Biology:Monophyllaea

From HandWiki

Monophyllaea is a genus of plants in the family Gesneriaceae.[1]

The name comes from a comibnation of Ancient Greek μόνος (solitary, alone) and φύλλον (leaf); this is because all of the species only have one leaf.[2]

Streptocarpus eylsii, a plant from a different genus that also possesses the characteristic trait of having only one leaf.

It is not the only plant genus with species possessing one leaf; a few species from Streptocarpus have this trait too.
