Old fruit and seed of G. tenuispina

Gymnosporia is an Old World genus of plants, that comprise suffrutices, shrubs and trees.[1] It was formerly considered congeneric with Maytenus, but more recent investigations separated it based on the presence of achyblasts (truncated branchlets) and spines, alternate leaves or fascicles of leaves, an inflorescence that forms a dichasium, mostly unisexual flowers, and fruit forming a dehiscent capsule, with an aril on the seed.[1] It is dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate plants.[2]

Range

The genus occurs in all of Africa, Madagascar and adjacent islands, southern Spain , the Middle East, Afghanistan, Pakistan , India , Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, southern China , Taiwan, the Ryukyu Islands, Malesia, Micronesia, and in Queensland, Australia.[1] In the Afrotropical realm the two main centers of diversity are in the south and the northeast.
