==== Ripogonaceae ==== {{Main|Ripogonaceae}} The Ripogonaceae (Supplejack family) is a very small family, with a single genus, ''Ripogonum'' and six species. They are woody evergreen shrubs and vines arising from a horizontal rhizome, swollen at its base to form a tuber. They are confined to Eastern Australasia, with the type species, ''Ripogonum scandens'' as the sole New Zealand species. The stems have a use in basketry and building and the young shoots are edible. The name is derived from two Greek words, ''ripos'' (wicker) and ''gony'' (node) in reference to their node bearing shoots.{{sfn|Christenhusz et al|2017}}{{sfn|Byng|2014}} |} {{Clear}} {| ||[[File:Philesia magellanica.jpg|upright|thumb|130px|left|''[[Philesia magellanica]]''|alt=Flowers of Philesia magellanic]]
