'''Triuridaceae''' is a family of tropical and subtropical [[flowering plants]], including nine genera with a total of ca 55 known species (Christenhusz & Byng 2016 <ref name="Christenhusz-Byng2016">{{cite journal |author1=Christenhusz, M.

All members lack chlorophyll and are mycoheterotrophic (obtain food by digesting intracellular fungi, often erroneously called 'saprophytes'). The heterotrophicphytic lifestyle of these plants has resulted in a loss of xylem vessels and stomata, and a reduction of leaves to scales.<ref name=Kew>{{cite web|title=Neotropical Triuridaceae|url=http://www.kew.org/science/tropamerica/neotropikey/families/Triuridaceae.htm|publisher=Kew Royal Botanical Gardens|accessdate=2012-10-31}}</ref>
 
 
 
The flowers of Triuridaceae have tepals which are fused at the base and contain 10 to many free carpels.
 
 
 
==Systematics==
 
 
 
The circumscription of Triuridaceae has been unstable and some taxa may be paraphyletic.<ref name=APGIII>{{cite web|title=Triuridaceae in APG III|url=http://www.mobot.org/MOBOT/research/APweb/|accessdate=2012-10-31}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Maas-van de Kamer, H.|title=The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants Vol. 3|year=1998|publisher=Springer-Verlag|location=Berlin, Germany|isbn=3-540-64060-6|author2=T. Weustenfeld |authorlink=|editor=Kubitzki, K.}}</ref>
 
 
Triuridaceae have been allied with Alismataceae (based on the free carpels) but the [[APG III system]] (2009) places them among the non-commelinid monocots, in the Order Pandanales.
 
 
 
The genus ''Lacandonia'' is sometimes placed in its own family, Lacandoniaceae.<ref name=Kew /><ref>{{cite journal|last=Martinez|first=E.|author2=C.H.

Triuridaceae are included in the Kew Royal Botanical Garden World Checklist of Selected Plant Families and were reviewed by H. Maas-van de Kamer and P. Maas-van de Kamer in 2005.<ref name=KewWCSP>{{cite web|title=Triuridaceae|url=http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/prepareChecklist.do?checklist=selected_families%40%40305311020121609585|work=World Checklist of Selected Plant Families|publisher=Kew Royal Botanical Garden|accessdate=2012-10-31}}</ref>  In this list, the genera ''[[Andruris]]'' and ''[[Hyalisma]]'' are subsumed into ''Sciaphila'' and ''[[Hexuris]]'' is subsumed into ''Peltophyllum'', but two new genera ''[[Kupea]]'' and ''[[Kihansia]]'' are included. Both genera were described (and placed in Triuridaceae) in 2003. The included genera are:
 
 
 
*''[[Kihansia]]'' Cheek
 
*''[[Kupea]]'' Cheek & S.A.Williams
 
*''[[Lacandonia]]'' E.Martínez & Ramos
 
*''[[Peltophyllum]]'' Gardner (syn. ''Hexuris'' Miers)
