'''Dilleniaceae''' is the [[botanical name]] for a [[family (biology)|family]] of [[flowering plants]]. Such a family has been universally recognized by taxonomists. It is known to gardeners for the genus ''[[Hibbertia]]'', which contains many commercially valuable garden species.
The family consists of about a dozen genera, of a few hundred species, found in the tropics and sub-tropics plus entire [[Australia]]. The species are mostly woody plants, but range from herbaceous plants up to large trees.
The [[APG II system]], of 2003 (unchanged from the [[APG system]], of 1998), also recognizes this family, unplaced as to order, assigned to the clade [[core eudicots]].
APG II debates either including it in order [[Caryophyllales]] or reinstating the order [[Dilleniales]] for just this one family, but decides to leave it unplaced.
