弯药树科又名虎葛科只有1属4种，分布在从哥伦比亚到玻利维亚的安第斯山区。 本科植物为常绿乔木或灌木，有苦味；单叶对生，无托叶；花非常特殊，有两根雄蕊，每根雄蕊上有一个大的圆形弯曲的花药，弯出部分形成两个耳垂式的突起，花瓣5；果实为蒴果。 1981年的克朗奎斯特分类法将其列在蔷薇目，1998年根据基因亲缘关系分类的APG 分类法认为无法放在任何一个目中，直接列在II类真菊分支之下，可以选择性与离水花科合并，2003年经过修订的APG II 分类法维持原分类。

Columelliaceae is a family of trees and shrubs native to the Andes of South America.
In the APG II taxonomy it is placed in the order Lamiales, but a 2008 study suggested that the family is sister to the Bruniaceae, and the Angiosperm Phylogeny Website proposes incorporating this finding by placing both families in order Bruniales. The APG III system of 2009 thus does place Columelliaceae in the Bruniales.
