Bauhinia Blakeana
''Bauhinia'' () is a large genus of flowering plants in the subfamily Cercidoideae and tribe Bauhinieae, in the large flowering plant family Fabaceae, with a pantropical distribution. The genus was named after the Bauhin brothers Gaspard and Johann, Swiss- French botanists. Many species are widely planted in the tropics as orchid trees, particularly in India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Nepal and southeastern China. Other common names include mountain ebony and ''kachnar''. Before the family was reorganised, a number of genera including the lianas ''Lasiobema'' and ''Phanera'' were placed here (see related genera). In the United States, the trees grow in Hawaii, coastal California, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. There are native species, like ''Bauhinia lunarioides'' native to Texas and widely planted in the Southwest as a landscape plant. ''Bauhinia'' × ''blakeana'' is the floral emblem of Hong Kong—a stylized orchid tree flower appears on the flag of Hong Kong and Ho ...

Phanera
''Phanera'' is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Cercidoideae. This genus differs from ''Bauhinia'' in being vines or lianas, generally with tendrils and a lobed rather than spathaceous calyx, and from '' Schnella'' in having only three fertile stamens rather than ten, and being native to the Indomalayan realm and the Australasian realm rather than the Americas. The subsection ''Corymbosae'' was recently segregated into a new genus, ''Cheniella''. It has been suggested that the genus ''Lasiobema'' should be reduced to a section within ''Phanera''. Species ''Phanera'' comprises the following species: # ''Phanera aherniana'' (Perkins) de Wit ## var. ''aherniana'' (Perkins) de Wit ## var. ''subglabra'' (Merr.) Bandyop., P.P. Goshal & M.K.
