Huberantha is a genus ofplants in the familyAnnonaceae and tribeMiliuseae. It is distributed in Australia, tropical Asia, East Africa and some Pacific islands.[1]Tanawat Chaowasku named the genus "Huber's flowers" in honor of the German botanistHerbert Huber and to highlight its flowers as a distinguishing feature of the genus.[2] A number of species have been moved here from the genusPolyalthia.
The leaf veins ofHuberantha form an interconnected net-like pattern. Their flowers areaxillary. They have a singleovule and seed perovary. A portion of their ovules remain fused to the seed coat forming a flatraphe. Their seed coats form spine-like intrusions into theirendosperm. A layer of the outer pollen wall, called theinfratectum, has a granular appearance.[2]
