The genus has recently been revised and substantially expanded by J. Dransfield and H. J. Beentje (1995b). The most familiar species, <i>D. lutescens</i> (H. Wendland) Beentje & J. Dransfield, is hardly representative of the astonishing diversity in growth form, leaf shape, floral details, and fruit morphology found in the genus.</p><!-- --><p>Species 140 (1 in the flora).</p> |tables= |references= }}<!-- --><!-- -->{{#Taxon: name=Dypsis |authority=Noroña ex Martius |rank=genus |parent rank=subtribe |synonyms= |basionyms= |family=Arecaceae |distribution=Native to Africa (Madagascar and adjacent islands). |reference=None |publication title=in C.
