Description[edit]
Trees or shrubs with opposite leaves; flowers are zygomorph 1-(3)-5 merous; ovary inferior or
superior; one fertile stamen; fruits samara or capsules.
Biogeography[edit]
Six of the eight genera are native to the Neotropics. The
genera Erismadelphus and Korupodendron are native to West and Central Africa.
Evolutionary history[edit]
The family likely originated in South America. Erismadelphus is thought to have diverged
from Erisma approximately 30 million years ago, and traveled to Africa as the result of long-distance
dispersal.
Systematics[edit]
Vochysiaceae are closest to [[Myrtaceae[1]]]. Vochysiaceae consist of 7 genera with 217 species. The
family is classified in two tribes:
Tribe Erismeae : one inferior ovary and winged fruits
Erisma Rudge (20 species)
Erismadelphus Mildbr. (2 species)
Korupodendron Litt & Cheek (1 species)
Tribe Vochysieae: three fused superior ovaries and capsule fruits
