  Cunoniaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cunoniaceae is a family of 26 genera and about 350 species of woody plants in the Antarctic flora, native to Australia, New Caledonia, New Guinea, New Zealand, southern South America, the Mascarene Islands and southern Africa.
The fruit is usually a woody capsule containing several small seeds; the seeds have an oily endosperm.
The familes Baueraceae, Davidsoniaceae and Eucryphiaceae, previously regarded as distinct, are now included in the Cunoniaceae.

 Abstracts
The fossil record of the flowering plant family Cunoniaceae is comprehensively examined and reviewed using detailed studies of the morphology of extant Cunoniaceae with new macrofossil species described from Australian Cainozoic sediments.
Eleven of the 26 extant Cunoniaceae genera are represented in the macrofossil record and include leaves and leaf fragments, foliar cuticle and reproductive structures.
Cunoniaceae fossil pollen is widely documented across the Southern Hemisphere but is less informative due to the low taxonomic resolution of its identification.

 BoDD (Botanical Dermatology Database) - CUNONIACEAE
Mabberley (1997) regards the Cunoniaceae as comprising 340 species of trees, shrubs, and climbers in 19 genera.
Members of the Cunoniaceae are found mainly in the Southern Hemisphere, and in particular in Australia, New Guinea, and New Caledonia.

A phylogeny and revised classification of the flowering plant family Cunoniaceae and related taxa is presented.
Within Cunoniaceae, the New Guinean-South Pacific genera Acsmithia and Spiraeanthemum form a sister clade to the rest of family.
Within this larger clade is a basal grade in which flowers mature centrifugally on an inflorescence axis, and a clade in which flowers mature synchronously to acropetally on an inflorescence axis.

A timely coincidence was the recovery of well preserved fossil flowers from the Late Cretaceous of Sweden by JS and EMF that share many features with both Anisophylleaceae and Cunoniaceae (but have been placed in Cunoniaceae based on some specific traits of the gynoecium).
Combined, these results suggest either that Anisophylleaceae and Cunoniaceae are more closely related than previously assumed, or if not, that they exhibit either an unusual number of symplesiomorphic features of basal rosids, or that their floral features are the result of a striking convergent evolution.
In either case, it is apparent that more extensive molecular studies are needed, and if these studies confirm the current disparate position of the families, an investigation of the significance of the suite of common structural features should be made.

Weinmannia (Cunoniaceae) is a woody genus of about 150 species widely distributed in the tropics and the southern temperate zone.
Herbarium and living specimens were examined to determine characters for a cladistic analysis to test the monophyly of the genus and its sections.
Heterotopic evolution in the inflorescence is common in Weinmannia, suggesting a role for an evolutionary-developmental process that has typically been overlooked in favor of heterochrony.

Under the concept that Brunellia belongs to the Cunoniaceae rather than being separated in Brunelliaceae; this paper principally examines the systematic position of Brunellia by studying the phylogentic relationships of this taxon with eleven ingroup taxa representing Cunoniaceae and twenty characters.
Results showed that Brunellia does not belong to Cunoniaceae and Cunoniaceae is not a monophyletic group.I propos that Brunellia, and Spiraeanthemun and Acsmithia belong in different family from Cunoniaceae.
The monophyly of Cunoniaceae is also doubtful because some of its genera are nested with Davidsonia.

The results reported cover 20 genera of the Cunoniaceae and the two monotypic families Davidsoniaceae and Eucryphiaceae, each closely related to the Cunoniaceae.
In the Cunoniaceae these results have been compared with published information on the family and with features revealed by examination of the available species from other parts of the world.
A grouping of the genera of the Cunoniaceae based on their wood anatomy is given for diagnostic purposes and for comparison with botanical grouping.
