Philesiaceae is a family of flowering plants , including two genera, each with a single species.[ 2] The members of the family are woody shrubs or vines endemic to southern Chile .[ 3] [ 4]
The APG III system , of 2009 (unchanged from the APG II system of 2003 and the APG system , of 1998) places the family in the order Liliales , in the clade monocots . They are a sister to the family Ripogonaceae which is endemic to Australia, New Zealand and New Guinea.[ 5]
