Adenoa is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to Turneroideae (Passifloraceae).^[1]

Adenoa cubensis

A. cubensis (Britton & P.Wilson) is currently, the only species assigned to Adenoa.^[1]^[2] It is a shrub native to southeast Cuba.^[1] Originally, classified as Piriqueta cubensis, it would later be reclassified as Adenoa by MM Arbo in 1977.^[3]^[4]

A. cubensis is a diploid species (2n=14), which chromosomes similar in size to that of Turnera but larger than that of Piriqueta.^[5]

Floral morphology

A. cubensis has white homostylous flowers (3 cm) with protruding styles, free penduncles (1.5 cm), and short pedicels (0.5 cm).^[5]^[6] The stamen of A. cubensis are free, similar to those found in Piriqueta.^[7] The anthers are obtuse. Overall, the flowers of A. cubensis are considered more complex than those found in Erblichia but simpler than those found in Turnera and Piriqueta.^[5]

In addition to the differences in flower complexity, there are differences between A. cubensis' pollen exine and the exine of other members of Turneroideae.^[5]
