Sparrmanniaceae

Crossberry, Grewia occidentalis

Sparrmanniaceae is a segregate, probably obsolete, plant family, containing plants which have more commonly been classified in Malvaceae or Tiliaceae.

In the most recent proposed circumscription, that of Cheek ex Heywood et al.,[1] it corresponds to subfamily Grewioideae of the APG family Malvaceae.[2]

Genera formerly included in the Sparrmanniaceae:
