Tiliaceae is a botanical name for a family of flowering plants. A botanical name is a formal scientific name conforming to the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN and if the plant is a Cultigen, the The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group Such a family is not part of APG II, but it is found all through the botanical literature and remains prominently listed by nomenclatural databases such as IPNI. The International Plant Names Index (IPNI is a Database of botanical names

All through its existence the family has had a very lively history, with various authors taking very different views on what should be part of this family. As a result it is recommended when this name is encountered to be careful to check what an author means when he uses this name.

However, in the northern temperate regions the name is unambiguous as the only representative is Tilia, the lime or linden. Tilia is a Genus of about 30 species of Trees native throughout most of the temperate Northern Hemisphere, in Asia (where the greatest Tilia is a Genus of about 30 species of Trees native throughout most of the temperate Northern Hemisphere, in Asia (where the greatest Tilia is a Genus of about 30 species of Trees native throughout most of the temperate Northern Hemisphere, in Asia (where the greatest

Tiliaceae in the de Candolle system

In the de Candolle system the circumscription of the family was:

According to APG II system, the current placement of these genera is mostly in the 'new' Malvaceae sensu lato, but with Gyrostemon moved to family Gyrostemonaceae, Muntingia to family Muntingiaceae, Sloanea to family Elaeocarpaceae, Vatica to family Dipterocarpaceae and Wikstroemia to family Thymelaeaceae (possibly reduced to a synonym of Daphne). Malvaceae, or the mallow family, is a family of Flowering plants containing over 200 genera with close to 2300 species Muntingia calabura, the sole species in the genus Muntingia, is a Flowering plant native to southern Mexico, the Caribbean Muntingiaceae is a family of flowering plants, belonging to the rosid order Malvales. UserPolbot. --> Sloanea is a genus of Plant in family Elaeocarpaceae. Elaeaocarpaceae is a family of Flowering plants The family contains 605 Species of Trees and Shrubs in 12 genera. UserPolbot. --> Vatica is a genus of Plant in family Dipterocarpaceae. Dipterocarpaceae is a family of 17 genera and approximately 500 species of mainly Tropical lowland Rainforest Trees The family name from Wikstroemia is a Genus of Flowering plants in the family Thymelaeaceae. Thymelaeaceae is a family of Flowering plants with about 700-750 species in 50 genera DAPHNE is an Arcade emulator application that emulates a variety of Laserdisc video games with the intent of preserving these games and making The genus Abatia is assigned to the 'new' family Salicaceae sensu lato. Abatia ( syn Raleighia Gardner) is a Genus of about nine species of Central and South American Trees Salicaceae is a family of Flowering plants Recent genetic studies by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG has greatly expanded the circumscription

Bentham & Hooker system

The family reached perhaps its widest circumscription in the Bentham & Hooker system:

According to APG II system, the current placement of these genera is perhaps mostly in the 'new' Malvaceae sensu lato, but with Muntingia moved to family Muntingiaceae, while tribes VI and VII form the core of family Elaeocarpaceae and tribe V has been moved to the 'new' family Salicaceae sensu lato. Malvaceae, or the mallow family, is a family of Flowering plants containing over 200 genera with close to 2300 species Muntingia calabura, the sole species in the genus Muntingia, is a Flowering plant native to southern Mexico, the Caribbean Muntingiaceae is a family of flowering plants, belonging to the rosid order Malvales. Elaeaocarpaceae is a family of Flowering plants The family contains 605 Species of Trees and Shrubs in 12 genera. Salicaceae is a family of Flowering plants Recent genetic studies by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG has greatly expanded the circumscription

The Hutchinson system follows the Bentham & Hooker system rather closely.

Cronquist system

In the Cronquist system (1981) the family includes some fifty genera, totalling around seven hundred species of trees and shrubs, rarely herbs, with a subcosmopolitan distribution. A system of plant taxonomy, the Cronquist system is a scheme for the classification of flowering plants (or Angiosperms) It may be separated from Malvaceae sensu stricto by the smooth surface of the pollen grains, bilocular anthers, and the stamens free or in bundles (but not monadelphous)

APG II system

The APG II system, does not recognise this as a family but submerges it in the Malvaceae sensu lato, which unites the four families Bombacaceae, Malvaceae sensu stricto, Sterculiaceae and Tiliaceae. Malvaceae, or the mallow family, is a family of Flowering plants containing over 200 genera with close to 2300 species The name Bombacaceae is a Botanical name at the rank of family which is now widely considered obsolete Malvaceae, or the mallow family, is a family of Flowering plants containing over 200 genera with close to 2300 species Sterculiaceae is a Botanical name for a group of Flowering plants at the rank of family which is now widely considered obsolete Modern botanical taxonomy, such as the relevant volume in the Kubitzki series which conforms to APG, treats most of the plants that traditionally constitute the family (see above) in the subfamilies Tilioideae, Brownlowioideae, and Grewioideae within this extended family Malvaceae sensu lato. A system of plant taxonomy, the Kubitzki system was published in The system is important as being a comprehensive multivolume treatment of the Tilioideae is a Botanical name at the rank of Subfamily. systems of plant classification, among which is the Grewioideae is a subfamily of the Malvaceae family The group is named for English scientist Nehemiah Grew (1641-1712 Cladistically, the traditional family Tiliaceae is polyphyletic.
