Icacinaceae (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Icacinaceae is a family of flowering plants. It consists of trees, shrubs, and lianas, primarily of the tropics. The family was traditionally circumscribed quite broadly, with around 55 genera totalling over 400 species. However in 2001 this circumscription was found to be polyphyletic, and the family was split into four families in three different orders: Icacinaceae sensu stricto (unplaced at order rank), Pennantiaceae (Apiales), Stemonuraceae (Aquifoliales) and Cardiopteridaceae (also Aquifoliales).
