Biology:Phyllomelia
From HandWiki
Phyllomelia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Rubiaceae.[1] It includes a single species, Phyllomelia coronata, a shrub or tree endemic to western Cuba.[2] It grows in thorny xeromorphic scrub on serpentine soil, on shallow rocky soils, and near watercourses. It is threatened with habitat loss from deforestation, invasive plants, and expansion of forest plantations.[3]
Both genus and species were described in 1866 by August Grisebach.[2]
