	Acanthaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Family Acanthaceae (or Acanthus family) is a taxon of dicotyledonous flowering plants containing almost 250 genera and about 2500 species.
		Avicennia, usually placed in Verbenaceae or in its own family, Avicenniaceae, is included in Acanthaceae by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group on the basis of molecular phylogenies that show it to be associated with this family.

	DANIEL, THOMAS F.
		Systematic relationships among various African (including Malagasy) and American (including West Indian) Acanthaceae recently have been shown to be closer than previously believed; several pairs of amphiatlantic genera, formerly treated as endemic to their respective hemispheres, have been shown to be congeneric.
		It appears to be the only species of Acanthaceae thought to be native to both Africa and America and, indeed, to both the Old World and the New World.
		The present phytogeographic links among Acanthaceae in Africa, Madagascar, India, and South America are indicative of a "Gondwanan" distribution pattern for the family and suggest an early radiation in southern land masses.

		There was general agreement that, in addition to arranging sessions on Acanthaceae at regularly scheduled national and international meetings, we should organize a stand-alone conference in an acanth-rich venue (field trips!).
		In Bhutan it was virtually impossible to find an Acanthaceae in flower in the May, June period at the onset of the monsoon except in the climbing genus Thunbergia.
		The Acanthaceae, although such an important component of the world's flora, are not usually seen to be of economic importance to people, except as ornamental plants.

	Lamiales (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Plocospermataceae are shrubby plants that may be recognised by their rather small, opposite leaves that are articulated near the base of the petiole, and their quite large, polysymmetric, campanulate-rotate flowers with versatile, extrorse anthers and a twice-divided style.
		In other taxa like Acanthaceae there are no septal bundles, the gynoecial vasculature forming a sort of circle as a result (there are of course placental bundles: see Wortley et al.
		As their distinctive alternative name Labiatae implies, Lamiaceae have always considered to be "eminently natural", being immediately recognisable because of their paired, serrate leaves, square stems, monosymmetric flowers, gynobasic style, and four nutlets, but the gynobasic style and the four nutlets have evolved more than once (Cantino 1992a).

	Acanthaceae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Acanthaceae family encompasses some 240 to 250 genera with approximately 2,500 species, found in tropical regions of both hemispheres.
		The plants can exist as trees or can be reduced to mere shrubs or bushes with or without spines.
		The fruits exist in the form of bilocular capsules, but very rarely are these unilocular, indehiscent and in the form of drupes.
