👉 Platybrachyinae is a class of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae, primarily found in tropical regions of Asia and North America. This group includes species such as the bamboo plant (Ligustrum) and the bamboo tree (Aesculus hippocastanum). The term "platy" refers to the fact that these plants are mostly green or brown in color; they do not have a true plantealium, which is a type of leaf structure.
