Penaea Squamosa
''Penaea'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Penaeaceae, found in southern South Africa. They have an unusual type of embryo sac development; after two rounds of mitosis, four nuclei are formed at each pole, leading to a mature embryo sac containing four polar groups each with three cells. When found in other taxa, these embryo sacs are termed ''Penaea''-type. Species Currently accepted species include: *''Penaea acuta'' Thunb. *''Penaea acutifolia'' A.Juss. *'' Penaea candolleana'' Stephens *'' Penaea cneorum'' Meerb. *'' Penaea dahlgrenii'' Rourke *''Penaea dubia'' Stephens *''Penaea ericifolia'' (A.Juss.)
