Lophiocarpaceae

Classification System: APG IV

Superregnum: Eukaryota
Regnum: Plantae
Cladus: Angiosperms
Cladus: Eudicots
Cladus: Core eudicots
Ordo: Caryophyllales

Familia: Lophiocarpaceae
Genera: Corbichonia – Lophiocarpus
Name

Lophiocarpaceae Doweld & Reveal Phytologia 90(3): 416 (-417). (2008)

Type genus: Lophiocarpus Turcz. Bull. Soc. Imp. Naturalistes Moscou 16: 55. (1843)

Note: "Corbichoniaceae are not recognized, pending development of a consensus; two families for two genera seems a bit much, despite their differences c.f. Thulin et al. 2016" (Stevens et al. 2017) and so Corbichonia is retained here until consensus is reached.

The Lophiocarpaceae are a family of flowering plants comprising mostly succulent subshrubs and herbaceous species native to tropical to southern sub-Saharan Africa to western India. It includes the genera Corbichonia and Lophiocarpus.[3] The family is newly recognized through research by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group III system to deal with long-standing phylogenetic difficulties in placing various genera within the Caryophyllales.[4]
