Genera

Centroplacaceae is a family of flowering plants in the order Malpighiales and is recognized by the APG III system of classification. The family comprises two genera: Bhesa , which was formerly recognized in the Celastraceae, and Centroplacus , which was formerly recognized in the Euphorbiaceae, together comprising six species. [2] The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group determined that based on previous phylogenetic analysis, these two genera formed an isolated clade and recognition of the family was "reasonable." [1]
