* These [[tree]]s, rarely [[shrub]]s, are [[evergreen]] and [[glabrous]].
 
* The [[Plant stem|stem]]s have [[node (botany)|nodes]] with three (rarely two) [[leaf gap]]s and three [[Glossary of botanical terms#leaf trace|leaf traces]]. The [[xylem]] has narrow [[xylem ray|rays]]. The [[bark]] is [[Essential oil|aromatic]], with  prominent and unusual appearing [[lenticel]]s.
 
* The [[Leaf|leaves]] have a [[Black pepper|pepper]]y [[taste]], are [[Alternate leaf|alternate]], spiral, or [[Phyllotaxis|distichous]] in arrangement, simple, entire, [[Glossary of botanical terms#coriaceous|coriaceous]], [[Petiole (botany)|petiolate]], [[pinnate]]ly [[Leaf#Venation (arrangement of the veins)|nerved]], without [[stipule]]s, with translucent ([[Glossary of botanical terms#pellucid|pellucid]]) [[Gland (botany)|glands]]. The [[parenchyma]] is without [[Palisade cell|palisade layer]] in ''[[Pleodendron]]'' and ''[[Canella]]''. The [[Stoma (botany)|stomata]] are [[Glossary of botanical terms#paracytic|paracytic]] in [[Americas|American]] genera, and [[Glossary of botanical terms#anomocytic|anomocytic]] in the [[Old World]].
 
* The [[inflorescence]]s are terminal or [[axil]]lary, in a [[panicle]] (''Canella'') or a [[raceme]]; otherwise, the flowers are solitary (by reduction) and axillary.
 
* The [[flower]]s are [[Floral symmetry|actinomorphic]], [[hypogynous]], and usually [[Glossary of botanical terms#trimerous|trimerous]]. The [[Receptacle (botany)|receptacle]]s are barely excavated, and the hypogynous disc is absent.
 
* The three (rarely 2) [[sepal]]s are thick, coriaceous, and [[Aestivation (botany)|imbricate]].
 
* The [[petal]]s number (4-)5-12, in 1-2 (-4) unlike [[Whorl (botany)|whorls]] or spirally arranged, slender, imbricate in [[bud]], usually [[Glossary of botanical terms#free|free]] ([[Connation|connate]] at the base in ''Canella'' and halfway to the apex in ''[[Cinnamosma]]'').
 
* The [[androecium]] is [[Glossary of botanical terms#monadelphous|monadelphous]], [[adnation|adnate]] to the ovary. [[Stamen]]s number 6-12, apparently derived from the [[Connation|fusion]] of two whorls in ''[[Warburgia]]'' and ''Canella''. [[Anther]]s are [[Dehiscence (botany)|extrorse]] and [[Theca|bithecal]], with two [[sporangia]] per theca, attached to the outside of the [[androphore|staminal tube]], and [[Sessility (botany)|sessile]]; [[Dehiscence (botany)|dehiscence]] is by a longitudinal slit, [[Glossary of botanical terms#connective|connective]] not projecting beyond thecae or only slightly so.
 
* The [[gynoecium]] is [[carpel|syncarpous]]. The [[Ovary (plants)|ovary]] has two to six [[carpel]]s, [[Locule|unilocular]] and [[superior ovary|superior]]. The [[Style (botany)|style]] is short and thick; the [[Stigma (botany)|stigma]] is [[Glossary of botanical terms#apical|apical]] and [[Glossary of botanical terms#capitate|capitate]], with two to six lobes. [[Placentation#Placentation in plants|Placentation]] is parietal. [[Ovule]]s number from two to many in one or two rows on each of the two to six placentas; they are hemianatropous to campylotropous, bitegmic, and crassinucellate.
 
* The [[fruit]] is a [[berry (botany)|berry]] with a persistent [[calyx (botany)|calyx]], with two or more [[seed]]s. ''[[Cinnamosma macrocarpa]]'', in the [[Madagascar|Madagascan]] genus ''Cinnamosma'', has the largest fruit in the family, sometimes reaching {{convert|6|cm|in|abbr=on}} by {{convert|9|cm|in|abbr=on}}.
 
* [[Seed]]s have [[Glossary of botanical terms#exotesta|exotestae]] (the outer layer of the testa) only; the [[Glossary of botanical terms#tegmen|tegmen]] (the inner layer of the testa) is collapsed. The seed coat has oily [[idioblast]]s; the [[endosperm]] is abundant and oily ([[Glossary of botanical terms#ruminate|ruminate]] in ''Cinnamosma''). The [[Embryo#Plant embryos|embryo]] is small and straight to slightly curved, with two [[cotyledon]]s.
 
* [[Pollen]] occurs in [[Glossary of botanical terms#monad|monads]], and is delicate and monosulcate (usually with 10% of the grain trichotomosulcate); apertures are distal, [[exine]], generally tectate, and granular, intectate, and reticulate in ''[[Cinnamosma]]''; grains are small and hardly ornamented in ''[[Cinnamodendron]]'' and ''[[Warburgia]]'', largest and most highly decorated in ''[[Canella]]'' and ''[[Pleodendron]]''. The pollen is generally similar to that of the [[Myristicaceae]], which had at one time caused some [[plant systematics|systematists]] to believe the two families were closely related.
 
* The [[Chromosome| chromosome number]] ''2n'' is 22, 26, or 28.<ref name="ehrendorfer2000">Friedrich Ehrendorfer and Maria Lambrou. 2000. "Chromosomes of ''Takhtajania'', other Winteraceae, and Canellaceae: phylogenetic implications". ''[[Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden]]'' '''87'''(3):407-413.</ref>
 
 
 
[[Synapomorphies]] for Canellaceae include monadelphous stamens, parietal placentation, and campylotropous ovules.<ref name="salazar2008"/>
 
 
 
Other notable [[Phenotypic trait|traits]] include the conspicuous lenticels, the aromatic bark, the peppery taste of the leaves, the three (rarely two) fleshy sepals, and the berry with reniform seeds.<ref name="salazar2008"/>
 
 
 
Some sources indicate ''[[Cinnamodendron]]'' has 20-40 stamens, contrary to the sources that are regarded here as reliable. The very large stamen numbers (20 to 40), are probably counts of thecae or microsporangia.
 
 
 
== Ecology ==
 
Canellaceae has species in both [[xeric]] and [[Hydric soil|wet forests]].
 
 
 
In ''[[Canella winterana]]'', the flowers are [[protogynous]]. The berries are usually red, and probably eaten by birds, which contribute to [[seed dispersal]] ([[ornithochory]]). The trees are attacked by [[larvae]] of different [[insects]], including [[dipteran]]s.
 
 
 
== Phytochemistry ==

[[File:Canella winteriana Guadeloupe.JPG|thumb|right | Flowers of ''C. winterana'', at Pointe des Châteaux, Guadeloupe, October 2008]]
 
 
 
[[Monoterpene]]s are common, as are [[drimane]]-type [[sesquiterpene]]s, including [[cinnafragrin]]s, [[cinnamodial]], and [[capsicodendrin]]. These three sesquiterpenes are shared with only the [[Winteraceae]] in [[angiosperms]]. Canellaceae also have [[alkaloid]]s of the [[aporphine]] type, such as [[N-(cinnamoil)-tryptamine]], [[lignan]]s of the aryl-tetralin type, [[cinnamaldehyde]]s, and [[allylphenol]]s. Crystals of [[calcium oxalate]] are in the leaf mesophyll. Most species are [[cyanogenetic]]. [[Protocyanidin]]s, [[flavonol]]s, [[saponin]]s, [[sapogenin]]s, and [[ellagic acid]] are absent.{{Citation needed|date=February 2013}}
 
 
 
== Uses ==
 
The saro, or green sandalwood, (also known locally as ''mandravasarotra''), ''[[Cinnamosma fragrans]]'', is native to Madagascar and is exported from there to India to be burned in ceremonies. It is not related to the true [[Santalum|sandalwoods]], which are in the family [[Santalaceae]].{{Citation needed|date=February 2013}}
 
 
 
Most species of Canellaceae produce bark that is similar in [[odor]] and [[flavor]] to [[cinnamon]], but they are not related to true [[Cinnamomum|cinnamons]], which are in the family [[Lauraceae]].
 
 
 
The white cinnamon, ''[[Canella winterana]]'', a native of [[Florida]] and the [[Antilles]], is used as a [[condiment]], with [[Herbal tonic|tonic]] properties.{{Citation needed|date=February 2013}}
 
 
 
Commercial production of "white cinnamon" from ''C. winterana'' has ceased,<ref name="zanoni2004">Thomas A. Zanoni. 2004. "Canellaceae". page 81. In: Nathan Smith, Scott A. Mori, Andrew Henderson, Dennis Wm. Stevenson, and Scott W. Heald (editors). ''Flowering Plants of the Neotropics''. Princeton University Press and The New York Botanical Garden. {{ISBN|978-0-691-11694-5}}.</ref> but small-scale, local production continues. The Canellaceae have long had local use as aromatic plants and as herbal medicines.
 
 
 
The bark of the red cinnamon or false Winter's bark, ''[[Cinnamodendron corticosum]]'', is used as a substitute for Winter's bark (''[[Drimys winteri]]'', a member of [[Winteraceae]]) in [[Chile]] and [[Argentina]], where it is called ''canelo'', a name that is also applied to cinnamon. In [[Africa]], several species of ''[[Warburgia]]'' have [[Medicinal plants|medicinal]] uses. The barks of ''[[Warburgia salutaris]]'' and ''[[Warburgia ugandensis]]'' are used to treat [[fever]]s, [[Common cold|colds]], and [[malaria]].{{Citation needed|date=February 2013}} Other species are used for [[timber]] or in the production of [[resin]]s used as [[glue]].{{Citation needed|date=February 2013}}
 
 
 
== Fossils ==
 
Fossil leaves of ''Canella'' are known from the [[Pliocene]] of [[Bahia]] ([[Brazil]]).{{Citation needed|date=February 2013}} Pollen of ''[[Pleodendron]]'' is known from the [[Oligocene]] of [[Puerto Rico]].{{Citation needed|date=February 2013}}
 
 
 
== Systematic position ==
 
Depending on the [[History of plant systematics|classification system]] and the [[Phenotypic trait|characters]] considered, Canellaceae has been placed close to [[Annonaceae]], [[Myristicaceae]] or [[Winteraceae]].<ref name="heywood2007"/> In his last book, [[Armen Takhtajan]] defined the order Canellales as consisting of Canellaceae and Winteraceae.<ref name="takhtajan2009"/> This [[Circumscription (taxonomy)|circumscription]] is followed in the [[APG IV system]], in which the order Canellales is [[Sister taxon|sister]] to another small order, the [[Piperales]].<ref name=APGIV>{{Cite journal|authors=Angiosperm Phylogeny Group|year=2016|title=An update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants: APG IV|journal=Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society|volume=181|issue=1|pages=1–20|url=http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/boj.12385/epdf|format=PDF|issn=00244074|doi=10.1111/boj.12385}}</ref>

In this article, the genus ''Capsicodendron'' is maintained in [[Synonym (taxonomy)|synonymy]] with ''Cinnamodendron'', although preliminary molecular [[phylogenetic]] [[Scientific paper|studies]] separate ''Capsicodendron'' from ''Cinnamodendron'' and place ''Capsicodendron'' closer to ''Cinnamosma'' and ''Warburgia'' than to ''Cinnamodendron''. This placement is not corroborated by [[Plant morphology|morphology]]. The currently recognized genera in Canellaeae can be distinguished as follows:<ref name="salazar2008"/>

== History ==
 
''Canella winterana'' was an important [[medicinal plant]] of the [[indigenous peoples|natives]] of the [[Neotropic ecozone|American tropics]], and it was soon adopted as such by the [[Europeans]], as well. Dr. [[Diego Álvarez Chanca]] accompanied [[Christopher Columbus]] on his [[Voyages of Christopher Columbus|second voyage]], after which he wrote of a cinnamon (''canela'' in [[Spanish language|Spanish]]) which was unlike any of the species of cinnamon used in [[Europe]].<ref name="dalby2001">Andrew Dalby. 2001. "Christopher Columbus, Gonzalo Pizarro, and the Search for Cinnamon". ''[[Gastronomica]]: The Journal of Food and Culture'' '''1'''(2):40-49. (See ''external links'' below).</ref> He had probably reported the use of ''C. winterana''.<ref name="salazar2008"/>
 
 
 
In 1737, in his ''[[Hortus Cliffortianus]]'', [[Linnaeus]] combined ''Canella'' with ''[[Drimys]]'', a genus now in [[Winteraceae]], and ''[[Cinnamomum]]'', now in ''[[Lauraceae]]'', to form a [[taxon]] which he called ''Winterania''.<ref name="linnaeus1737">Carolus Linnaeus. 1737. ''Hortus Cliffortianus'':488. Lubrecht and Cramer. Amsterdam, Netherlands. (See ''External links'' below).</ref> In 1753, in the first edition of ''[[Species Plantarum]]'', Linnaeus divided ''Winterania'' into four species.<ref name="linnaeus1753">Carolus Linnaeus (Carl von Linné). 1753. ''Species Plantarum'', 1st edition, vol. 1, page 371. Holmiae: Impensis Laurentii Salvii (Lars Salvius). (A facsimile with an introduction by William T. Stearn was published by the Ray Society in 1957).</ref> Three of these are now in ''Cinnamomum'', and the fourth, which he called ''Laurus winterana'', consisted of what are now ''Canella winterana'' and ''[[Drimys winteri]]''. These four species were included in a [[sensu lato|broadly defined]] ''[[Laurus]]''.
 
 
 
In 1756, [[Patrick Browne]] applied the [[Botanical name|name]] ''Canella'' to the species now known as ''Canella winterana''.<ref name="ipnicanella">''Canella''. In: [[International Plant Names Index]].</ref> He did not add a [[Species name|specific epithet]] to create a [[Binomial nomenclature|binomial]].<ref name="browne1756">Patrick Browne. 1756. ''The Civil and Natural History of Jamaica'':275. T.Osborne & J. Shipton: London, UK.</ref> The [[Genus name|generic name]] is [[Etymology|derived]] from ''canela'', the Spanish word for cinnamon, but the Spanish word is derived from the [[Latin]] ''canna'', meaning "a reed", or from the related [[Greek language|Greek]] ''kanna'', which refers to a piece of rolled bark.<ref name="quattrocchiI">Umberto Quattrocchi. 2000. ''CRC World Dictionary of Plant Names'' volume I. CRC Press: Boca Raton; New York; Washington,DC, USA. / London, UK. {{ISBN|978-0-8493-2675-2}} (vol. I). (see ''External links'' below).</ref>
 
 
 
The genus ''Canella'' was not adopted by Linnaeus, who [[resurrected]] ''Winterania'' in the second edition of ''Species Plantarum'' in 1762.<ref name="linnaeus1762">Carolus Linnaeus (Carl von Linné). 1762. ''Species Plantarum'', 2nd edition, vol. 1, page 636. Holmiae: Impensis Laurentii Salvii (Lars Salvius).</ref> He assigned to'' Winterania'' a single species, ''Winterania canella'', which was equivalent to the species he had previously called ''Laurus winterana'',.
 
 
 
In 1784, [[Johan Andreas Murray]] divided ''Winterania'' into two [[Monospecificity|monospecific]] genera, the constituent species of which were ''Canella alba'' and ''Wintera aromatica''.<ref name="murray1784">Johan Andreas Murray. 1784. pages 443 and 507. In: Caroli a Linné eqvitis Systema vegetabilivm : secvndvm classes ordines genera species cvm characteribvs et differentiis, 14th edition. Johann Christian Dieterich: Gottingen, Germany.</ref> The name ''Canella alba'' was [[valid publication|validated]] by Murray in 1784,<ref name="ipnicanella"/> but it had long been in use. Linnaeus [[Citation|attributed]] the name to [[Samuel Dale (physician)|Samuel Dale]], who used it in his ''Pharmacologia'',<ref name="linnaeus1737"/> the first edition of which was published in 1693.<ref name="boulger_undated">George Simonds Boulger. date?. "Samuel Dale", entry 385. In: Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900, Volume 13.</ref> Patrick Browne mentions its use by [[Mark Catesby]].<ref name="browne1756"/> ''Canella alba'' was renamed as ''Canella winterana'' by [[Joseph Gaertner]] in 1788 in his [[classic]] [[Treatise|work]] ''[[De Fructibus et Seminibus Plantarum]]'' (''The Fruits and Seeds of Plants'').<ref name="gaertner1788">Joseph Gaertner. 1788. pages 373 and 374. In: De Fructibus et Seminibus Plantarum. Sumtibus Auctoris, Typis Academiae Carolinae. Stuttgart, Germany. (A facsimile edition was published by Nabu Press in 2010. {{ISBN|978-1-147-85791-7}}).</ref> The name change was required by the [[International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants|rules of botanical nomenclature]]. ''Wintera aromatica'' is now known as ''[[Drimys winteri]]'' and is in the family [[Winteraceae]].
 
 
 
The family Canellaceae was established by [[Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius|Carl von Martius]] in 1832 and was defined as consisting of only the genus ''Canella''.<ref name="reveal2008onward">James L. Reveal. 2008 onward. ''A checklist of suprageneric names for extant vascular plants''. At: Home Page of James L. Reveal and C. Rose Broome. (See ''External links'' below).</ref><ref name="martius1832">Carl von Martius. 1832. Nov. Gen. Sp. Pl. 3: 168, 170.</ref> [[Stephan Friedrich Ladislaus Endlicher|Stephan Endlicher]] divided ''Canella'' in 1840, creating the new genus ''Cinnamodendron''. ''Cinnamosma'' was erected in 1867, ''Warburgia'' in 1895, and ''Pleodendron'' in 1899. ''Capsicodendron'' was erected in 1933. Some authors accept ''Capsicodendron'' and assign to it two species, ''Capsicodendron pimenteira'' and ''Capsicodendron dinisii''.<ref name="zanoni2004"/> Other authors subsume ''Capsicodendron'' into ''Cinnamodendron'' and ''C. pimenteira'' into ''C. dinisii''.<ref name="salazar2008"/>
 
 
 
[[Molecular phylogenetic]] studies of [[DNA sequence]]s have shown ''Cinnamodendron'', as traditionally circumscribed, is [[polyphyletic]], consisting of two distinct [[Clade|groups]].<ref name="salazar2008"/> These groups are [[Plant morphology|morphologically]] different and their [[Range (biology)|ranges]] do not overlap.
 
 
 
One of these groups is [[Plant taxonomy|related]] to the [[Africa]]n genera ''Cinnamosma'' and ''Warburgia'', and might be [[paraphyletic]] over them. It consists of eight species, one of which was named in 2005.<ref name="hammel2005">Barry E. Hammel and Nelson A. Zamora. 2005. "''Pleodendron costaricense'' (Canellaceae), a new species for Costa Rica". ''Lankesteriana'' '''5'''(3):211-218.</ref> Two other species in this group have not been formally named and described in the scientific literature.<ref name="salazar2008"/> This group is restricted to [[South America]]. Since it includes the [[type species]], ''[[Cinnamodendron axillare]]'', it will retain the name ''Cinnamodendron''.
 
 
 
The other group of ''Cinnamodendron'' species is [[sister taxon|most closely related]] to ''Pleodendron'' and is restricted to the [[Greater Antilles]]. It consists of six species, two of which remain unnamed.<ref name="salazar2008"/> The name ''[[Antillodendron]]'' has been proposed for this group, but this name is considered by some to be [[Correct name (botany)|invalid]] because it was not effectively published.<ref name="tropicos_antillodendron">''Antillodendron'' In: Tropicos At: Missouri Botanical Garden.
