The Thymelaeaceae are a cosmopolitan family of flowering plants composed of 50 genera (listed below) and 898 species.〔Zachary S. Rogers (2009 onwards). (A World Checklist of Thymelaeaceae (version 1) ). Missouri Botanical Garden Website, St. Louis.〕 It was established in 1789 by Antoine Laurent de Jussieu.〔Antoine Laurent de Jussieu ''Genera Plantarum'', page 76. Herrisant & Barrois, Paris.〕 The Thymelaeaceae are in the order Malvales.〔Peter F. Stevens (2001 onwards) Angiosperm Phylogeny Website In: Missouri Botanical Garden Website〕 Except for a sister relationship with Tepuianthaceae, little is known for sure about their relationships with the other families in the order.〔Clemens Bayer, Michael F. Fay, Anette Y. de Bruijn, Vincent Savolainen, Cynthia M. Morton, Klaus Kubitzki, William S. Alverson, and Mark W. Chase (1999). "Support for an expanded family concept of Malvaceae within a recircumscribed order Malvales: a combined analysis of plastid atpB and rbcL DNA sequences". ''Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society'' 129(4): 267-381〕 The family is more diverse in the southern hemisphere than in the northern, with a major concentrations of species in Africa and Australia.〔Vernon H. Heywood, Richard K. Brummitt, Alastair Culham, and Ole Seberg. ''Flowering Plant Families of the World''. Firefly Books: Ontario, Canada (2007)〕 The genera are overwhelmingly African 〔Marline Rautenbach. Figure 1.2, page 7 In: "Gnidia is not monophyletic: taxonomic implications for Gnidia and its relatives in Thymelaeoideae" Digispace at the University of Johannesburg. 8 Jul 2008. (see External links below).〕 The Thymelaeaceae are mostly trees and shrubs, with a few vines and herbaceous plants. Several genera are of economic importance. ''Gonystylus'' (Ramin) is valued for its hard, white wood. The bark of ''Edgeworthia'' and ''Wikstroemia'' is used as a component of paper, while ''Lagetta'' species are known as lacebark for their lacelike inner bark, which has been used to make clothing and utilitarian objects. ''Daphne'' is grown for its sweetly scented flowers. Species of ''Wikstroemia'', ''Daphne'', ''Phaleria'', ''Dais'', ''Pimelea'' and other genera are grown as ornamentals.〔George W. Staples and Derral R. Herbst. 2005. "A Tropical Garden Flora". Bishop Museum Press: Honolulu. ISBN 978-1-58178-039-0.〕〔Marline Rautenbach. "Gnidia is not monophyletic: taxonomic implications for Gnidia and its relatives in Thymelaeoideae". Digispace at the University of Johannesburg 8 Jul 2008. (see External links below)〕 Many of the species are poisonous if eaten. A good collection of pictures of plants in this family has appeared in a scientific paper.〔 Herber (2003)〔B.E. Herber. "Thymelaeaceae" In: ''The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants vol.V'' (Klaus Kubitzki and Clemens Bayer, volume editors). Springer-Verlag: Berlin, Heidelberg (2003)〕 recognized 45 genera, excluding ''Tepuianthus'' from the family, sinking ''Atemnosiphon'' and ''Englerodaphne'' into ''Gnidia'', ''Eriosolena'' into ''Daphne'', and ''Thecanthes'' into ''Pimelea''.〔 The largest genera and the approximate number of species in each are ''Gnidia'' (160), ''Pimelea'' (110), ''Daphne'' (95), ''Wikstroemia'' (70), ''Daphnopsis'' (65), ''Struthiola'' (35), ''Lachnaea'' (30), ''Thymelaea'' (30), ''Phaleria'' (30), and ''Gonystylus'' (25).〔 == Genera == , 50 genera are accepted by the World Checklist of Thymelaceae: In the past, different authors have defined Thymelaeaceae in different ways. For example, John Hutchinson excluded ''Gonystylus'' and its close relatives, as well as ''Aquilaria'' and its close relatives from the family, forming 2 segregate families: Gonystylaceae and Aquilariaceae.〔Hutchinson,John. ''The Families of Flowering Plants, Third Edition (1973)''. Oxford University Press: London.〕 But today, the only controversy that still remains over the circumscription of the family is the question of whether ''Tepuianthus'' should be included, or segregated as a separate, monogeneric family.〔Horn,J.W., (2004). "The morphology and relationships of the Sphaerosepalaceae(Malvales)". ''Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society'' 144(1):1-40〕 Stevens includes ''Tepuianthus'', but Kubitzki treats Tepuianthaceae as a separate family.〔Klaus Kubitzki.
