Irrallista

Irrallista is a genus of flowering plants in the family Calophyllaceae. The genus is native to tropical Africa and Asia. There are two recognized species within the genus.

The species within the genus are largely herbaceous plants that grow in a variety of habitats. They can be found in forests, woodlands, and even in areas with lighter vegetation such as grasslands. The flowering plants are known to attract various types of insects, including pollinators, but also others such as wasps and spiders.

The leaves of the plants in the Irrallista genus are typically arranged in a way that follows an opposite decussate pattern, with one leaf located opposite the stem, then one leaf situated on either side of it, rather than alternating between left and right. The leaves are often oval in shape, and can be simple or sometimes unlobed in appearance.

Irrallista plants also produce yellow or yellow-green colored flowers, which often occur in clusters at the end of the stems. They are typically small in size, filling out a certain number of the plant's rows. The flowers are known to attract various insects, which contribute to the pollination of the plant.

Although little is known in-depth about the Irrallista genus, research on the subject is being conducted. This research may lead to a further understanding of the biology and importance of the plants.
