藤黄科科

分类

在金虎尾目之中，已知泽茶科（Bonnetiaceae）是现存植物中与本科关系最密切的姐妹群，然后才是金丝桃科（Hypericaceae）、胡桐科（Calophyllaceae）与川苔草科（Podostemaceae）。

分类沿革

过去，藤黄科在1982年的克朗奎斯特分类法之中被归类于五桠果亚纲山茶目，包含27个属，下分两个亚科：藤黄亚科（Clusioideae）与金丝桃亚科（Hypericoideae）。

随后分子学的研究发现旧有的黄藤科是个并系群，于是，1998年的被子植物APG分类法将金丝桃科与藤黄科分开并列于金虎尾目，到2009年APG III， 红厚壳属（Calophyllum）及黄果木属（Mammea）等也被进一步独立出来成立新的胡桐科。

The Clusiaceae or Guttiferae Juss. (1789) (nom. alt. et cons. = alternative and valid name) are a family of plants including 18 genera and ca 750 species. Several former members of Clusiaceae are now placed in Calophyllaceae and Hypericaceae. They are mostly trees and shrubs, with milky sap and fruits or capsules for seeds. The family is primarily tropical. More so than many plant families, it shows large variation in plant morphology (for example, three to 10 petals, which may be fused or unfused, and many other variable traits). According to the APG III, this family belongs to the order Malpighiales.

One feature sometimes found in this family, and rarely in others (e.g., Malpighiaceae), is providing pollinators with "pollination rewards" other than pollen or nectar; specifically, some species offer resin, which certain bees use in nest construction (each Clusiaceae species offers only one type of reward).

Taxonomic history

The family Clusiaceae was divided by Cronquist into two subfamilies: the Clusioideae (typical subfamily) and the Hypericoideae. The latter was often treated as a family—the Hypericaceae or St. John's wort family. Elements of the Hypericoideae are more common in northern temperate areas and those of the Clusioideae are centered in the tropics.

Later classifications, however, divide the family in a finer way. Molecular studies have shown that the family Podostemaceae—the riverweeds—as well as the Bonnetiaceae are nested in this group. Their inclusions make the Clusiaceae in a wide sense polyphyletic, and Stevens's subfamilies need to be recognised at family level: Clusioideae as Clusiaceae sensu stricto; Hypericoideae as Hypericaceae; and Kielmeyeroideae as Calophyllaceae.
