'''Araliaceae''' is a family of [[flowering plant]]s, also known as the '''Aralia family''' (after its [[type genus]] ''[[Aralia]]'') or '''[[Hedera|Ivy]] family'''. The family includes 254 species of [[tree]]s, [[shrub]]s, [[liana]]s and perennial [[herbaceous]] plants into 2 subfamilies. Species usually bear [[pinnate]]ly or [[palmate]]ly compound leaves, and usually have small flowers produced in large panicles.
The family is closely related to [[Apiaceae]] and [[Pittosporaceae]], and the boundaries between these families and other members of [[Apiales]] are still uncertain. Some recent systems included Araliaceae in an expanded Apiaceae but this has not been widely followed. Molecular phylogenies suggest that at least some of the genera traditionally included in Apiaceae as subfamily Hydrocotyloideae appear to be more closely related to Araliaceae, and the inclusion of ''[[Hydrocotyle]]'' and ''[[Trachymene]]'' in Araliaceae has been recommended (Chandler & Plunkett 2004).
The generic level classification of Araliaceae has been unstable; in particular, numerous genera have been synonymized under ''[[Schefflera]]''. Recent molecular phylogenies have shown that this large pantropical genus is polyphyletic and it is likely that it will be divided once again into several genera in the near future.
