Genus of flowering plants
Aporosa is a genus of flowering plant belonging to the family Phyllanthaceae , first described as a genus in 1825.[ 4] It is native to China , the Indian Subcontinent , Southeast Asia , Papuasia , and Queensland .[ 1] [ 5] [ 6] [ 7]
These plants are mostly dioecious trees or shrubs.[ 8] Four species (A. hermaphrodita , A. heterodoxa , A. brevicaudata , and A. egreria ) have consistently bisexual flowers, although they may be functionally dioecious.[ 9] The seeds have brightly colored arils that are attractive to birds, which disperse the seeds.[ 3]
There are about 80 species.[ 3]
