Ixoroideae

Flame of the woods Ixora coccinea, from here.


Belongs within: Rubiaceae.
Contains: Gardenieae.

The Ixoroideae as recognised herein represent a clade supported by molecular analyses but for which morphological synapomorphies have not yet been identified. A more restricted subclade, containing the genera Ixora and Gardenia, is characterised by contorted aestivation and a stylar pollen presentation (Bremer et al. 1999). Members include the genus Coffea, shrubs and small trees native to tropical regions of Africa and Asia, of which some species are cultivated for their seeds which are used to make coffee.
