14-541: Sabiaceae is a family of flowering plants that were placed in the order Proteales according to the APG IV system . It comprises three genera , Meliosma , Ophiocaryon and Sabia , with 66 known species , native to tropical to warm temperate regions of southern Asia and the Americas . The family has also been called Meliosmaceae Endl. , 1841, nom. rej. The anthesis is extremely short. The anthers open within

28-457: A consensus over time. The naming of families is codified by various international bodies using the following suffixes: The taxonomic term familia was first used by French botanist Pierre Magnol in his Prodromus historiae generalis plantarum, in quo familiae plantarum per tabulas disponuntur (1689) where he called the seventy-six groups of plants he recognised in his tables families ( familiae ). The concept of rank at that time

42-446: A family, yet in the realm of plants, these classifications often rely on both the vegetative and reproductive characteristics of plant species. Taxonomists frequently hold varying perspectives on these descriptions, leading to a lack of widespread consensus within the scientific community for extended periods. The continual publication of new data and diverse opinions plays a crucial role in facilitating adjustments and ultimately reaching

56-651: A limited use in gardening and horticulture. The fossil genus Insitiocarpus has been found in deposits from the Cenomanian period, while the other extant genera Sabia and Meliosma have been found in European deposits from the Turonian and the Maastrichtian , respectively. The appearance of the first Sabiaceae has been dated to 122–118 million years ago. Sabia macrofossils have been recovered from

70-685: Is completely original. Based on molecular and morphological data, the APW (Angiosperm Phylogeny Website) considers that they form part of the order Proteales , one of four families that includes the Proteaceae , the Nelumbonaceae , and the Platanaceae (cf. AP-website ). In the Cronquist system the family was placed in the order Ranunculales , but more recent classifications place it as

84-494: The Genera Plantarum of George Bentham and Joseph Dalton Hooker this word ordo was used for what now is given the rank of family. Families serve as valuable units for evolutionary, paleontological, and genetic studies due to their relatively greater stability compared to lower taxonomic levels like genera and species. Subfamily Detarioideae is an example of a botanical subfamily. Detarioideae

98-514: The book's morphological section, where he delved into discussions regarding the vegetative and generative aspects of plants. Subsequently, in French botanical publications, from Michel Adanson 's Familles naturelles des plantes (1763) and until the end of the 19th century, the word famille was used as a French equivalent of the Latin ordo (or ordo naturalis ). In zoology ,

112-414: The bud, but enclosed in the staminodes. On maturing the bud opens explosively at the smallest touch releasing the pollen into the air. Plants from this genus live in humid areas along rivers, in tropical forests or in warm temperatures. Cyanolipids absent. Pentacyclic triterpenoids , flavonols , proanthocyanidins and tannins present. The plants are not cyanogenetic. Some species of Meliosma have

126-540: The family as a rank intermediate between order and genus was introduced by Pierre André Latreille in his Précis des caractères génériques des insectes, disposés dans un ordre naturel (1796). He used families (some of them were not named) in some but not in all his orders of "insects" (which then included all arthropods ). In nineteenth-century works such as the Prodromus of Augustin Pyramus de Candolle and

140-561: The genera Meliosma and Ophiocaryon are trees and shrubs; the latter two are sometimes treated in a separate family Meliosmaceae. The family includes three genera that can be distinguished as follows: Family (biology) Family ( Latin : familia , pl. : familiae ) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy . It is classified between order and genus . A family may be divided into subfamilies , which are intermediate ranks between

154-470: The late Zanclean stage of Pliocene sites in Pocapaglia , Italy . The Sabiaceae are a group of flowering plants that are included in the eudicots clade, where they form part of the basal level. In this regard they are similar to the Proteaceae , with which they share, for example, a nectariferous hypogynous disc, although they differ in the number of floral parts and the radial pentameric symmetry

168-491: The ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae , but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". The delineation of what constitutes a family— or whether a described family should be acknowledged— is established and decided upon by active taxonomists . There are not strict regulations for outlining or acknowledging

182-529: The sole family in the order Sabiales , or (as in the APG II system and APG III system ), as unplaced to order and left among the basal lineages of the eudicots . The Angiosperm Phylogeny Website , however, suggests the addition of Sabiaceae to the eudicot order Proteales would be sensible. This was done in the APG IV system . The family consists of three genera , together about 160 species of woody plants. The genus Sabia often are lianas, while those in

196-488: Was not yet settled, and in the preface to the Prodromus Magnol spoke of uniting his families into larger genera , which is far from how the term is used today. In his work Philosophia Botanica published in 1751, Carl Linnaeus employed the term familia to categorize significant plant groups such as trees , herbs , ferns , palms , and so on. Notably, he restricted the use of this term solely within
