Fadogiellais a smallgenusofflowering plantsin thefamilyRubiaceae.It was described byWalter Robynsin 1928.[1]
Distribution
[edit]It is found in Central and East Tropical Africa:Democratic Republic of the Congo,Tanzania,Angola,Malawi,andZambia.[2]
Bacterial leaf symbiosis
[edit]Endophytic bacteria are housed in the intercellular space of the leafmesophyll tissue.The presence of these bacteria can only be microscopically ascertained. The bacteria are identified asBurkholderia,which is a genus that is also found in the leaves of other Rubiaceae species.[3][4]The hypothesis is that these endophytic bacteria provide chemical protection against insect herbivory.[5]
Taxonomy
[edit]This genus is morphologically similar to and related toFadogia,[6]butFadogiellais (3-)4-5locular,whileFadogiais 3-4(-5) locular.[1]
