High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rhektophyllum is a now defunct genus of flowering plants in the Araceae family. It consisted of two species, R. mirabile and R. camerunense. Both of these species were believed to be closely related to the genus Cercestis. The genus Rhektophyllum has since been sunk into the genus Cercestis. The main difference between the past Rhektophyllum species and those in the Cercestis genus was that Rhektophyllum had fenestrated adult leaves. The decision to merge the two genera was because they both have virtually identical flowers.
