List Of Arecaceae Genera
This is a list of all the genus, genera in the botanical family Arecaceae, the palm family, based on Baker & Dransfield (2016), which is a revised listing of genera given in the 2008 edition of ''Genera Palmarum''. Taxonomy This is a list of all the genus, genera in the botanical family Arecaceae, the palm family, arranged by tribe (biology), tribes and subtribes within the family. ''Genera Palmarum'' (2008) lists 183 genera. ''Lanonia'', ''Saribus'', and the monotypic genera ''Jailoloa'', ''Wallaceodoxa'', ''Manjekia'', and ''Sabinaria'', which were described after 2008, have also been included below. ''Ceratolobus'', ''Daemonorops'', ''Pogonotium'', ''Wallichia'', ''Lytocaryum'', and the monotypic genera ''Retispatha'', ''Pritchardiopsis'', and ''Solfia'' have since been removed from ''Genera Palmarum'' (2008) as obsolete genera. This brings the total number of genera to 181 as of 2016. Subfamily Calamoideae *Tribe Eugeissoneae **''Eugeissona'' – Borneo, Malay Peninsula *Tr ...

Subtribe
Subtribe is a taxonomic category ranking which is below the rank of tribe and above genus. The standard suffix for a subtribe is -ina (in animals) or -inae (in plants Plants are predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. Historically, the plant kingdom encompassed all living things that were not animals, and included algae and fungi; however, all current definitions of Plantae exclude ...). The early use of this word is from 19th century. An example of subtribe is Hyptidinae that contains approximately 400 accepted species distributed in 19 genera.

Arecaceae
The Arecaceae is a family of perennial flowering plants in the monocot order Arecales. Their growth form can be climbers, shrubs, tree-like and stemless plants, all commonly known as palms. Those having a tree-like form are called palm trees. Currently, 181 genera with around 2,600 species are known, most of which are restricted to tropical and subtropical climates. Most palms are distinguished by their large, compound, evergreen leaves, known as fronds, arranged at the top of an unbranched stem. However, palms exhibit an enormous diversity in physical characteristics and inhabit nearly every type of habitat within their range, from rainforests to deserts. Palms are among the best known and most extensively cultivated plant families. They have been important to humans throughout much of history. Many common products and foods are derived from palms. In contemporary times, palms are also widely used in landscaping. In many historical cultures, because of their importance as ...

Bismarckia
''Bismarckia'' is a monotypic genus of flowering plant in the palm family endemic to western and northern Madagascar where they grow in open grassland. The genus is named for the first chancellor of the German Empire Otto von Bismarck and the epithet for its only species, ''Bismarckia nobilis'', comes from Latin for 'noble'.Riffle, Robert L. and Craft, Paul (2003) ''An Encyclopedia of Cultivated Palms''. Portland: Timber Press. / (Page 274) Description ''Bismarckia nobilis'' grows from solitary trunks, gray to tan in color, which show ringed indentations from old leaf bases. Trunks are 30 to 45 cm in diameter, slightly bulging at the base, and free of leaf bases in all but its youngest parts. In their natural habitat they can reach above 25 meters in height but usually get no taller than 12 m in cultivation. The nearly rounded leaves are enormous in maturity, over 3 m wide, and are divided to a third its length into 20 or more stiff, once-folded segments, themselves sp ...

Satranala
''Satranala decussilvae'' is a species of flowering plant in the Arecaceae family. It is a palm endemic to Madagascar. It is the only species in the genus ''Satranala'', and is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby .... There are perhaps 200 mature individuals remaining.

Hyphaene
''Hyphaene'' is a genus of Arecaceae, palms native to Africa, Madagascar, the Middle East, and the Indian subcontinent.Govaerts, R. & Dransfield, J. (2005). World Checklist of Palms: 1-223. The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The genus includes the Hyphaene thebaica, Doum palm (''H. thebaica''). They are unusual among palms in having regular naturally branched trunks; most other palms are single-stemmed from the ground. In Swahili, it is called ‘’koma’’. * ''Hyphaene compressa'' H.Wendl. - eastern Africa from Ethiopia to Mozambique * ''Hyphaene coriacea'' Gaertn. - eastern Africa from South Africa; Madagascar; Juan de Nova Island * ''Hyphaene dichotoma'' (J.White Dubl. ex Nimmo) Furtado - India, Sri Lanka * ''Hyphaene guineensis'' Schumach. & Thonn. - western and central Africa from Liberia to Angola * ''Hyphaene macrosperma'' H.Wendl. - Benin * ''Hyphaene petersiana'' Klotzsch ex Mart. - southern and eastern Africa from South Africa to Tanzania * ''H ...

Medemia
''Medemia argun'' is a rare species of the palm tree family (Arecaceae) native to Egypt and Sudan. It is the only species in the genus ''Medemia''. The palm's dried dates have been found in ancient Egyptian tombs. Description ''Medemia argun'' is a robust, solitary-stemmed, dioecious palm up to tall with fan leaves forming a dense rounded crown. It grows in extreme desert conditions. It is typically found in dry river beds in which ground water is likely to occur. Distribution ''Medemia argun'' is found only in oases inside of the Nubian Desert, in southern Egypt and northern Sudan. The global population is divided in several sub-populations, with the most important (>90%) part of the population occurring in northern Sudan. The global population of ''Medemia argun'' was estimated at about 7,400 individuals in the middle of the 2000s. In Egypt, only 32 individuals were counted at Dungul Oases in 2007 (Ibrahim and Baker 2009). Its area of occupancy is restricted to 880 km². Con ...
