Eumalvoideae

Monarch rosemallow Hibiscus radiatus, copyright Prenn.

Belongs within: Malvoideae.
Contains: Malveae, Gossypium.

The Eumalvoideae are a clade of flowering plants corresponding to the 'Malvaceae' in the strict sense, excluding taxa previously classified in the Bombacaceae, Sterculiaceae or Tiliaceae. The name was used by Baum et al. (2004) to refer to the smallest clade including the type species of the tribes Malveae, Gossypieae and Hibisceae. Members include Hibiscus, a widespread genus of plants bearing solitary, often showy flowers giving rise to capsular fruits, of which several species are widely cultivated as ornamentals. The Gossypieae are distinguished by the presence of glands producing gossypol, a compound toxic to herbivores. The portia tree Thespesia populnea is common in coastal regions of the Old World tropics and is used as a source of decorative wood.
