Guttiferales
{{Unreferenced, date=December 2009 ''Guttiferales'' is a descriptive botanical name. It was used in the Bentham & Hooker system, the Wettstein system and Bessey system for an order of flowering plants that included the family ''Guttiferae''. The latter is also a descriptive botanical name and refers to the latex present in these plants. The order was fairly small in the Bentham & Hooker system: *order ''Guttiferales'' *: family ''Elatinaceae'' *: family ''Hypericaceae'' *: family ''Guttiferae'' *: family ''Ternstroemiaceae'' *: family '' Dipterocarpaceae'' *: family '' Chlenaceae'' It was much larger in the Wettstein system: * order ''Guttiferales'' *: family ''Dilleniaceae'' *: family ''Actinidiaceae'' *: family ''Ochnaceae'' *: family '' Strassburgeriaceae'' *: family ''Eucryphiaceae'' *: family ''Caryocaraceae'' *: family ''Marcgraviaceae'' *: family ''Quiinaceae'' *: family ''Theaceae'' *: family ''Guttiferae'' *: family '' Dipterocarpaceae'' The difference in compositio ...

Dilleniaceae
Dilleniaceae is a family of flowering plants with 11 genera and about 430 known species. Such a family has been universally recognized by taxonomists. It is known to gardeners for the genus '' Hibbertia'', which contains many commercially valuable garden species. Description and distribution The family is found in the tropics and subtropics plus all of Australia. Most of the members in it are woody plants - lianas or trees such as '' Dillenia'' - but herbaceous species such as ''Hibbertia'' are also present in Dilleniaceae. The leaves of the plants in the family are wide and well-developed, but in certain species of '' Hibbertia'' they are strongly modified. The flowers are mainly showy and colorful with visible reproductive components. Buzz pollination is common in the group. Fruits of some species, such as '' Dillenia indica'' (elephant apple), are edible.

Cronquist System
The Cronquist system is a taxonomic classification system of flowering plants. It was developed by Arthur Cronquist in a series of monographs and texts, including ''The Evolution and Classification of Flowering Plants'' (1968; 2nd edition, 1988) and ''An Integrated System of Classification of Flowering Plants'' (1981) (''see'' Bibliography). Cronquist's system places flowering plants into two broad classes, Magnoliopsida (dicotyledons) and Liliopsida ( monocotyledons). Within these classes, related orders are grouped into subclasses. While the scheme was widely used, in either the original form or in adapted versions, many botanists now use the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants, first developed in 1998. The system as laid out in Cronquist's ''An Integrated System of Classification of Flowering Plants'' (1981) counts 64 orders and 321 families in class Magnoliopsida and 19 orders and 65 families in class Liliopsida.

Theaceae
Theaceae (), the tea family, is a family of flowering plants comprising shrubs and trees, including the economically important tea plant, and the ornamental camellias. It can be described as having from seven to 40 genera, depending on the source and the method of circumscription used. The family Ternstroemiaceae has been included within Theaceae;Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. ''Vascular Plant Families and Genera''TheaceaeWatson, L., & Dallwitz, M. J. (1992 onwards). ''The families of flowering plants''/ref> however, the APG III system of 2009 places it instead in Pentaphylacaceae. Most but not all species are native to China and East Asia. Family traits Plants in this family are characterized by simple leaves that are alternate spiral to distichial, serrated, and usually glossy. Most of the genera have evergreen foliage, but ''Stewartia'' and ''Franklinia'' are deciduous. The toothed margins are generally associated with a characteristic Theoid leaf tooth, which is crowned by a g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Quiinaceae
Quiinaceae Engl. is a neotropical family of flowering plants in the Malpighiales, consisting of about 50 species in 4 genera (''Froesia'', ''Lacunaria'', '' Quiina'', '' Touroulia''). The APG III system of flowering plant classification does not recognize such a family, instead including these genera in the Ochnaceae Ochnaceae is a family of flowering plants in the order Malpighiales.Vernon H.

Marcgraviaceae
The Marcgraviaceae are a neotropical angiosperm family in the order Ericales. The members of the family are shrubs, woody epiphytes, and lianas, with alternate, pinnately nerved leaves. The flowers are arranged in racemes. The flowers are accompanied by modified, fleshy, saccate bracts which produce nectar. The flowers are pentamerous. The fruits are capsules.

Eucryphiaceae
Cunoniaceae is a family of 27 Genus, genera and about 335 species of woody plants in the order Oxalidales, mostly found in the tropical and wet temperate regions of the Southern Hemisphere. The greatest diversity of genera are in Australia and Tasmania (15 genera), New Guinea (9 genera), and New Caledonia (7 genera). The family is also present in Central America, South America, the Caribbean, Malesia, the islands of the South Pacific, Madagascar and surrounding islands. the family is absent from mainland Asia except from Peninsular Malaysia, and almost absent from mainland Africa apart from two species from Southern Africa (''Cunonia capensis'', ''Platylophus trifoliatus''). Several of the genera have remarkable disjunct ranges, found on more than one continent, e.g. ''Cunonia'' (Southern Africa & New Caledonia), ''Eucryphia'' (Australia & South America) ''Weinmannia'' (America and the Mascarenes). The family includes trees and shrubs; most are evergreen but a few are deciduous. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ochnaceae is a family of flowering plants in the order Malpighiales.Vernon H. Heywood, Richard K. Brummitt, Ole Seberg, and Alastair Culham. ''Flowering Plant Families of the World''. Firefly Books: Ontario, Canada. (2007). . In the APG III system of classification of flowering plants, Ochnaceae is defined broadly, to include about 550 species,Maria do Carmo E. Amaral, and Volker Bittrich. 2014. "Ochnaceae". pages 253-268. In: Klaus Kubitzki (editor). 2014. ''The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants'' volume XI.

Actinidiaceae
The Actinidiaceae are a small family of flowering plants. The family has three genera and about 360 species and is a member of the order Ericales. Distribution They are temperate and subtropical woody vines, shrubs, and trees, native to Asia (''Actinidia'' or kiwifruit, ''Clematoclethra'', and ''Saurauia'') and Central America and South America (''Saurauia'' only). ''Saurauia'', with its 300 species, is the largest genus in this family. Although now confined to Asia and tropical Central and South America, evidence indicates in the past the family had a wider distribution. The now extinct genus ''Parasaurauia'' is thought to have belonged to the Actinidiaceae and lived in North America during the early Campanian. Characteristics The plants are usually small trees or shrubs, or sometimes vines (''Actinidia''). The alternate, simple, spiral leaves have serrated or entire margins. They lack stipules or are minutely stipulated. They are often beset with rather flattened b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
