The '''Lecythidaceae''' comprise a [[family (biology)|family]] of about 20 genera and 250-300 species of [[woody plant]]s native to tropical [[South America]] and [[Madagascar]].
 
 
 
According to the most recent molecular analysis of Lecythidaceae by Mori ''et al.'' (2007),<ref>{{Cite journal | last1 = Mori | first1 = S.

*'''Foetidioideae''' ([[Foetidiaceae]]) from Madagascar include only ''[[Foetidia]]''.
 
*'''Planchonioideae''' (including [[Barringtoniaceae]]) are restricted to the Old World tropics.
 
*'''Lecythidoideae''' (Lecythidaceae) are restricted to the New World tropics.
 
 
 
Two other families are sometimes included in Lecythidaceae; the [[Scytopetalaceae]] and [[Napoleonaeaceae]] are hypothesized as most closely related to Lecythidaceae.
 
 
 
More detailed information about Lecythidaceae, especially the New World taxa, can be found at the [http://sweetgum.nybg.org/lp/index.html Lecythidaceae Pages].
 
 
 
The most important member of the family in world trade is the [[Brazil nut]] (''Bertholletia excelsa''), valued for its edible [[nut (fruit)|nuts]]; the [[paradise nut]] (''Lecythis'' species) is also eaten.
 
 
 
The [[APG II system]] of 2003 includes genera from the family [[Scytopetalaceae]] in the Lecythidaceae, including ''[[Rhaptopetalum]]'' and ''[[Brazzeia]]''. ''Careya'' is called ''pezham'' in Malayalam.
