Samydaceae

Casearia fuliginosa

Samydaceae is a family of tropical and subtropical woody plants, its best known genus being Casearia. It has always been of uncertain placement, in the past usually being submerged in the family Flacourtiaceae.

A 2002 paper included the Samydaceae in the family Salicaceae,[1] a placement accepted in the APG III system onwards[2] and also by Plants of the World Online as of March 2021.[3] This placement has by no means been universally accepted.[4]
