This article is about flowering plants. For the bagworm moth genus including e.g. Canephora hirsuta, see Canephora (moth). For the ancient Greek honorific, see Kanephoros.
The name Canephora, "basket bearer", refers to both the flattened peduncle topped by a "hollowed apex bearing flowers" and to the ritual office for unmarried young women in ancient Greece, as bearer of a sacred basket full of offerings during processions at festivals.[3]
Canephora is unique in Rubiaceae in having peduncles transformed into flattened, green axes called phylloclades.[4]
Canephora madagascariensis has bright white, campanulate flowers and apparently edible, red fruits, locally known as "hazongalala".[5]
Speciesedit
Currently, five species are recognized, but several new species await description.[4]
