Muntingiaceae C. Bayer, M.W. Chase & M.F. Fay
LSID none
Bayer C, Chase M W, Fay M F (1998) Muntingiaceae, a new family of dicotyledons with Malvalean affinities, Taxon, International Association for Plant Taxonomy, Vienna, Vol. 47(1): 38
Number of species: 2
Muntingia calabura L., Dicraspidia donnell-smithii Standl.
Problem
Bayer etal. (1998) paper does not discuss the placement of the following species in this family:
Muntingia bartramia L., Muntingia calabura L. var. trinitensis Griseb., Muntingia glabra Spreng., Muntingia rosea H. Karst. Also I have not added Neotessmannia uniflora Burret as the authors suggest further investigation is required.
