  Hippocastanaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hippocastanaceae is a small family, with the most widespread genus Aesculus (the horsechestnuts), which today is taken to include Pavia (the buckeyes).
However, the American genus Billia and the Chinese genus Handeliodendron should also be members of the family.
The family is closely related to the large, mostly tropical family Sapindaceae, and these days it is common for both Aceraceae and Hippocastanaceae to be included in the Sapindaceae s.l.

 Aesculus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They have traditionally been treated in their own monogeneric family Hippocastanaceae, but genetic evidence shows that this family, along with the maples (formerly Aceraceae), are better included in the soapberry family (Sapindaceae).
Current evidence shows that both Aceraceae and Hippocastanaceae are monophyletic, so they could be kept separate from Sapindaceae; it is a matter of taxonomic style.
The North American species are known as Buckeyes and the Eurasian species as Horse-chestnuts.

Three genera and 15 species: Asia (Himalayas to Japan), SE Europe, North America, also Central and South America (Billia); two genera (one endemic) and five species (two endemic, two introduced) in China.
