Schoepfiaceae
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schoepfiacaceae is the botanical name for a family of flowering plants (Schoepfiaceae Blume, 1850). Such a family has been recognized by few taxonomists; the plants in question usually being assigned to family Olacaceae. The APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, of 1998), does not recognize this family either.
The genus Schoepfia is according to molecular studies more closely related to the families Misodendraceae and Loranthaceae, and to uphold the criteria of monophyly it must be excluded from Olacaceae.
