	Bombacaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The name Bombacaceae is a botanical name at the rank of family and, as is true for any botanical name, circumscription and status of the taxon varies with taxonomic point of view.
		Recent phylogenetic research has shown that Bombacaceae as traditionally circumscribed is not a monophyletic group.
		Bombacaceae is not recognized by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group at the rank of family, the bulk of the taxa in question being treated as subfamily Bombacoideae within family Malvaceae sensu lato (see also Sterculiaceae and Tiliaceae).

	Classification of Malvaceae: Malvatheca
		Several taxa have been classified in either family, by various authors, up to and including all genera in which the fruit is a capsule (Hibisceae and Gossypieae) [a].
		Other elements sometimes placed in Bombacaceae are Kydia and allies, Camptostemon, Lagunaria, Gossypieae (cottons and allies) (independently of Hibisceae), and Hampea (independently of the remainder of Gossypieae).
		Bombacaceae was originally classified as a tribe, Bombaceae, in Malvaceae.

	Chorisia
		Chorisia speciosa is a member of the Bombacaceae, or cotton-tree family, which includes 30 genera and approximately 180 species, mostly large trees that grow in seasonal dry forests and grassy woodlands of the tropics and subtropics, especially in the Americas.
		Most photographed among the Bombacaceae, however, is the famous baobab or dead rat tree, Adansonia digitata, an elephantine tree of African savanna woodland with a massively enlarged, bottle-shaped, gray trunk and short, dumpy branches sticking into the air like thick roots.
		Yet this is a prime family to study for learning about the importance for survival, if any, of bark photosynthesis; the possible role of stem emergences in protecting plants from herbivores; and the influence that stem water storage has on surviving drought and initiating growth after the dry season.

	PBIO 450 Lecture Notes - Dilleniidae -- Spring 1999
		They conclude that the malvalian complex is composed of four groups (1) the four core families, Bombacaceae, Malvaceae, Sterculiaceae, Tiliaceae; (2) the bixoid families, Bixaceae, Cochlospermaceae, and Sphaerosepalaceae; (3) the thymelaealan family, Thymelaeaceae; and (4) the cistalan families Cistaceae, Dipterocarpaceae, Sarcolaenaceae and the newly proposed Muntingiaceae.
		The Bombacaceae are clearly related to the Sterculiaceae and the Malvaceae and in the past their members were frequently included in the former.
		Cronquist (1988) separates the Bombacaceae from the Malvaceae by such fine and technical differences as generally smooth or merely rugose, triaperturate pollen grains versus minutely spiny, pantoporate grains, and yet the statement "large trees" is often diagnostic enough to distinguish Bombacaceae from the herbaceous to shrubby or occasionally small-treed Malvaceae.

		Fast growth correlates with light wood and, of course, balsa wood, which is used for model airplanes and even in real airplanes, is among the lightest.
		The mostly tropical Bombacaceae, as one might guess from the flowers--whose stamens are united in a tube--are related to the Hollyhock and Hibiscus family (Malvaceae).
		Only about 25 species of Bombacaceae are found in Costa Rica, but several others besides Balsa are economically important, including Pochote (Bombacopsis quinata) and Ceiba, the Kapok tree, (Ceiba pentandra).

	Maria von Balthazar - research interests
		The delimitation of families in the core Malvales has traditionally been problematic, and taxa have often been moved between the Bombacaceae, Malvaceae, Sterculiaceae, and Tiliaceae.
		One of the newly recognized monophyletic groups was named Malvatheca and comprises the traditional Bombacaceae (except for Durioneae), traditional Malvaceae, and some taxa of uncertain affinities (e.g., Fremontodendron, traditionally Sterculiaceae, and Pentaplaris, traditionally Tiliaceae).
		Stamen number and arrangement, level of filament union, and anther structure are highly variable within the Malvatheca clade.

	Malvaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This definition of the family unites the core Malvales of the Cronquist system, including Bombacaceae, Malvaceae s.s.
		The most recent version of the Thorne system takes an intermediate approach in combining Bombacaceae and Sterculiaceae under Malvaceae, but retaining Byttneriaceae (containing elements of the traditional Sterculiaceae and Tiliaceae) and a considerably restricted Tiliaceae as separate families.

	Kapok tree, Bombax ceiba
		The kapok tree, Bombax ceiba (family Bombacaceae), is a type of native cotton tree with large red flowers.
		It is a lowland tree found in several coastal habitats: in coastal vine thickets, on dunes or cliffs above the beach or around lowland streams.
		For more information on plant food and the traditional subsistence of Aboriginal people in central Cape York Peninsula, see the Edible plant products page.
