Coleanthera is a plant genus in the family Ericaceae.[2] The genus is endemic to Western Australia,[1] and is currently accepted (1 January 2021) by Plants of the World online,[1] and the Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria,[2] but not by the Western Australian Herbarium, where it has been subsumed into the genus, Styphelia,[3] for the phylogenetic reasons given by Darren M. Crayn, Michael Hislop and Caroline Puente-Lelièvre.[4]
It was first described in 1859 by Sergei Sergeyevich Sheglejev,[2][5] and the type species is Coleanthera myrtoides.[6]
Description
The fruit is a 5-celled drupe.[7] The flowers are hermaphroditic and are fertilised by either insects or birds.[7] The calyces of plants in this genus have five sepals and there are five petals.[7]
Species
There are three accepted species in the genus:[1]
- Coleanthera coelophylla (A.Cunn. ex DC.) Benth.
- Coleanthera myrtoides Stschegl.
- Coleanthera virgata Stschegl.
