Introduction

Phaulopsis is predominantly an African genus with a center of diversity in southern Zaire. Most species occur within 10 degrees of the northern and southern parallels. Manktelow (1996) treated 22 species (plus a few intraspecific names) in her monograph of the genus. Species are mostly insect pollinated or autogamous. Some have medicinal, cultural, or nutritional uses.

This page is a Tree of Life Branch Page.

Each ToL branch page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a branch of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a branch and a leaf of the Tree of Life is that each branch can be further subdivided into descendent branches, that is, subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
