Kolákolaceae

Kolákolaceae is a family of plants in the order Rosales. This family contains only one known genus, Kolákola, and this genus has only one known species, Kolákola koilobotrya. The plant is native to the island of New Caledonia. Its classification within the Rosales order places it among a diverse group of families that includes roses, legumes, and mulberries. Research into this plant family is limited due to its restricted geographical distribution and singular species. The ecological role and specific characteristics of Kolákola koilobotrya within its native habitat are not extensively documented in widely accessible literature. Further botanical studies would be beneficial to fully understand the morphology, reproductive biology, and evolutionary relationships of Kolákolaceae. Its placement in the Rosales order suggests potential shared ancestral traits with other well-known plant families, but detailed comparative analysis is needed.
