Melanophylla
''Melanophylla'' is a genus of flowering plants endemic to Madagascar. The genus contains seven species of small trees and shrubs. Under the APG II system this genus was placed alone in family Melanophyllaceae, but with the rider that " me of the families are monogeneric and could possibly be merged when well-supported sister-group relationships have been established." In 2004, such a relationship was established between ''Melanophylla'', ''Aralidium'' and ''Torricellia'', resulting in the transfer of the first two of these genera into Torricelliaceae. ;Species * '' Melanophylla alnifolia'' Baker * '' Melanophylla angustior'' McPherson & Rabenantoandro * '' Melanophylla aucubifolia'' Baker * '' Melanophylla crenata'' Baker A baker is a tradesperson who bakes and sometimes sells breads and other products made of flour by using an oven or other concentrated heat source.

Torricelliaceae
The Torricelliaceae are a family of trees native to Madagascar and southwest Asia. It contains three genera, '' Aralidium'', '' Melanophylla'' and '' Torricellia''. Under the APG II system, each of these genera was placed in its own family, but with the proviso that "Some of the families are monogeneric and could possibly be merged when well-supported sister-group relationships have been established." Such a relationship was established for these three genera in 2004. In the APG III system The APG III system of flowering plant classification is the third version of a modern, mostly molecular-based, system of plant taxonomy being developed by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG).

Aralidium
''Aralidium'' is a genus in the plant family Torricelliaceae. It includes the single species ''Aralidium pinnatifidum'', a small tree or shrub distributed in southeastern Asia, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Taxonomic placement of this genus has proven difficult because it possesses characters in common with both the Araliaceae and Cornaceae. In the Cronquist system, it was placed in Cornaceae, but the APG II system The APG II system (Angiosperm Phylogeny Group II system) of plant classification is the second, now obsolete, version of a modern, mostly molecular-based, system of plant taxonomy that was published in April 2003 by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Gro ... give it its own family, Aralidiaceae, with the proviso that " me of the families are monogeneric and could possibly be merged when well-supported sister-group relationships have been established."

Endemic Flora Of Madagascar
Endemism is the state of a species being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, the Cape sugarbird is found exclusively in southwestern South Africa and is therefore said to be ''endemic'' to that particular part of the world. An endemic species can be also be referred to as an ''endemism'' or in scientific literature as an ''endemite''. For example '' Cytisus aeolicus'' is an endemite of the Italian flora. '' Adzharia renschi'' was once believed to be an endemite of the Caucasus, but it was later discovered to be a non-indigenous species from South America belonging to a different genus. The extreme opposite of an endemic species is one with a cosmopolitan distribution, having a global or widespread range. A rare alternative term for a species that is endemic is "precinctive", which applies to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
