Flowering Plant
Flowering plants are plants that bear flowers and fruits, and form the clade Angiospermae (), commonly called angiosperms. The term "angiosperm" is derived from the Greek words ('container, vessel') and ('seed'), and refers to those plants that produce their seeds enclosed within a fruit. They are by far the most diverse group of land plants with 64 orders, 416 families, approximately 13,000 known genera and 300,000 known species. Angiosperms were formerly called Magnoliophyta (). Like gymnosperms, angiosperms are seed-producing plants. They are distinguished from gymnosperms by characteristics including flowers, endosperm within their seeds, and the production of fruits that contain the seeds. The ancestors of flowering plants diverged from the common ancestor of all living gymnosperms before the end of the Carboniferous, over 300 million years ago. The closest fossil relatives of flowering plants are uncertain and contentious. The earliest angiosperm fossils ar ...

Detarioideae
The subfamily Detarioideae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae (legumes). This subfamily includes many tropical trees, some of which are used for timber or have ecological importance. The subfamily consists of 84 genera, most of which are native to Africa and Asia. Pride of Burma (''Amherstia nobilis'') and tamarind (''Tamarindus indica'') are two of the most notable species in Detarioideae. It has the following clade-based definition: The most inclusive crown clade containing '' Goniorrhachis marginata'' Taub. and '' Aphanocalyx cynometroides'' Oliv., but not ''Cercis canadensis'' L., '' Duparquetia orchidacea'' Baill., or '' Bobgunnia fistuloides'' (Harms) J. H. Kirkbr. & Wiersema. Taxonomy Detarioideae comprises the following tribes and genera: Schotieae * ''Schotia'' Jacq. Barnebydendreae * '' Barnebydendron'' J.H.Kirkbr. * '' Goniorrhachis'' Taub. Detarieae * '' Augouardia'' Pellegr. * '' Baikiaea'' Benth. * '' Brandzeia'' Baill. * '' Colophospermu ...

Leonardoxa Africana
''Leonardoxa africana'' is a tropical tree endemic to west Central Africa and Southeastern Nigeria. It is divided into four sub-species, of which three are myrmecophytes. Subspecies * ''Leonardoxa africana'' subsp. ''africana'' * ''Leonardoxa africana'' subsp. ''gracilicaulis'' McKey * ''Leonardoxa africana'' subsp. ''letouzeyi'' McKey * ''Leonardoxa africana'' subsp. ''rumpiensis'' McKey Description The species grows to a height of between 4-14m tall, its diameter can reach a width of 45 cm but commonly less than 40 cm. Leaves have a pinnately compound arrangement, with 2-4 pairs of leaflets per pinnae but commonly 3 pairs per pinnae; leaflets have a falcate to elliptic shape. Inflorescence is raceme type, 40-60 flowered, position is commonly cauliflorous or ramiflorous, borne on main trunks or twigs but occasionally axillary on young twigs. Pedicel is 2-4 mm long, Calyx is green or red, sepals 0.5-0.8 cm long, petals are commonly violet, pink, mauve, or purple colored. ...
