Euterpeae is a tribe of Neotropical plants in the family Arecaceae. Genera in the tribe are: Hyospathe – northern South America Euterpe – South America, Central America Prestoea – northern South America, Caribbean Neonicholsonia – Central America Oenocarpus – South America

Veitchia subdisticha is a genus of plants. It was first described Harold Emery Moore. It was given its scientific name by C. Lewis and Scott Zona. Veitchia subdisticha belongs to the genus Veitchia and the family Arecaceae. It is found only in Solomon Islands. It is threatened by habitat loss.

Veitchia pachyclada is a plant species in the palm family. It is found only in Solomon Islands. It is threatened by habitat loss.

Rhapidinae is a subtribe of plants in the family Arecaceae found in Southeast Asia and the Mediterranean. Genera in the subtribe are: Chamaerops – Mediterranean Guihaia – Vietnam and China Trachycarpus – southern China, northern Indochina, Himalayas

Cryosophileae is a tribe of palms in the subfamily Coryphoideae. The tribe ranges from southern South America, through Central America, into Mexico and the Caribbean. It includes New World genera formerly included in the tribe Thrinacinae, which was split after molecular phylogenetic studies showed that Old World and New World members of the tribe were not closely related.

Carpoxylinae is a subtribe of plants in the family Arecaceae. Genera: Carpoxylon Neoveitchia Satakentia

Basseliniinae is a subtribe of plants in the family Arecaceae. Genera: Basselinia Burretiokentia Cyphophoenix Cyphosperma Lepidorrhachis Physokentia

Verschaffeltiinae is a subtribe of plants in the family Arecaceae endemic to the Seychelles. Genera in the subtribe, all of which are monotypic, are: Nephrosperma Phoenicophorium Roscheria Verschaffeltia

Rhopalostylidinae is a botanical subtribe consisting of two genera of palms from Australia and New Zealand, Hedyscepe and Rhopalostylis. These two genera were formerly included in Archontophoenicinae, to which they are morphologically similar (Dowe 2010:233), until a recent revision (Dransfield, Uhl et al., 2005).

Pelagodoxeae is a tribe of plants in the family Arecaceae found in Oceania, namely in New Guinea and the Marquesas Islands. The tribe has two monotypic genera, which are: Pelagodoxa – Marquesas Islands Sommieria – NW New Guinea

Leucothrinax morrisii, the Key thatch palm, is a small palm which is native to the Greater Antilles (except Jamaica), northern Lesser Antilles, The Bahamas and Florida and the Florida Keys in the United States. Until 2008 it was known as Thrinax morrisii. It was split from the genus Thrinax after phylogenetic studies showed that its inclusion in Thrinax would render that genus paraphyletic. The generic name combines leuco (in reference to the whitish colour of its flowering stalks and the undersides of its leaves) with thrinax.

Clinospermatinae is a subtribe of plants in the family Arecaceae. Genera: Cyphokentia Clinosperma

Chuniophoeniceae is a tribe of palms in subfamily Coryphoideae of plant family Arecaceae. The four genera within the tribe are morphologically dissimilar and do not have overlapping distributions. Three of the genera are monotypic, while the fourth genus (Chuniophoenix) has three species.

Veitchia lepidota is a plant species endemic to the Solomon Islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Ponapea hentyi is a species of palm tree. It is endemic to New Britain in the Bismarck Archipelago of Papua New Guinea. It is threatened by habitat loss. The species was first described as Ptychosperma hentyi by Frederick Burt Essig in 1987. The Latin specific epithet of hentyi refers to plant collector and botanist E.E. Henty, (fl. 1969). In 2011 Carl E. Lewis and Scott Zona placed the species in genus Ponapea as P. hentyi.

Manicaria (Common names Monkey Cap Palm or Bussu) is a palm genus which is found in Trinidad, Central and South America. It contains two accepted species: Manicaria martiana Burret – Colombia, northwestern Brazil Manicaria saccifera Gaertn. – Central America, Trinidad, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, northwestern Brazil It has one of the largest known leaves in the plant kingdom, up to 8 metres (26 ft) long. The very largest leaves can be 10.3 m (34 ft) total length, with 9 m (30 ft) being the blade or lamina and a stalk or petiole 1.3 m (4 ft 3 in) long. The blade is up to 2.3 m (7 ft 7
