The Malpighiaceae are a family in the order of the Malpighiales (Malpighiales) of the flowering plants (Magnoliopsida). The approximately 1300 species are mainly native to the tropics of South America. The Malpighiaceae family probably originated in the Upper Cretaceous about 68 million years ago in South America.

description

They are mostly woody plants: shrubs , trees and lianas , but also perennial herbaceous plants . The simple leaves are mostly opposite. There are stipules present.

It forms racemose or panicle inflorescences. The often hermaphrodite flowers are usually five-fold with a double flower envelope and are mostly stalked and in many genera the flower stalk sits on a "joint" on the short side axes (Peduncle, Floriferis). There are mostly supporting and pre- leaves. There are four or five sepals, most of which have oil glands. There are usually five petals , which are stalked, the technical term is nailed . The flowers contain two to 15, usually five or ten stamens . Two to five, usually three carpels are a top permanent ovary grown. The sepals and stamens are often still preserved on the fruit.

Stone fruits or berries are often formed.

  • The appearance of oil glands shows the strong specialization. This oil is mainly collected by female oil bees who use it mixed with pollen as brood food.
  • The plants accumulate poisons that were used for fishing.

Systematics and distribution

The Malpighiaceae family was established in 1789 by Antoine Laurent de Jussieu in Genera Plantarum , p. 252 under the name "Malpighiae". The type genus is Malpighia L.

The systematics of the Malpighiaceae family is controversial and is divided into subfamilies and tribe differently by the authors. The Malpighiaceae family has been divided into two subfamilies since 2010 and contains 64 to 68 genera with 1250 to 1300 species:

  • Subfamily Malpighioideae Burnett : It is part of the Tricomarieae Nied. , Hiraeeae Griseb. , Rhynchophoreae Arènes , Banisterieae DC. , Gaudichaudieae Horan. structured.
  • Subfamily Byrsonimoideae WRAnderson : It contains the tribe Byrsonimeae WRAnderson with the three genera Blepharandra Griseb. , Byrsonima Rich. ex Kunth , Diacidia Griseb.
