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.
Subfamily Coryphoideae is divided into 8 tribes: [3]
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]
