'''Schisandraceae''' is the [[botanical name]] of a family of [[flowering plants]]. Such a family has been recognized by most taxonomists, at least for the past several decades. Before that, the plants concerned were assigned to family [[Magnoliaceae]]. The [[APG II system]], of 2003, also recognizes such a family. It places the family in order [[Austrobaileyales]], which in turn is accepted as being among the most basic lineages in the clade '''[[angiosperms]]'''. APG II assumes this to be a family of three genera, Schisandraceae sensu lato. This family consists of woody plants, containing [[essential oil]]s. However, APG II does allow the option of segregating the genus ''[[Illicium]]'' as the family [[Illiciaceae]]. This leaves only two genera in this family, Schisandraceae sensu stricto. This consists of ''[[Schisandra]]'' and ''[[Kadsura]]'', totalling several dozen species, found in tropical to temperate regions of [[East Asia|East]] and [[Southeast Asia]] and the [[Caribbean]]. The latter option, of two separate families, actually is the position taken by all the other recent [[list of systems of plant taxonomy|systems of plant taxonomy]]. <hr> The [[APG system]], of 1998, recognized both the families Schisandraceae sensu stricto and Illiciaceae, unplaced as to order. It regarded both families as being among the most basic lineages in the clade '''[[angiosperms]]'''. <hr> The [[Cronquist system]], of 1981, treated the plants in the family (in its wider sense) as two separate families, which together constituted : the order [[Illiciales]], :: in subclass [[Magnoliidae]], ::: in class [[Magnoliopsida]] [=[[dicotyledons]]], :::: of division [[Magnoliophyta]] [=[[angiosperms]]]. <hr> The [[Thorne system (1992)]] treated the plants in the family (in its wider sense) as two separate families, which were assigned : to the order [[Magnoliales]], :: in superorder [[Magnolianae]], ::: in subclass Magnoliideae [=dicotyledons], :::: in class Magnoliopsida [=angiosperms]. <hr> The [[Dahlgren system]] treated the plants in the family (in its wider sense) as two separate families, which together constituted : the order Illiciales, :: in superorder Magnolianae, ::: in subclass Magnoliideae [=dicotyledons], :::: in class Magnoliopsida [=angiosperms]. <hr> The [[Engler system]], in the update of 1964, treated the plants in the family (in its wider sense) as two separate families, which were assigned : to the order Magnoliales, which was placed :: in subclass Archychlamydeae, ::: in class Dicotyledoneae, :::: in subdivision Angiospermae <hr> ==External links :== * [http://delta-intkey.com/angio/www/Schisand.htm Schisandraceae] [sensu stricto] in L.
