The family Monimiaceae is grouped in the Laurales and is thought to be most closely related to the families Lauraceae and Hernandiaceae (1,2).
Species of Monimiaceae are distributed in the tropics and subtropics of the southern hemisphere and are mainly trees or shrubs, with some lianes (3,4).
Although there is reliable fossil pollen of the Monimiaceae only to the Oligocène (4), the family is thought to be of more ancient lineage and amongst the oldest known flowering plants (2).

The removal of Amborellaceae and Trimeniaceae from Monimiaceae, championed early by Cronquist, is now universally adopted.
The stamens of the Monimiaceae offer the option of mentioning the long, and as yet resolved question of staminodia versus glandular appendages so common to many of the lauralian families.
The question is significant for in the case of Monimiaceae, there are typically twice as many staminodes as fertile stamens.

Monimiaceae sensu lato, an element of Gondwanan polar forests: Evidence from the late Cretaceous-early tertiary wood flora of Antarctica
Palaeofloristic studies of the Antarctic Peninsula region are important in furthering our understanding of (i) the radiation and rise to ecological dominance of the angiosperms in the Southern Hemisphere during the Late Cretaceous and (ii) the present day disjunct austral vegetation.
Characters include diffuse porosity, vessels which are mainly solitary with scalariform perforation plates, opposite to scalariform intervascular pitting, paratracheal parenchyma, septate fibres and tall (>3 mm), wide multiseriate rays with a length: breadth ratio of approximately 1: 4.

Department of Biology, University of Missouri-St. Louis, MO 63121 and The Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis, MO 63166.
Molecular phylogenetic studies have found that Hernandiaceae, Lauraceae, and Monimiaceae sensu stricto form a monophyletic group, here referred to as the HLM clade.
Alternatively, and this is the strategy we will pursue, one can sequence low-copy nuclear genes for key HLM genera to sample "faster" genes.

All have unilacunar nodes (two-trace condition at nodal or subnodal levels in Ascarina and Hedyosmum, and Monimiaceae) and some members of Monimiaceae and all Lauraceae possess valvular stamens.
Thus it is probable that the resemblances between the xylem of Canellaceae and Gomortegaceae have resulted from parallel evolution; the similarities of the xylem in the latter family with the xylem of Chloranthaceae, Monimiaceae and Lauraceae are in all likelihood based on true, and relatively close, relationships.
The overall resemblances between Chloranthaceae and Gomortegceae are not as great as between the latter taxon and Monimiaceae or Lauraceae.

Palmeria is considered to be phylogenetically basal in Monimiaceae in recent analyses based on moqJiological and molecular data sets (4,5).
In an as yet unpublished account of Monimiaceae for the 'Flora of Australia,' Foreman and Whiffin (13) concluded that three species are present in eastern Australia, namely P. scandens throughout the distributional range, P. hypotephra in northeast Queensland and an as yet unnamed species from southern Queensland and northeastern New South Wales.

It belongs to the family Monimiaceae, which has an unusually high number of single-species genera, most of which yield aromatic oils.
Peumus boldus is economically important in Chile, yielding hardwood, tannins, and dye from the bark, edible fruits, and medicinal compounds.

Even though xylary relations are seen among these five taxa, other morphological considerations in Canellaceae make it unlikely that a close relationship exists between this family and Gomortegaceae.
Canellaceous flowers possess a well-developed staminal tube, a plan very likely based on pentamery, anthers with longitudial dehiscence and trilacunar nodes.
Some Chloranthaeae and Monimiaceae, and most Lauraceae, have nonaperturate pollen grains.

Female flowers lacking disk glands, with a gynoecium consisting of a superior, unilocular, urceolate ovary (appearing somewhat fig-like) with basal placentation and numerous erect, anatropous ovules; style and stigma not evident, perhaps depressed into the center.
