Pibiria


Pibiria is a genus consisting of only one species, Pibiria flava. The genus is the only member of the subfamily Pibirioideae .

''Pibiria flava''

Pibiria flava, the sole member of Pibiria, was identified, but unclassified, in 1993. It is a woody subtropical bush with yellow flowers. DNA, morphology, and reproductive analysis suggests the species is closely related to Turneroideae, but divergent enough to justify a different subfamily. The type specimen was collected at Mabura Hill in central Guyana.
