'''Nyctaginaceae''', the four o'clock family, is a family of around 33 genera and 290 species of [[flowering plant]]s, widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, with a few representatives in temperate regions. The family has a unique fruit type, called an "[[anthocarp]]", and many genera have extremely large (>100 [[µm]]) pollen grains.
 
 
 
The family has been almost universally recognized by plant taxonomists. The [[APG II system]] (2003; unchanged from the [[APG system]] of 1998), assigns it to the order [[Caryophyllales]] in the clade [[core eudicots]].
 
 
 
A phylogenetic study by Levin has justified the combination of ''Selinocarpus'' and ''Ammocodon'' into the genus ''[[Acleisanthes]]''.  The genus ''Izabalea'' is now considered a synonym of ''[[Agonandra]]'', a genus in [[Opiliaceae]].  A more recent study by Douglas and Manos clarified the relationships among almost all of the genera in the family and demonstrated that a substantial diversification of herbaceous genera has occurred in arid North America.  Many genera of Nyctaginaceae possess unusual characters. Notable examples include sticky bands on the stems between the nodes, [[cleistogamous]] flowers (which self-pollinate without opening), or [[gypsophily]], the ability to grow on soils with a high concentration of [[gypsum]].

==Uses==
 
The family contains one food crop, the [[mauka]] (''Mirabilis extensa''), a [[root vegetable]] of minor local importance in the [[Andes]]. Garden Four-O'Clocks ''[[Mirabilis jalapa]]''  species are grown as [[ornamental plant]]s, as are species of ''[[Bougainvillea]]'' (''Bougainvillea glabra, B. spectabilis'', and numerous hybrids), ''[[Bougainvillea]]'' and ''[[Abronia (plant)|Abronia]]'' are commonly cultivated in warmer regions.
