'''Vochysiaceae''' is a plant family belonging to the order of [[Myrtales]].
 
 
 
==Description==
 
Trees or shrubs with opposite leaves; flowers are [[zygomorph]] 1-(3)-5 [[merous]]; ovary inferior or superior; one fertile stamen; fruits [[samara (fruit)|samara]] or [[capsule (fruit)|capsule]]s.
 
 
 
==Biogeography==
 
Six of the eight genera are native to the [[Neotropics]].  The genera ''[[Erismadelphus]]'' and ''[[Korupodendron]]'' are native to West and Central Africa.
 
 
 
==Evolutionary history==
 
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==
 
Vochysiaceae are closest to [[Myrtaceae<ref>Conti, E., A. Litt, P.G. Wilson, S.A Graham, B.G. Briggs, L.A.S. Johnson, K.J. Sytsma. 1997. Interfamiliar relationships in Myrtales: molecular phylogeny and patterns of morphological evolution. Systematic Botany 22: 629-647</ref>]]. 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
 
* ''[[Callisthene]]'' Mart. (10 species)
 
* ''[[Qualea]]'' Aubl. (60 species)
 
* ''[[Salvertia]]'' A.St.-Hil. (1 species)
 
* ''[[Ruizterania]]'' Marc.-Bert. (19 species)
 
* ''[[Vochysia]]'' Aubl. (105 species)
 
 
 
The genus ''[[Euphronia]]'', previously included in Vochysiaceae, is unrelated and now stands alone in the family [[Euphronia]]ceae, more closely related to the family [[Chrysobalanaceae]].
