The Polygalaceae or the milkwort family are made up of flowering plants in the order Fabales. They have a near-cosmopolitan range, with about 27 genera and ca. 900 known species[1] of herbs, shrubs and trees. Over half of the species are in one genus, Polygala, the milkworts.

The family was first described in 1809 by Johann Hoffmansegg and Johann Link.[2] In 1896, Robert Chodat split it into three tribes. A fourth tribe was split off from the tribe Polygaleae in 1992.[3] Under the Cronquist classification system, Polygalaceae were treated in a separate order of their own, Polygalales. Currently, according to the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, the family belongs in Fabales.

Description

Polygalaceae are annual or perennial herbs, shrubs, trees or lianas.Template:R Its zygomorphic, hermaphrodite, bisexual flowers have three to five petals and five sepals.[4][5] Its leaves are usually alternate, but may be opposite, fascicled, or verticillate.[4] Each flower usually contains eight stamens, though this may range from three to ten. They are usually in two series.[5] The fruits of each plant can be a capsule, samara, or drupe.[4]

Tribes and genera

The Polygalaceae comprise the following genera,[4] with tribes based on various sources.[6][7][8][9][10][11]
