This is a list of all the genera in the botanical family Arecaceae, the palm family, arranged by tribes and subtribes within the family. [1] Genera Palmarum (2008) lists 183 genera. [2] Lanonia, Saribus, and the monotypic genera Jailoloa, Wallaceodoxa, Manjekia, [3] and Sabinaria, which were described after 2008, have also been included below.

The Arecaceae (/ ˌ ær ə ˈ k eɪ s i. iː,-ˌ aɪ /) is a family of perennial, flowering plants in the monocot order Arecales. Their growth form can be climbers, shrubs, tree-like and stemless plants, all commonly known as palms. Those having a tree-like form are colloquially called palm trees. [4]

The Thorne system (1992) and the Dahlgren system assigned the order to the superorder Areciflorae, also called Arecanae in the subclass Liliidae (= monocotyledons), with the single family Arecaceae. The APG II system of 2003 recognised the order and placed it in the clade commelinids in the monocots and uses this circumscription: order Arecales
The cell wall is flexible during growth and has small pores called plasmodesmata that allow the exchange of nutrients and hormones between cells. [2] Many types of plant cells contain a large central vacuole, a water-filled volume enclosed by a membrane known as the tonoplast [3] that maintains the cell's turgor, controls movement of molecules ...
The habit of "climbing palm" is one of the terms used for referring to the diversity of habits of palm stems, the rest are "arborescent palms" or tree palms, "shrub palms" and "acaulescent palms", as defined in Dransfield (1978 [2] cited in Kubitzki ed. 1998, [3] see also Uhl & Dransfield 1987 Genera Palmarum).
Embryophyte cells also generally have an enlarged central vacuole enclosed by a vacuolar membrane or tonoplast, which maintains cell turgor and keeps the plant rigid. In common with all groups of multicellular algae they have a life cycle which involves alternation of generations.
