Taxon Profile     (Last Modified On 8/24/2023)
Fl. Madagasc.: Vol. 129 Malvaceae (1955) View in Botanicus
APG website treatment: Malvaceae
Notes: Including genera formerly separated as: Bombacaceae, Sterculiaceae & Tiliaceae. Material of the genus Abroma Jacquin (Malvaceae: Byttnerioideae) has been collected in Madagascar at Ivoloina and the Botanic Garden at Analamazaotra, although not stated it is assumed to be cultivated and there is no indication that it had become naturalized at either site. The material has been identified as A. denticulata Miq. (from Sumatra), but this species is generally treated as a synonym of A. augusta (L.) L.f.

Summary and Status Directory     (Last Modified On 8/24/2023)
Subordinate Taxon Data:

The data in this table are derived from the corresponding Genus and Species pages. The table provides a summary of the treatment presented in the published parts of the Flore de Madagascar et des Comores, together with a summary of the data presented here in the Madagascar Catalogue, which includes information on the number of species currently accepted, and an estimate of the number of undescribed species for the genera for which a recent taxonomic evaluation has been conducted. The number of accepted species is added to the estimate of undescribed species to provide an estimated total. Place cursor over headers marked [+] for further explanation of the column contents.

Work to capture recently published major changes in generic circumscription is in progress (Dorr & Wurdack. 2021 [2020]. Indo-Asian Eriolaena expanded to include two Malagasy genera, and other generic realignments based on molecular phylogenetics of Dombeyoideae (Malvaceae). Taxon 70(1): 99–126.
