The '''Polygonaceae''' are a [[Family (biology)|family]] of [[flowering plant]]s known [[Common name|informally]] as the knotweed family or smartweed—buckwheat family in the United States. The [[Botanical name|name]] is [[Basionym|based]] on the [[genus]] ''[[Polygonum]]'', and was first used by [[Antoine Laurent de Jussieu]] in 1789 in his book, ''Genera Plantarum''.<ref name="Jussieu1789">Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. 1789. ''Genera plantarum: secundum ordines naturales disposita, juxta methodum in Horto regio parisiensi exaratam''. page 82. Herrisant and Barrois: Paris, France. (see ''External links'' below)</ref> The name refers to the many swollen [[Node (botany)|nodes]] the stems of some species have. It is [[Etymology|derived]] from [[Greek language|Greek]]; ''poly'' means many and ''goni'' means knee or joint.
 
 
 
The Polygonaceae comprise about 1200 [[species]]<ref name="mabberley2008">David J. Mabberley. 2008. ''Mabberley's Plant-Book'' third edition (2008).

== Taxonomy ==
 
Polygonaceae are very well-defined and have long been universally recognized. In the [[APG III system]], the family is placed in the [[Order (biology)|order]] [[Caryophyllales]].<ref name="apgiii">{{Citation |last=Angiosperm Phylogeny Group |year=2009 |title=An update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants: APG III |journal=Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society |volume=161 |issue=2 |pages=105–121 |url=http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/122630309/abstract |accessdate=2010-12-10 |doi=10.1111/j.1095-8339.2009.00996.x }}</ref> Within the order, it lies outside of the large [[clade]] known as the core Caryophyllales.<ref name="Brockington2009">{{cite journal | last1 = Brockington | first1 = Samuel F. | last2 = Alexandre | first2 = Roolse | last3 = Ramdial | first3 = Jeremy | last4 = Moore | first4 = Michael J. | last5 = Crawley | first5 = Sunny | last6 = Dhingra | first6 = Amit | last7 = Hilu | first7 = Khidir | last8 = Soltis | first8 = Douglas E. | last9 = Soltis | first9 = Pamela S. | year = 2009 | title = Phylogeny of the Caryophyllales sensu lato: Revisiting hypotheses on pollination biology and perianth differentiation in the core Caryophyllales | url = | journal = International Journal of Plant Sciences | volume = 170 | issue = 5| pages = 627–643 | doi = 10.1086/597785 }}</ref> It is [[sister taxon|sister]] to the family [[Plumbaginaceae]], which it does not resemble [[Plant morphology|morphologically]].<ref name="apweb">Peter F.

The last comprehensive revision of the family was published in 1993 by John Brandbyge as part of [[Kubitzki system|''The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants'']].<ref name="brandbyge1993"/> Brandbyge followed [[List of systems of plant taxonomy|earlier systems]] of [[History of plant systematics|plant classification]] in dividing Polygonaceae into two [[subfamilies]], [[Eriogonoideae]] and [[Polygonoideae]]. Since 1993, the [[Circumscription (taxonomy)|circumscriptions]] of these two subfamilies have been changed in light of [[phylogenetic]] [[Research|studies]] of [[DNA sequence]]s.<ref name="sanchez2009">{{cite journal | last1 = Sanchez | first1 = Adriana | last2 = Schuster | first2 = Tanja M. | last3 = Kron | first3 = Kathleen A. | year = 2009 | title = A large-scale phylogeny of Polygonaceae based on molecular data | url = | journal = International Journal of Plant Sciences | volume = 170 | issue = 8| pages = 1044–1055 | doi = 10.1086/605121 }}</ref> Genera related to ''Coccoloba'' and ''Triplaris'' were moved from Polygonoideae to Eriogonoideae.

Brandbyge wrote descriptions for 43 genera of Polygonaceae in 1993.<ref name="brandbyge1993"/> Since then, a few more genera have been erected, and some [[Segregate (taxonomy)|segregates]] of ''Brunnichia'', ''Eriogonum'', and ''Persicaria'' have been given generic [[Taxonomic rank|status]] in major works.<ref name="freeman2005"/><ref name="burke2010"/><ref name="li2003">Anjen Li, Bojian Bao, Alisa E. Grabovskaya-Borodina, Suk-pyo Hong, John McNeill, Sergei L. Mosyakin, Hideaki Ohba, and Chong-wook Park. 2003. "Polygonaceae" pages 277-350. In: Zhengyi Wu, Peter H. Raven, and Deyuan Hong (editors). ''Flora of China'' volume 5. Science Press: Beijing, China; Missouri Botanical Garden Press: St. Louis, Missouri, USA.</ref> Some of the genera are not [[monophyletic]] and their limits will eventually be revised. These include ''Ruprechtia'', ''Eriogonum'', ''Chorizanthe'', ''Persicaria'', ''Aconogonon'', ''Polygonum'', ''Fallopia'', and ''Muehlenbeckia''.

[[Image:Ocreae of a Persicaria maculosa 2006-aug-10 Gothenburg Sweden.jpg|thumb|right|Ochrea of ''[[Persicaria maculosa]]'']]
 
 
 
Most Polygonaceae are [[Perennial plant|perennial]] [[Herbaceous plant|herbaceous]] plants with swollen [[Glossary of botanical terms#N|nodes]], but [[tree]]s, [[shrub]]s and [[vine]]s are also present. The [[leaves]] of Polygonaceae are [[Leaf#Divisions of the blade|simple]], and arranged [[Phyllotaxis|alternately]] on the [[Plant stem|stems]]. Each leaf has a peculiar pair of fused, sheathing [[stipule]]s known as an '''[[ochrea]]'''. Those species that do not have the nodal ocrea can be identified by their possession of [[Involucral bract|involucrate]] [[Head (botany)|flower heads]]. The [[flower]]s are normally [[Plant sexuality#Terminology|bisexual]], small, and [[Floral symmetry|actinomorphic]], with a perianth of three to six [[sepal]]s.  After [[Anthesis|flowering]], the sepals often become thickened and enlarged around the developing [[fruit]]. Flowers lack a [[Glossary of botanical terms#C|corolla]] and in some, the sepals are petal-like and colorful. The [[androecium]] is composed of three to eight [[stamen]]s that are normally free or [[Connation|united]] at the base. The [[Ovary (plants)|ovary]] consists of three united [[carpel]]s that form a single [[locule]], which produces only one [[ovule]]. The ovary is [[superior ovary|superior]] with basal or free-central [[Placentation#Placentation in plants|placentation]]. The [[gynoecium]] terminates in 1 to 3 [[style (botany)|styles]], each of which ends in a single [[Stigma (botany)|stigma]].<ref name="jones1979">Samuel B. Jones and Arlene E. Luchsinger. 1979.
