Fadogiella is a small genus of flowering plants in the Rubiaceae family. It was descripted by Walter Robyns in 1928.[1]
Contents
Distribution
It is found in Central and East Tropical Africa: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Angola, Malawi, and Zambia.[2]
Bacterial leaf symbiosis
Endophytic bacteria are housed in the intercellular space of the leaf mesophyll tissue. The presence of these bacteria can only be microscopically ascertained. The bacteria are identified as Burkholderia, which is a genus that is also found in the leaves of other Rubiaceae species. Their function remains enigmatic.[3][4]
Taxonomy
This genus is morphologically similar to and related to Fadogia,[5] but Fadogiella is (3-)4-5 locular, while Fadogia is 3-4(-5) locular.[1]
