Cyphomandra is a genus in the nightshade or potato family of flowering plants, Solanaceae. There are about 35 species in the genus, native to countries of the Americas from Mexico southwards to Northern Argentina; several new species have been described in recent decades. The best known species in the genus is the widely cultivated Tamarillo or tree tomato, but a number of the others are also cultivated as garden plants because of their attractive flowers or fruits. Several also have traditional uses in the regions where they are native. Most grow as shrubs or small trees 2 or 3 metres in height. Classes Magnoliopsida - Dicots Liliopsida - Monocots The flowering plants (also angiosperms or Magnoliophyta) are one of the major groups of modern plants, comprising those that produce seeds in specialized reproductive organs called flowers, where the ovulary or carpel is enclosed. ...

Cyphomandra is a genus of about 50 species of shrubs and small trees found from southern Mexico through South America.
Cyphomandra trees were in flower and producing immature fruit in mid-August.
The anthers of other species of Cyphomandra are variously described as being white or yellow, yellowish violet, purplish, pale yellow with purple spots, etc.; none are described as being bright yellow (Bohs, 1986).
