculia'' (250 species), ''Dombeya'' (250 species), '' Pavonia'' (200 species) and '' Sida'' (200 species). Taxonomy and nomenclature The circumscription of the Malvaceae is controversial. The traditional Malvaceae '' sensu stricto'' comprise a very homogeneous and cladistically monophyletic group. Another major circumscription, Malvaceae ''sensu lato'', has been more recently defined on the basis that genetics studies have shown the commonly recognised families Bombacaceae, Tiliaceae, and Sterculiaceae, which have always been considered closely allie ...

Gossypieae
Gossypieae is a tribe of the flowering plant subfamily Malvoideae. It includes the cotton (''Gossypium'') and related plants. It is distinguished from the Hibisceae on the basis of embryo structure and its apparently unique possession of glands able to synthesize the pigment gossypol. Genera The following genera are recognised. The Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN) differs in additionally including the genus '' Alyogyne'' and excluding the genus ''Thepparatia''. * '' Cephalohibiscus'' Ulbr. * '' Cienfuegosia'' Cav. * '' Gossypioides'' Skovst. ex J.B.Hutch. * ''Gossypium'' L. * ''Hampea'' Schltdl. * '' Kokia'' Lewton * ''Lebronnecia'' Fosberg * ''Thepparatia'' Phuph. * ''Thespesia ''Thespesia'' is a genus of 13 flowering shrubs and trees in the ''Hibiscus'' family, Malvaceae, although within the family they are more closely related to cotton plants (''Gossypium'').

Alyogyne
''Alyogyne'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae which are endemic to Australia. Its species were formerly in the genus ''Hibiscus'' but were split off starting in 1863 with ''H. hakaeifolius''. In 1915 Lewton transferred ''H. cuneiformis'' and in Fryxell (1968) ''H. pinonianus'' and ''H. huegelii'' followed. A recent revision has created many new species. The name ''Alyogyne'' comes from the Greek words "alytos" (undivided) and "gyne" (female). "Gyne" referers to the styles which are female parts of a flower. In ''Hibiscus'', the style is branched below the stigmas but in ''Alyogyne'' it is undivided. Species include: *''Alyogyne cravenii'' *''Alyogyne cuneiformis'' (coastal hibiscus) *''Alyogyne hakeifolia'' *''Alyogyne huegelii'' (lilac hibiscus) *''Alyogyne pinoniana ''Alyogyne'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae which are endemic to Australia.
