About the Image

Jubelina rosea (Malpighiaceae) from French Guiana. Malpighiaceae have been difficult to place phylogenetically owing in part to their highly specialized floral morphology, a likely adaptation to their association with oil-bee pollinators.

Elatinaceae are sister to Malpighiaceae; Peridiscaceae belong to Saxifragales
