The Quiinoideae are a subfamily in the plant family of the Ochnaceae within the order of the Malpighia-like (Malpighiales). The four genera with about 50 to 55 kinds are restricted to the Neotropis .
description
They are evergreen, woody plants: trees , bushes or lianas . The opposite or whorled leaves are stalked. Often times the leaves are simple; in some species they are compound or deeply lobed. The large stipules are hairy.
The mostly multi-flowered inflorescences are often racemose . The small, hermaphroditic or unisexual flowers are radial symmetry to slightly zygomorphic and four or five-fold. The four to five sepals are hairy. There are numerous stamens . Two to eleven (rarely up to 13) carpels can be fused or free. There are fruit capsules , follicles or berries formed. The fruits contain only one to four seeds each.
Systematics
According to APG III, the species of the former families of the Medusagynaceae and Quiinaceae Choisy ex Engl. Belong to the family of the Ochnaceae s. l.
In the subfamily Quiinoideae there are four genera with about 50 to 55 species:
- Froesia Pires : This basal genus has hermaphrodite flowers. It includes about five types.
- Lacunaria Ducke : They are dioeciously separated sexes ( diocesan ). It includes about twelve species.
- Quiina Aubl. : You are Androdiozian . It includes about 25 species.
- Touroulia Aubl. : You are Androdiozian. It includes about four types.
