Pleurothallidinae Genera
The Pleurothallidinae are a neotropical subtribe of plants of the orchid family (Orchidaceae) including 29 genera in more than 4000 species. Naturally occurring species of this subtribe are among the more popular orchids of horticulturalists, especially the genera ''Dracula'', ''Dryadella'', ''Masdevallia'' and ''Restrepia''. The following genus, genera are considered monophyletic : ''Barbosella'' (including ''Barbrodia''), ''Dracula (plant), Dracula'', ''Dresslerella'', ''Dryadella'', ''Lepanthes'', ''Masdevallia'', ''Platystele'', ''Porroglossum'', ''Restrepia'', ''Scaphosepalum'', ''Trisetella'', and ''Zootrophion''. Many genera in the Pleurothallidinae were found polyphyletic, for example species attributed to the genus ''Pleurothallis ''are scattered across five clades. Genera Genera recognized in Chase et al.'s 2015 classification of orchids: ''Acianthera'' – ''Anathallis'' – ''Andinia (plant), Andinia'' – ''Barbosella'' – ''Brachionidium'' – ''Chamelophyton' ...

Plant
Plants are the eukaryotes that form the Kingdom (biology), kingdom Plantae; they are predominantly Photosynthesis, photosynthetic. This means that they obtain their energy from sunlight, using chloroplasts derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria to produce sugars from carbon dioxide and water, using the green pigment chlorophyll. Exceptions are parasitic plants that have lost the genes for chlorophyll and photosynthesis, and obtain their energy from other plants or fungi. Most plants are multicellular organism, multicellular, except for some green algae. Historically, as in Aristotle's biology, the plant kingdom encompassed all living things that were not animals, and included algae and fungi. Definitions have narrowed since then; current definitions exclude fungi and some of the algae. By the definition used in this article, plants form the clade Viridiplantae (green plants), which consists of the green algae and the embryophytes or land plants (hornworts, liverworts ...

Polyphyletic
A polyphyletic group is an assemblage that includes organisms with mixed evolutionary origin but does not include their most recent common ancestor. The term is often applied to groups that share similar features known as Homoplasy, homoplasies, which are explained as a result of convergent evolution. The arrangement of the members of a polyphyletic group is called a polyphyly .. [Source for pronunciation.] It is contrasted with monophyly and paraphyly. For example, the biological characteristic of warm-bloodedness evolved separately in the ancestors of mammals and the ancestors of birds; "warm-blooded animals" is therefore a polyphyletic grouping. Other examples of polyphyletic groups are algae, C4 photosynthesis, C4 photosynthetic plants, and Xenarthra#Evolutionary relationships, edentates. Many taxonomists aim to avoid homoplasies in grouping taxa together, with a goal to identify and eliminate groups that are found to be polyphyletic. This is often the stimulus for major re ...
