Pentaphylacaceae
*Pentaphylacaceae Engler. Common name: Pentaphylax or Sakaki Family.
A family of 12 genera and ca. 340 species, of the tropics and subtropics (a few of warm temperate areas), mainly of Asia and America. There is nomenclatural dispute over whether to use the name Pentaphylacaceae (which is conserved) or the older Ternstroemiaceae.
