Achariaceaeis a family of flowering plants consisting of 31 genera and about 155 species of tropical herbs, shrubs, and trees.[4]TheAPG IV systemhas greatly expanded the scope of the family by including many genera previously classified inFlacourtiaceae.[5]Molecular data strongly support the inclusion of this family in the orderMalpighiales.
The family is almost exclusively tropical and is best known as the source ofchaulmoogra oil,formerly used to treat leprosy. Unlike other members of the former Flacourtiaceae now placed in the familySalicaceae,the genera of Achariaceae typically havecyanogenic glycosides.[citation needed]
