Phyllanthus emblica produces edible fruits. They are greenish, about the size of ping-pong balls & have firm, crisp flesh around a single large seed. Dried fruits are available in large Asian groceries in my area. 📷: Vijay Anand Ismavel CCBYNC2. #Phyllanthaceae #TropicalBotany #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

More #Phyllanthaceae strangeness! Many species of Phyllanthus are hyperaccumulators of nickel (meaning they store Ni in their tissues at concentrations very much greater than those of the surrounding soils).
In that case, let me share with you my own photos of two Phyllanthus from Borneo that are nickel hyperaccumulators: a branch of Phyllanthus balgooyi (with a detail of its fruits), and a flowering branch of Phyllanthus rufuschaneyi with male flowers (pedunculate) and female flowers (sessile).

Phyllanthus unifoliatus doesn’t have the Phyllanthus branching. The name suggests that this species, unlike others, is unifoliolate, but of course, all Phyllanthus have simple, not compound, leaves. This one is from New Caledonia. #Phyllanthaceae #TropicalBotany #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Here’s Phyllanthus fluitans, a floating aquatic species from southern Mexico and northern South America. I expected this to be a pantropical aquatic weed, but I see it’s escaped only in Florida (of course 😒). 📷: Eric Hunt CCBYNCND2 #Phyllanthaceae #TropicalBotany #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Phyllanthoid branching evolved only once but has been lost several times. Some species have kept the branching but ditched the leaves. Phyllanthus angustifolius of the Antilles has cladodes (flattened, photosynthetic branches). #Phyllanthaceae #TropicalBotany #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

I considered it because I'm going to post a photo of a Phyllanthus I saw in New Caledonia, but the species I saw is not a Ni hyperaccumulator. But it's another cool aspect of this family!😁

If you weren’t paying attention, you might mistake Phyllanthus myriophyllus, of Haiti, for a plant with bipinnate compound leaves, something like a young Delonix regia (Fabaceae). Remember, those are branches, not compound leaves. #Phyllanthaceae #TropicalBotany #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

I think other plants have orthotropic/plagiotropic branches, but it gets called phyllanthoid branching only in Phyllanthus. Other examples that I can think of are conifers: Taxodium, Araucaria & Wollemia have branches that act like compound leaves. Anisophyllea disticha is an Angiosperm example.

Phyllanthoid branching looks so much like pinnately compound leaves that even botanists can’t help but notice. Case in point: This is Phyllanthus juglandifolius. As the name suggests, the branches look like the leaves of walnut (Juglans spp.). #Phyllanthaceae #TropicalBotany #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Huh, I have a Phyllanthus (P. acidus) in my living room - never noticed anything unusual about its branching, and certainly not distichous leaves. I should look closer! :)

Phyllanthus has what is called “phyllanthoid branching”: Orthotropic (erect) shoots with spirally arranged leaves & plagiotropic (horizontal) branches with distichous leaves. Guam’s P. saffordii shows the dimorphism. 📷: Lauren Gutierrez CCBYND2. #Phyllanthaceae #TropicalBotany #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

lol, how to discover your local non-tropical Phyllanthus is no longer Phyllanthus.... but is now Lysiandra calycina (Labill.) R.W.Bouman False Boronia Phytotaxa 540(1):19 (2022)!!

I spend too much time pulling this annual weed from my garden in autumn: It’s Phyllanthus urinaria. At 1st glance, it looks like a single stem with pinnately compound leaves. Look again. The axillary flowers & fruits prove these “leaves” are branches. #Phyllanthaceae #TropicalBotany #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
