| − | The '''Dioncophyllaceae''' are a [[family (biology)|family]] of [[flowering plants]] consisting of three species of lianas native to the [[rainforest]]s of western Africa.
| + | {{inedible family}} |
| − | | |
| − | Their closest relatives are [[Ancistrocladaceae]]. Both families lie within a clade of mostly carnivorous plants which, since 1998 or so, have been moved to the order Caryophyllales. This clade also includes the families [[Droseraceae]] (sundews and Venus' flytrap) and [[Nepenthaceae]] (an Old World genus of pitcher plants),<ref name="cuenoud">{{citation | doi = 10.3732/ajb.89.1.132 | title = Molecular phylogenetics of Caryophyllales based on nuclear 18S rDNA and plastid rbcL, atpB, and matK DNA sequences | year = 2002 | author = Cuenoud, P. | journal = American Journal of Botany | volume = 89 | issue = 1 | pages = 132 | last2 = Savolainen | first2 = V. | last3 = Chatrou | first3 = L.

| − | All species in the family are [[liana]]s at some point in their lifecycles, and climb by the use of pairs of hooks or tendrils formed by the end of the [[leaf]] [[midrib]]s. The best-known member is the carnivorous ''[[Triphyophyllum peltatum]]'', although the family contains two other species: ''Habropetalum dawei'' and ''Dioncophyllum thollonii''.

| − | | |
| − | The [[Cronquist system]] (1981) had placed the family in order [[Violales]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The [[APG II system]], of 2003 (unchanged from the [[APG system]], of 1998), does recognize this family and assigns it to the order [[Caryophyllales]] in the clade [[core eudicots]].
