Vegetative characteristics

All species are woody plants: lianas or shrubs . The creepers of this family, such as Akebia , Stauntonia and Lardizabala , all wind in the direction of string bean and fire bean, i.e. bean- like or - from a scientific and technical point of view - as right-hand winders , botanically seen as right-hand winders . The alternate leaves are arranged in a petiole and a leaf blade. The leaf blades are usually palmate or pinnate.

Generative characteristics

The flowers of most kinds are monoecious separately sexed ( monoecious ). The unisexual flowers are radial symmetry and threefold. There are two circles of petal-like sepals and two (missing in some species) circles of nectar leaves (petals). The stamens of the male flowers can be free or fused. Three (to nine) to many free, upper carpels are present in the female flowers.

There are berries or follicles formed with mostly many (rarely one) seeds.

Systematics and distribution

The Lardizabalaceae family was founded in 1838 by Joseph Decaisne in The Athenaeum; journal of literature, science, and the fine arts , 535, page 72. The type genus is Lardizabala Ruiz & Pav. The scientific genus name Lardizabala honors Miguel Lardizábal y Uribe (1744 - 1824), a (Mexican-) Spanish politician. A homonym is Lardizabalaceae R.Br.

In 2012 the Lardizabalaceae family was revised by Maarten JM Christenhusz ; two genres became synonyms.

The Lardizabalaceae family has a disjoint area ; most of the species are found in Asia and some in South America .

In the family Lardizabalaceae Decne. nom. cons. Since Christenhusz 2012 there are only seven genera with about 40 species:

Akebia Decne. (Syn .: Archakebia C.Y.Wu ): The six species since 2012 are originally distributed in China , Taiwan , Japan and Korea .
Boquila Decne. : There is only one type:
- Boquila trifoliolata DC. : It occurs in Chile and Argentina .
Decaisnea Hook. f. & Thomson nom. cons. (Syn .: Slackia handle. ): The roughly two types occur in western China and in the Himalayas .
Lardizabala Ruiz & Pav. (Syn .: Cogylia Molina ): The only species of this genus is:
- Lardizabala funaria (Molina) Looser : This evergreen liana occurs in central to southern Chile and on the Juan Fernández Islands .
Sargentodoxa Rehder & EHWilson : It is a monotypical genus with the only species:
- Sargentodoxa cuneata (Oliver) Rehder & EHWilson : The home is China, Laos and Vietnam .
Sinofranchetia (Diels) Hemsl. : It is a monotypical genus with the only species:
- Sinofranchetia chinensis (Franchet) Hemsl. : The home is central and southern China.
Stauntonia ( Stauntonia DC. , Syn .: Holboellia Wall. , Parvatia Decne. ): The approximately 28 species since 2012 are distributed in the Himalayas and from Pakistan to temperate East Asia and Indochina :
