Pibiria is a genus consisting of only one species, Pibiria flava.
Pibiria flava
Pibiria flava, the sole member of
Pibiria, was identified, but unclassified, in 1993.
It is a woody subtropical bush with yellow flowers. DNA, morphology, and reproductive analysis suggests the species is closely related to
Passifloraceae, but divergent enough to justify a different subfamily.
The
type specimen was collected at Mabura Hill in central
Guyana.
