This document provides classification information for the plant family Rubiaceae. Some key points: - Rubiaceae is a large family of flowering plants known as the coffee, madder, or bedstraw family, containing over 13,000 species across 611 genera. - Members include trees, shrubs, lianas, herbs and some epiphytes. Leaves are usually simple, elliptic with a cuneate base and acute tip. Stipules are fused between opposite leaves. - Flowers are small to medium, usually 4 or 5 merous, and bisexual. They are aggregated in inflorescences like cymes or panicles. The perianth has a distinct

 Rubiaceae is a family of flowering plants, commonly known as the coffee, madder, or bedstraw family. It consists of terrestrial trees, shrubs, lianas, or herbs The family contains about 13,000 species in 611 genera, which makes it the fourth-largest angiosperm family. Rubiaceae has a cosmopolitan distribution
A wide variety of growth forms are present: shrubs are most common, but members of the family can also be trees, lianas or herbs. Some epiphytes are also present (e.g. Myrmecodia). Habit Leaves; The leaves are simple, undivided and entire; leaf blades are usually elliptic, with a cuneate base and an acute tip. The phyllotaxis is usually decussate; rarely whorled (e.g. Fadogia); or rarely alternate resulting from the suppression of one leaf at each node (e.g. Sabicea sthenula). Characteristic for Rubiaceae is the presence of stipules that are mostly fused to an interpetiolar structure on either side of the stem between the opposite leaves.
Leaves Herbaceous’, or leathery; petiolate to sessile; connate (often, via the stipules), or not connate; gland-dotted, or not gland-dotted; simple; epulvinate. Lamina entire; one-veined, or pinnately veined; cross-venulate. Leaves stipulate. Stipules interpetiolar (usually), or intrapetiolar; with colleters (typically). Lamina margins entire, or serrate.
Inflorescence; Flowers aggregated in ‘inflorescences’, or solitary (less often); in cymes, or in panicles, or in verticils, or in heads (rarely, e.g. Morindeae, Gardenieae). The ultimate inflorescence units cymose. Flowers small, or medium-sized; regular; mostly 4 merous, or 5 merous; cyclic; tetra cyclic, actinomorphic, epigynous, regular, complete, bisexual, di and heterochlamedious.

Epicalyx present (e.g. Fernelia, Flagenium), or absent. Corolla (3–)4, or 5, or 8–10; 1 whorled; gamopetalous; imbricate, or valvate, or contorted; tubular, regular, or bilabiate (rarely).

Stamens 4, or 5; inserted near the base of the corolla tube, or midway down the corolla tube, or in the throat of the corolla tube; isomerous with the perianth; alternating with the corolla members.
