Samydaceae

Samydaceae is a family of tropical and subtropical woody plants, its best known genus being Casearia. It has always been of uncertain placement, in the past usually being submerged in the family Flacourtiaceae.

Casearia fuliginosa

A 2002 paper included the Samydaceae in the family Salicaceae,[1] a placement accepted in the APG III system onwards[2] and also by Plants of the World Online as of March 2021.[3] This placement has by no means been universally accepted.[4]
