Grewioideae is a subfamily of the family Malvaceae and was first described by Hochreutiner.[1] The group is named after its type genus, Grewia,[2] which is named for the English scientist Nehemiah Grew (1641–1712). It contains a number of genera that were previously placed in the defunct family Tiliaceae.
