The '''Frankeniaceae''' are a [[family (biology)|family]] of [[flowering plants]] (''[[Angiosperms]])'', widely recognized by many taxonomists; it has commonly been assumed to be closely related to family [[Tamaricaceae]].
 
 
 
The [[APG II system]], of 2003 (unchanged from the [[APG system]], of 1998) also recognizes such a family and assigns it to the order [[Caryophyllales]] in the clade [[core eudicots]]. The family consists of up to 100 species in four genera: ''[[Frankenia]]'', ''[[Hypericopsis]]'', ''[[Anthobryum]]'' and ''[[Niederleinia]]''.<ref>Watson, L., and Dallwitz, M.J. 1992 onwards.

== Characteristics ==
 
 
 
Halophytic shrubs, subshrubs or herbs. Leaves opposite,
 
simple, often small and ericoid and revolute-margined, commonly punctate with
 
sunken, salt-excreting glands, exstipulate, leaf pairs united by a common
 
sheath. Flowers small, in axillary dichasia or forming dense leafy cymes, or
 
solitary, hypogynous, regular, usually perfect, subtended by 2 prophylls and
 
usually with a pair of additional bracts; sepals 4–7, connate into a tube with
 
short, induplicate-valvate lobes; petals 4–7, distinct, imbricate, clawed, usually
 
with a scale-like appendage inside; nectary disk wanting; stamens 3–6(-25),
 
mostly 6 in 2 whorls, distinct or shortly connate at the base, with filiform or
 
flattened filaments, rarely inner cycle staminodial; anthers versatile, opening
 
length-wise; gynoecium of (1-)3(4) carpels united to form a unilocular ovary
 
with as many parietal (sometimes intruded) or parietal-basal placentas as
 
carpels, or sometimes with a strictly basal placenta; style slender and
 
elongate, usually with distinct stylodia; ovules (1)2–6(-many) on each
 
placenta, anatropous, with a more or less elongate funiculus. Fruit a
 
loculicidal/apicidal capsule, enclosed in the persistent calyx; seeds smooth
 
and glabrous, or papillose or puberulent, with a central, straight embryo
 
flanked on both sides by the abundant, starchy endosperm.<ref>{{Cite book|title = Frankeniaceae|url = http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-662-07255-4_24|publisher = Springer Berlin Heidelberg|date = 2003-01-01|isbn = 978-3-642-07680-0|pages = 209-212|series = The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants|doi = 10.1007/978-3-662-07255-4_24|language = en|first = K.|last = Kubitzki|editor-first = Professor Dr Klaus|editor-last = Kubitzki|editor-first2 = Dr Clemens|editor-last2 = Bayer}}</ref>
