Crotoneae is a tribe of the subfamily Crotonoideae, under the family Euphorbiaceae. [1] It comprises five genera.
Phyllanthaceae is a family of flowering plants in the eudicot order Malpighiales. It is most closely related to the family Picrodendraceae.
The family Pandaceae consists of three genera that were formerly recognized in the Euphorbiaceae. Those are:
The Acalyphoideae are a subfamily within the family Euphorbiaceae with 116 genera in 20 tribes.
Aleuritideae is a tribe of the subfamily Crotonoideae, under the family Euphorbiaceae. It comprises 6 subtribes and 14 genera.
Codiaeae is a tribe of the subfamily Crotonoideae, under the family Euphorbiaceae. It comprises 15 genera.
The Acalypheae is a tribe of the subfamily Acalyphoideae, under the family Euphorbiaceae. It comprises 12 subtribes and 32 genera.
Adelieae is a tribe of the subfamily Acalyphoideae, under the family Euphorbiaceae. It comprises 5 genera.
The Agrostistachydeae is a tribe of the subfamily Acalyphoideae, under the family Euphorbiaceae. It comprises 4 genera, which are monophyletic.
Alchorneae is a tribe of plants in the subfamily Acalyphoideae, under the family Euphorbiaceae. It comprises 2 subtribes and 7 genera.
The Bernardieae is a tribe of the subfamily Acalyphoideae, under the family Euphorbiaceae. It comprises 6 genera.
Chrozophoreae is a tribe of plant of the family Euphorbiaceae.
Epiprineae is a tribe of plants of the family Euphorbiaceae. It comprises 2 subtribes and 9 genera.
Galearieae is a no-longer-recognized tribe of plant of the family Euphorbiaceae. It comprised 3 genera, Galearia, Microdesmis, and Panda. Molecular data show that although these three genera are related to each other, they do not belong in the subfamily Acalyphoideae of the Euphorbiaceae, and therefore they are generally now classified as the family Pandaceae.
Plukenetieae is a tribe of plant of the family Euphorbiaceae. It comprises 3 subtribes and 14 genera. Tribe Plukenetieae (Benth.) Hutch. is a diverse pantropical lineage of ca. 17 genera and 350 species of twining vines and lianas, scandent to erect perennial herbs and subshrubs, and rarely shrubs and small trees.
Pycnocomeae is a tribe of plant of the family Euphorbiaceae. It comprises 2 subtribes and 7 genera.
Euphorbieae is a tribe of flowering plants of the family Euphorbiaceae. It comprises 3 subtribes and 6 genera.
Hippomaneae is a tribe of flowering plants of the family Euphorbiaceae. It comprises 2 subtribes and 33 genera.
Picrodendraceae is a family of flowering plants, consisting of 80 species in 24 genera. These are subtropical to tropical and found in New Guinea, Australia, New Caledonia, Madagascar, continental Africa, and tropical America. Its closest relatives are Phyllanthaceae.
The Euphorbiaceae, the spurge family, are a large family of flowering plants. In common English, they are sometimes called euphorbias, which is also the name of a genus in the family. Most spurges, such as Euphorbia paralias, are herbs, but some, especially in the tropics, are shrubs or trees, such as Hevea brasiliensis. Some, such as Euphorbia canariensis, are succulent and resemble cacti because of convergent evolution. This family has a cosmopolitan distribution, with greatest diversity in the tropics. However, the Euphorbiaceae also have many species in nontropical areas of all continents except Antarctica.
