	Flowering Plant Families, UH Botany
		The Sterculiaceae are trees, shrubs, or herbs comprising about 65 genera and 1,000 species that are further characterized by the presence of stellate hairs.
		The leaves are alternate and simple or infrequently palmately lobed or compound; stipules are present but they are shed early.
		Notice the brown linear stipule at the upper node and the brown stipular scar at the middle and lower nodes.

	RBGE: STERCULIACEAE
		The Sterculiaceae is a pantropical family containing around 67 genera and 1500 species.
		A species level molecular analysis of the genus is also being undertaken using the ITS region to confirm the monophyly of the group and to generate a molecular phylogeny.
		A user friendly account of the family Sterculiaceae is being produced for volume five of the Tree Flora of Sabah and Sarawak due to be published in 2003.

	PBIO 450 Lecture Notes - Dilleniidae -- Spring 1999
		I restrict the Malvales to six families (Tiliaceae, Dirachmaceae, Byttneriaceae, Sterculiaceae, Bombacaceae and Malvaceae) and divided the Cistales into the Bixales (with Sphaerosepalaceae, Diegodendraceae, Bixaceae and Cochlospermaceae) and the Cistales proper (Muntingiaceae, Cistaceae, Monotaceae, Dipterocarpaceae and Sarcolaenaceae).
		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.
