Coussareeae Explained

Coussareeae are a Neotropical clade of morphologically heterogeneous plants in the subfamily Rubioideae of the coffeefamily (Rubiaceae). The tribe encompasses about 330 species assigned to ten genera: Bradea, Coccocypselum, Coussarea,Cruckshanksia, Declieuxia, Faramea, Heterophyllaea, Hindsia, Oreopolus, and Standleya. Historically, the genera of Coussareeae have rarely been considered closely related, and the widely defined Coussareeae were delimited based on molecularsystematics without proposed morphological synapomorphies.
