- Phylogeny of the Celastraceae inferred from morphology and nuclear and plastid loci.
Phylogenetic relationships within the Celastraceae were inferred from a simultaneous analysis of morphological characters and sequence-based characters from the 5' end of 26S nuclear ribosomal DNA, the first exon of phytochrome B, rbcL, and atpB.
Kokoona and Lophopetalum are resolved as "transitional genera" between the Celastraceae sensu stricto and the Hippocrateaceae.

 PBIO 450 Lecture Notes - Rosidae -- Spring 1998
Celastraceae (including or excluding Goupiaceae, Lophopyxidaceae and Hippocrateaceae) and Stackhousiaceae are accepted by all so that basically only three of the twelve Cronquistian families seem firmly places in the Celastrales.
The total array of families in the broad sense, using Cronquist's nomenclature, are the Celastraceae, Hippocrateaceae, Stackhousiaceae, Salvadoraceae, Aquifoliaceae, Icacinaceae, Cardiopteridaceae and Corynocarpaceae, or eight of the 12 families.
The flowers, however, are typical of Celastraceae and the fruit falls well within the range of variation for the family although the large size and the woodiness of the capsule is somewhat unexpected.

Nonconiferous trees that are called white cedar include the chinaberry and some members of the flowering plant families Bignoniaceae, Celastraceae, Myristicaceae, Burseraceae, and Dipterocarpaceae.
The genus Celastrus, in the staff tree family (Celastraceae), includes the American bittersweet, or staff vine (C. scandens), and the Oriental bittersweet (C. orbiculatus), woody vines grown as ornamentals.
The flowers, in whitish clusters, are followed by yellow to orange capsules, which split to reveal yellow to crimson arils...

The Celastraceae are trees and shrubs comprising about 50 genera and 800 species that are sometimes climbing or vining.
The leaves are simple and alternate or opposite; stipules are small and caducous or absent.
Note minute stipules in first photo; alternate stamens and conspicuous nectary disk in second photo.

The Celastraceae is is primarily a family of tropical and subtropical regions, but it is represented in northern Utah by Pachystima in the hills and Euonymus in gardens.
All members of the Celastraceae are woody, being trees, shrubs, or vines.
The economic importance of the Celastraceae in North America is probably primarily horticultural, Euonymous frequently being planted for the color of its fall foliage and fruits.

 Three new species of Celastraceae from Costa Rica, one disjunct from Mexico
Three species of Celastraceae, each represented by many collections from Costa Rica, are compared to near relatives and found to be new: Gymnosporia haberiana Hammel, disjunct from Mexico and Costa Rica, Maytenus recondita Hammel, of Costa Rica and Panama, and Crossopetalum enervium Hammel, of Costa Rica.
In these respects the Costa Rican (and Mexican) tree can be distinguished from other alternate-leaved Celastraceae and coincides perfectly with two South American species recently described in or transferred to the genus Gymnosporia (Lundell, 1985; Liesner, 1993).

 UNODC - Bulletin on Narcotics - 1958 Issue 2 - 006
Catha edulis Forssk belongs to the Celastraceae family and, a neighbouring species of the Evonymus, it is the sole representative of the genus Catha.
The Swedish botanist Forsskal, the explorer of lower Egypt and Arabia, was the first to mention this plant, which he called gat or khat.
Mustard [(12)] determined the ascorbic acid content, which is fairly high in the leaves (324 mg- 100 g) and twigs (138 mg-100 g), and which perhaps plays a role in the tonic action of the drug [(25)].

 SIMMONS, MARK P.* AND JENNIFER P. HEDIN.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Celastraceae sensu lato (including Hippocrateaceae) are a principally pantropical family of woody lianas, shrubs, and trees with several subtropical and fewer temperate members.
Characters that have been used to distinguish Hippocrateaceae from Celastraceae sensu stricto are stamens three (rarely two or five) instead of four or five, filaments connate at the base and recurved as opposed to distinct and often incurved, and seed with endosperm versus without endosperm.
Hippocrateaceae, which has been suggested by N.K.B. Robson to have two independent origins within Celastraceae based on the disparate fruit types of the Salacia and Hippocratea groups, is found to have a unique origin within Celastraceae.

 Celastraceae   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
La familia de las Celastraceae recoge cerca de 360 especies leñosas con hojas dispuestas helicoidalmente o, raramente, opuestas, sin estípulas; la mayoría son de las zonas tropicales y subtropicales.
Las flores dispuestas en cimas, son hermafroditas (raramente unisexuales), con perianto formado por 4 (5) sépalos y 4 (5) pétalos libres, insertados en la base de un disco plano sobre el que se asienta el androceo, con 4 (5) estambres alternos con los pétalos.
Las Celastraceae son muy utilizadas como plantas ornamentales, como ocurre con Euonymus japonicus, apreciado por la hojas coriáceas, lustrosas y muy abigarradas.
