Securinega Durissima
''Securinega'' is a genus of plants in the family Phyllanthaceae, first described as a genus in 1789. As presently conceived, the genus is native to Madagascar and the Mascarene Islands in the Indian Ocean. In the past, it was considered to be much more widespread, thus explaining the long list of species formerly included. It is dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate plants. ;Species # '' Securinega antsingyensis'' Leandri - W Madagascar # '' Securinega capuronii'' Leandri - W Madagascar # ''Securinega durissima'' J.F.Gmel. - Madagascar, Mauritius, Réunion, Rodrigues Island # '' Securinega perrieri'' Leandri - W Madagascar # '' Securinega seyrigii'' Leandri - W Madagascar ;Formerly included moved to other genera ''(Actephila Andrachne Chascotheca Cleistanthus Flueggea Jablonskia Margaritaria Meineckia Neoroepera ''Neoroepera'' is a genus of plants in the Picrodendraceae first described as a genus in 1866.

Family (biology)
Family ( la, familia, plural ') is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". What belongs to a family—or if a described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists. There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, but in plants, they can be characterized on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species. Taxonomists often take different positions about descriptions, and there may be no broad consensus across the scientific community for some time. The publishing of new data and opini ...

Cleistanthus
''Cleistanthus'' is a plant genus of the family Phyllanthaceae Phyllanthaceae is a family of flowering plants in the eudicot order Malpighiales.

Savia Dictyocarpa
''Savia dictyocarpa'' is plant belonging to the family Phyllanthaceae, native to Brazil. ''Kleinodendron'' The genus ''Kleinodendron'' was proposed in 1964 to contain a single species of woody plant, ''K. riosulense'', from Santa Catarina, Brazil. In 1982, however, botanist Grady Webster noted the similarity of those plants to ''S. dictyocarpa'' plants from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, and considered all three populations to be part of ''S. dictyocarpa''. This conclusion has been accepted by subsequent authors. ''Savia'' has since been moved from the family Euphorbiaceae to the family Phyllanthaceae Phyllanthaceae is a family of flowering plants in the eudicot order Malpighiales.

Margaritaria Discoidea
''Margaritaria discoidea'' is a tree in the family Phyllanthaceae, commonly known as the pheasant-berry, egossa red pear or bushveld peacock-berry. These trees are native to the warmer, higher rainfall areas of Africa.

These trees were formerly placed in the genus ''Phyllanthus'' and in the family Euphorbiaceae. 4 varieties are now recognized (1981), these having in the past been treated variously as distinct species, subspecies or synonymous with typical ''M. discoidea''. In KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, there are 3 varieties: * ''M. discoidea'' var. ''discoidea'' * ''M. discoidea'' var. ''fagifolia'' * ''M. discoidea'' var.
