Kydia
Genus of Malvaceae plants
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kydia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae, found in the Indian subcontinent, southern China and Southeast Asia.[2] Some sources consider it to be monotypic, with Kydia calycina the only species; certainly K. calycina is the best‑studied species, as it is widely exploited, even cultivated, for timber and fiber.[3]
