Kydia
''Kydia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae, found in the Indian subcontinent, southern China and Southeast Asia. Some sources consider it to be monotypic, with ''Kydia calycina'' the only species; certainly ''K. calycina'' is the beststudied species, as it is widely exploited, even cultivated, for timber and fiber. Species Currently accepted species include: *''Kydia calycina'' Roxb. *''Kydia glabrescens'' Mast. References {{Taxonbar, from=Q9018137 Malvaceae Malvaceae genera ...

Kydia Calycina
''Kydia calycina'' is a species of flowering plant in the genus ''Kydia'' found in the Indian subcontinent, southern China and Southeast Asia. A fastgrowing, mediumsized tree, it is widely exploited, even cultivated, for cheap timber and fiber. References {{Taxonbar, from=Q15249497 Hibisceae Plants described in 1811 ...

Roxb
William Roxburgh FRSE FRCPE FLS (3/29 June 1751 – 18 February 1815) was a Scottish surgeon and botanist who worked extensively in India, describing species and working on economic botany. He is known as the founding father of Indian botany. He published numerous works on Indian botany, illustrated by careful drawings made by Indian artists and accompanied by taxonomic descriptions of many plant species. Apart from the numerous species that he named, many species were named in his honour by his collaborators. Early life He was born on 3 June 1751 on the Underwood estate near Craigie in Ayrshire and christened on 29 June 1751 at the nearby church at Symington. His father may have worked in the Underwood estate or he may have been the illegitimate son of a well-connected family. His early education was at Underwood parish school perhaps also with some time at Symington parish school, and he probably also had private tutoring in Latin, as demonstrated by his letters and some d ...

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 ...
