-The '''Caricaceae''' are a [[family (biology)|family]] of [[flowering plant]]s in the order [[Brassicales]],<ref>{{cite journal|url=http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1095-8339.2009.00996.x/abstract|title=An update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants: APG III.|journal=Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society |volume=161 |issue=2 |pages=105–121 |year=2009|doi=10.1111/j.1095-8339.2009.00996.x}}</ref> found primarily in [[tropical]] regions of [[Central America|Central]] and [[South America]] and [[Africa]]. They are short-lived [[evergreen]] [[pachycaul]] [[shrub]]s or small [[tree]]s growing to 5–10 m tall. One species, ''[[Vasconcellea horovitziana]]''  is a liana and the three species of the genus ''[[Jarilla (genus)|Jarilla]]'' are herbs.<ref>{{cite journal| url=http://www.pensoft.net/journals/phytokeys/article/6103/abstract/correct-names-for-some-of-the-closest-relatives-of-carica-papaya-a-review-of-the-mexican-guatemalan|title=Correct names for some of the closest relatives of ''Carica papaya'': A review of the Mexican/Guatemalan genera ''Jarilla'' and ''Horovitzia''|journal=Phytokeys|year=2013}}</ref> Many species bear edible [[fruit]] and are source of [[papain]] [http://herbaria.plants.ox.ac.uk/bol/caricaceae].
-Based on molecular analyses, this family has been proposed to have originated in [[Africa]] in the early [[Cenozoic]] era, ~66 million years ago (mya). The dispersal from Africa to [[Central America]] occurred ~35 mya, possibly via ocean currents from the [[Democratic Republic of the Congo|Congo]] delta. From Central America, the family reached [[South America]] 19-27 mya.<ref>{{cite journal|title=A dated phylogeny of the papaya family (Caricaceae) reveals the crop’s closest relatives and the family’s biogeographic history|journal=Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution|year=2012|doi=10.1016/j.ympev.2012.05.019|volume=65|pages=46–53|pmid=22659516 | last1 = Carvalho | first1 = FA | last2 = Renner | first2 = SS}}</ref>
-The family comprises six genera and about 34-35 species:
-*''[[Carica]]'' – one species, ''[[Papaya|Carica papaya]]'' ([[Papaya]]), Americas
-*''[[Cylicomorpha]]'' – two species, Africa
-*''[[Horovitzia]]'' – one species, Mexico
-*''[[Jacaratia]]'' – eight species, Americas
-*''[[Jarilla (genus)|Jarilla]]'' – three species, Americas
-*''[[Vasconcellea]]'' – twenty species, Americas
