The Coryphoideae is one of five subfamilies in the palm family, Arecaceae.[2][3][4] It contains all of the genera with palmate leaves, excepting Mauritia, Mauritiella and Lepidocaryum, all of subfamily Calamoideae, tribe Lepidocaryeae, subtribe Mauritiinae.[5][4][3] However, all Coryphoid palm leaves have induplicate (V-shaped) leaf folds (excepting Guihaia), while Calamoid palms have reduplicate (inverted V-shaped) leaf folds.[4] Pinnate leaves do occur in Coryphoideae, in Phoenix, Arenga, Wallichia and bipinnate in Caryota.

Classification[edit]

Subfamily Coryphoideae is divided into 8 tribes:[3]

  • Sabaleae
    • Sabal
  • Cryosophileae
    • Schippia
    • Trithrinax
    • Zombia
    • Coccothrinax
    • Hemithrinax
    • Thrinax
    • Chelyocarpus
    • Cryosophila
    • Itaya
    • Sabinaria
  • Phoeniceae
    • Phoenix
  • Trachycarpeae
    • Chamaerops
    • Guihaia
    • Trachycarpus
    • Rhapidophyllum
    • Maxburretia
    • Rhapis
    • Livistona
    • Licuala
    • Lanonia
    • Johannesteijsmannia
    • Pholidocarpus
    • Saribus
    • Acoelorrhaphe
    • Serenoa
    • Brahea
    • Colpothrinax
    • Copernicia
    • Pritchardia
    • Washingtonia
  • Chuniophoeniceae
    • Chuniophoenix
    • Kerriodoxa
    • Nannorrhops
    • Tahina
  • Caryoteae
    • Caryota
    • Arenga
    • Wallichia
  • Corypheae
    • Corypha
  • Borasseae
    • Bismarckia
    • Satranala
    • Hyphaene
    • Medemia
    • Latania
    • Lodoicea
    • Borassodendron
    • Borassus

The genus Sabinaria was discovered and described after the classification used here[3][4] was published, but its morphology clearly places it in tribe Cryosophileae.[6] The genus Saribus was split from Livistona,[7] while Lanonia was split from Licuala,[8] also after publication. Tribe Trachycarpeae was initially described as tribe 'Livistoneae',[3] but the name Trachycarpeae has priority.[4]Also Uhlia is an extinct genus described from permineralized remains recovered from the Ypresian Princeton Chert in British Columbia, Canada.[9]
