Well known members of the family include the cannonball tree (Couroupita guianensis) and the edible Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa).Template:R

Taxonomy
According to molecular analysis of Lecythidaceae, including work by Mori et al. (2007),[2] subfamilies include:
Barringtonioidea
Previously Barringtoniaceae;[3] also sensu Takhtajan 1997;[3] this subfamily was also called Planchonioideae (which included Barringtonia). Genera are restricted to the Old World tropics.
- Barringtonia J.R.Forst. & G.Forst. (synonym Abdulmajidia Whitmore)
- Careya Roxb.
- Chydenanthus Miers
- Petersianthus Merr.
- Planchonia Blume
Foetidioideae
Previously Foetidiaceae[3] from Madagascar is monogeneric:
- Foetidia Comm. ex Lam.
Lecythidoideae
Genera restricted to the New World tropics.[4]
