'''Vochysiaceae''' is a family of [[evergreen]] [[flowering plant]]s, including trees and [[shrub]]s. The family consists of about 200 species in eight genera. Six of the eight genera are native to the [[Neotropics]], including [[Central America]] and parts of Mexico, and tropical [[South America]]. The monospecific genera ''[[Erismadelphus]]'' and ''[[Korupodendron]]'' are native to [[West Africa]].<br />
<br />
The family likely originated in [[South America]]. ''Erismadelphus'' is thought to have diverged from ''[[Erisma]]'' approximately 30 million years ago, and travelled to [[Africa]] as the result of long-distance dispersal.<br />
<br />
The genus ''[[Euphronia]],'' previously included in Vochysiaceae, is unrelated and now stands alone in the family [[Euphronia]]ceae, more closely related to the family [[Chrysobalanaceae]].<br />
