Thymelaeaceae
Thymelaeaceae is a family of flowering plants, with about 700-750 species in 50 genera. The family has a cosmopolitan distribution with concentrations in tropical Africa, Southeast Asia and Australasia. The species include mostly trees and shrubs, with a few vines and herbaceous plants.
Several genera are of economic importance, notably Gonystylus (Ramin), valued for its hard, white wood, and Daphne, grown for its sweetly scented flowers. Many of the species are poisonous if eaten.
