Sclerosperma G.Mann & H.Wendl. 1864
plant genus in the arecaceae family
Sclerosperma is a monoecious genus of flowering plant in the palm family found in Africa where three species are known. Having no obvious relatives, it does resemble the Madagascar native Marojejya though a detailed study of Madagascar's palms is required to determine if any true relationship exists. The lack of relatives, and its interesting qualities, indicate, at one time, the existence of a diverse African palm flora. The name is from two Greek words meaning "hard" and "seed".
Podococcus G.Mann & H.Wendl. 1864
plant genus in the arecaceae family
Podococcus is a genus of palms found in tropical Africa. It includes two recognized species: Podococcus acaulis Hua - Gabon, Congo-Brazzaville Podococcus barteri G. Mann & H. Wendl. - Gabon, Congo-Brazzaville, Nigeria, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Cabinda, Zaire
Raphia hookeri (Wine Palm) G.Mann & H.Wendl. 1864
plant species in the arecaceae family
Raphia hookeri is a palm species in the family Arecaceae or Palmae. It is found in Western and Central Africa, where it is locally used to make palm wine. It is best noted for its very long leaflets which in the subspecies R. h. gigantea, of Ghana and Ivory Coast, can be 11 ft 6 in (3.5 meters) in length, while only two inches (five centimeters) wide. These are the longest leaflets known from any plant.
Calamus deerratus (Rattan Palm) G.Mann & H.Wendl. 1864
plant species in the arecaceae family
Calamus deerratus is a dioecious rattan species within the family Arecaceae, it is widespread in Tropical Africa and it is the only species within the genus Calamus that is native to Tropical Africa.

Eremospatha (Palm) (G.Mann & H.Wendl.) Schaedtler 1875
plant genus in the arecaceae family
Eremospatha is a genus of climbing flowering plants in the palm family found in tropical Africa. These rattans are uncommon in cultivation and poorly understood by taxonomists. Closely related to Laccosperma, they are differentiated by the near complete absence of bracts and bracteoles. The name is from Greek meaning 'without a spathe'.
Laccosperma (G.Mann & H.Wendl.) Drude 1877
plant genus in the arecaceae family
Laccosperma is a clustering genus of flowering plant in the Palm family (Arecaceae or palmae) found in tropical Africa. Poorly studied and rarely cultivated, they are closely related to the genus Eremospatha and with it form a tribe in the subfamily Calameae characterized by dyads of hermaphrodite flowers. The genus name combines the Greek words for "reservoir" and "seed".
Oncocalamus (G.Mann & H.Wendl.) H.Wendl. 1878
plant genus in the arecaceae family
Oncocalamus is a monoecious genus of flowering plants in the palm family found in western Africa. The genus is the lone member of the Oncocalaminae; once placed with the vegetatively similar Eremospatha and Laccosperma in the Ancistrophyllinae, it is now isolated based on their unusual flowers and arrangement. Such a placement argues for a long and complex evolutionary process in the Calamoideae with heavy extinction rates. The Greek genus name combines "horn" and "capsule".
Musa aurantiaca G.Mann ex Baker 1893
plant species in the musaceae family
Musa aurantiaca is a species of wild banana (genus Musa), native to Tibet, Arunachal Pradesh, the Assam region and Myanmar.
