The family Pandaceae consists of three genera that were formerly recognized in the Euphorbiaceae. Those are:
- Galearia (from tribe Galearieae, subfamily Acalyphoideae, family Euphorbiaceae)
- Microdesmis (from tribe Galearieae, subfamily Acalyphoideae, family Euphorbiaceae)
- Panda (from tribe Galearieae, subfamily Acalyphoideae, family Euphorbiaceae)
These genera contain 17 species,[2] which especially live in West Africa or Southeast Asia.[3]
Species in this family are dioecious trees or shrubs, with alternate, simple leaves.[4]
The genus Centroplacus was formerly included in the Pandaceae and had also been recognized in the tribe Centroplaceae, family Phyllanthaceae). The APG III system recognized this genus as a part of the family Centroplacaceae.[1]
