Octolepidoideae
Subfamily of plants
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Octolepidoideae is a subfamily and one of the earliest branches of the Thymelaeaceae family.[1] This species inherited multiple morphological character states from its ancestor, Thymelaeaceae. The calyx of a typical octolepidoideae is 5-merous. Researchers have found the species to contain 4-merous and 6-merous calyces, albeit they remain rarer.[2]
