Achatocarpaceae
The Achatocarpaceae are a family of woody flowering plants consisting of two genera and 11 known species, and has been recognized by most taxonomists. The family is found from the southwestern United States south to tropical and subtropical South America. The APG II system (2003; unchanged from the APG system of 1998) assigns it to the order Caryophyllales in the clade core eudicots. It forms a clade together with Amaranthaceae and Caryophyllaceae, two very large families. Genera There are two genera, both of which are dioecious: * '' Achatocarpus'' Triana * '' Phaulothamnus'' A.Gray Asa Gray (November 18, 1810 – January 30, 1888) is considered the most important American botanist of the 19th century.

José Jerónimo Triana
José Jerónimo Triana Silva (May 22, 1828 in Bogotá – October 31, 1890 in Paris) was a Colombian botanist, explorer, and physician who cataloged over 60,000 specimens representing 8,000 species. In 1851, he joined the Chorographic Commission as head of botany, which he served as until 1857. During this time he created an herbarium of over 2,200 herbal plants. As a physician, he developed a line of pharmaceutical products marketed in France, among which are bandages to treat corns, powder toothpaste, and cough syrup. Like his father, Triana wrote several school books to learn to read and write that were used in schools in Colombia. Triana died one day before the death of his daughter Liboria. After he died, his wife returned to Bogotá. She died in 1895. Published works * New genera and species of plants for neogranadina flora (1855) * Colombian flora (1856) * Monograph of the garcinia (1856) Example of species he cataloged include the following: * ''Acisanthera alsinaefol ...
