The family has three genera and about 360 species and is a member of the order Ericales. (wikipedia.org)
Before genetic evidence appeared in the last 10 years, the placement of the Actinidiaceae within the Ericales was highly controversial. (wikipedia.org)
Placement of the Actinidiaceae within the Ericales has been strongly supported recently by genetic evidence, and contrary to previous thought, it is not a basal member of the Ericales. (wikipedia.org)
The Actinidiaceae family is part of the larger order Ericales, which includes other economically important plant families such as the Ericaceae (blueberries, cranberries), Primulaceae (primroses), and Theaceae (tea). (ayurvedicfranchisehelp.org)
Actinidia8
They are temperate and subtropical woody vines, shrubs, and trees, native to Asia (Actinidia or kiwifruit, Clematoclethra, and Saurauia) and Central America and South America (Saurauia only). (wikipedia.org)
The fruit is usually a berry, such as the edible kiwifruit, a cultivar from the genus Actinidia. (wikipedia.org)
Furthermore, biological characteristics of the cells, and molecular evidence have confirmed the three genera currently circumscribed in the Actinidiaceae, Clematoclethra, Saurauia, and Actinidia, do indeed form a monophyletic group. (wikipedia.org)
Kiwi, scientifically known as Actinidia deliciosa , is a fruit native to China but is now cultivated in various countries. (projectpackalunch.com)
While they may differ in their physical characteristics, all of these species are part of the same Actinidia genus. (ayurvedicfranchisehelp.org)
Actinidia is the genus for kiwi, the fuzzy kiwi that we all know so well is A. deliciosa, but unknown to most are A. arguta and A. kolomkita, two kiwi species that are reportedly hardy to -25F. (atomiclaboratories.com)

We have no more information on the wood of this species, but the following is a general description of the wood from species in this genus. (theferns.info)
Ebony is a dense black wood taken from several species in the genus Diospyros , including Diospyros ebenum (Ceylon ebony, Indian ebony), Diospyros crassiflora (West African ebony, Benin ebony), and Diospyros celebica (Makassar ebony). (wikipedia.org)
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: The genus Crataegus (hawthorn), a member of the Rosaceae family, encompasses several species with broad geographical distribution across the Northern Hemisphere, including Asia, Europe, and the Americas. (bvsalud.org)
[2] The family is divided into four genera , which together comprise 28 known species (Christenhusz & Byng 2016 [3] ). (wikimili.com)
It contains approximately 85 species in two genera, Alangium and Cornus . (wikimili.com)
Dioscoreaceae is a family of monocotyledonous flowering plants, with about 715 known species in nine genera. (wikimili.com)
Burmanniaceae is a family of flowering plants, consisting of 99 species of herbaceous plants in eight genera. (wikimili.com)

Heliconia is a genus of about 200 species known for its quintessentially tropical inflorescences and large, exotic green leaves . (canarius.com)
Both species are well distinguished from the previously described species of the genus Chironephthya by their colonies consisting of multiple stems that stand upright from a common base, and by a significantly thinner canal wall without large spindles. (blogspot.com)
The discrepancy in the morphology suggested the erection of a new genus to accommodate these species, however, as the subclade was included in a large mixed clade of Siphonogorgia and Chironephthya , we place these species within genus Chironephthya . (blogspot.com)
Because the name Ebenaceae had become well known, having been used in major botanical references such as Bentham and Hooker's Genera Plantarum , Engler and Prantl's Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien , and Hutchinson's Families of Flowering Plants , it was conserved [8] and is therefore legitimate. (wikipedia.org)
Plantarum1
The name is based on the genus Polygonum , and was first used by Antoine Laurent de Jussieu in 1789 in his book, Genera Plantarum . (wikimili.com)
Clade1
Multiple studies using genetic evidence now firmly place the Actinidiaceae in the Ericoid clade, a monophyletic group consisting of the Ericaceae, the Cyrillaceae, the Clethraceae, the Sarraceniaceae, and the Roridulaceae. (wikipedia.org)
Herbaceous plants2
They are small, herbaceous plants , mostly of arctic and subarctic regions, but a few extend further south, and one genus is endemic to northern South America and Florida . (wikimili.com)
Bromeliaceae is a large family of herbaceous plants native to the Americas. (canarius.com)

North America1
The now extinct genus Parasaurauia is thought to have belonged to the Actinidiaceae and lived in North America during the early Campanian. (wikipedia.org)
Phylogenetic analysis1
[12] A phylogenetic analysis, based on two nuclear genes and ten chloroplast genes, has confirmed that all five of the genera are monophyletic and that Triantha and Tofieldia are close sister taxa . (wikimili.com)
Monophyletic1
Further genetic evidence points to the Actinidiaceae being sister to the Roridulaceae, with the Roridulaceae and Sarraceniaceae, forming another, smaller, monophyletic group. (wikipedia.org)
Our results further highlight the continuing confusion between Siphonogorgia and Chironephthya , and demonstrate the need for taxonomic revision of these genera. (blogspot.com)
Evergreen1
Some genera are not evergreen and rest for months (mostly in winter) as underground corms. (canarius.com)
Smaller genera Monstera , Rhaphidophora and Thaumatophyllum are similar in cultivation. (canarius.com)
Controversial2
What genera were to be placed in the Actinidiaceae before recent genetic and micromorphological studies emerged was highly controversial. (wikipedia.org)
The circumscription of genera in Tofieldiaceae has been controversial. (wikimili.com)
Ecosystems1
They are important and conspicuous trees in many of their native ecosystems , such as lowland dry forests of the former Maui Nui in Hawaii , [5] Caspian Hyrcanian mixed forests , Khathiar-Gir dry deciduous forests , Louisiade Archipelago rain forests , Madagascar lowland forests , Narmada Valley dry deciduous forests , New Guinea mangroves , and South Western Ghats montane rain forests .

Tropical1

Includes1
Circumscribed in this way, the family includes up to 17 genera. (wikimili.com)
Family Name1
The family name Ebenaceae is based on the genus name Ebenus , published by Otto Kuntze in 1891. (wikipedia.org)
Members1
Except for members of the genus Clematoclethra which have 10 stamens, the stamens are numerous and originally attached at the back. (wikipedia.org)
Originating in Japan, but also native to Korea and China, the self-fertile Japanese Wineberry is a very handsome plant that has something to offer throughout the year. (plant-world-seeds.com)
The plant that Kuntze had named Ebenus was accordingly reassigned to the genus Maba , which in turn has since been included in the genus Diospyros . (wikipedia.org)
Flowers1
Honeysuckle, a native to Asia, according to the University of Washington can be a beautiful addition to a fence because it adds up to the colors of the landscaping because of its flowers and shiny red berries from mid-summer to autumn. (plantophiles.com)
China1
Kiwi is native to the Yangtze River valley in China, where it grows in forest understory habitats. (ayurvedicfranchisehelp.org)
