Proteaceae
The Proteaceae form a family of flowering plants predominantly distributed in the Southern Hemisphere. The family comprises 83 genera with about 1,660 known species. Australia and South Africa have the greatest concentrations of diversity. Together with the Platanaceae (plane trees), Nelumbonaceae (the sacred lotus) and in the recent APG IV system the Sabiaceae, they make up the order Proteales. Well-known Proteaceae genera include Protea, Banksia, Embothrium, Grevillea, Hakea, and Macadamia. Species such as the New South Wales waratah (Telopea speciosissima), king protea (Protea cynaroides),

属 参见正文 山龙眼科包括80属，约2000余种，主要分布在南半球，大部分种类在澳洲和南非，此外在南美洲和东南亚有少数种类[1]，中国原产的有山龙眼属和假山龙眼属2属共21种，分布在南方。 本科植物多为灌木或乔木，稀为多年生草本；单叶互生、稀对生或轮生，常革质，无托叶；花两性，稀单性，通常左右对称，稀为辐射对称，无花瓣；花萼为花瓣状，4基数，具有颜色，花小，但花序明显，有特异化的很特殊的传粉机制[2]；果实为坚果、核果、蒴果或蓇葖果。各品种适应分化的非常严重，因此有时很难通过共性确定其科属[3]，但各属之间还是有明显的区别。 月桂叶哈克木 (Hakea laurina) Banksia coccinea 属 Acidonia Adenanthos Agastachys Alloxylon Athertonia Aulax Austromuellera 棒柯属 Banksia Beauprea Beapreopsis Bellendena Brabejum Buckinghamia Cardwellia Carnarvonia Cenarrhenes Conospermum Darlingia Diastella Dilobeia Dryandra Eidothea Embothrium Eucarpha Euplassa Faurea Finschia Floydia Franklandia Garnieria Gevuina 银桦属 Grevillea 哈克木属 Hakea 山龙眼属 Helicia 假山龙眼属 Heliciopsis Hicksbeachia Hollandaea Isopogon Kermadecia Knightia Lambertia 木百合屬（銀葉樹屬）Leucadendron 針墊花屬 Leucospermum Lomatia 澳洲坚果属 Macadamia Malagasia Mimetes Musgravea Neorites Opisthiolepis Oreocallis Orites Orothamnus Panopsis Paranomus Persoonia Petrophile Placospermum 帝王花屬 Protea Roupala Serruria Sleumerodendron Sorocephalus Spatalla Sphalmium Stenocarpus Stirlingia Strangea Symphionema Synaphea 蒂羅花属 Telopea Toronia Triunia Turrillia Vexatorella Virotia Xylomelum 参考文献 ^ Orchard, Anthony E.

The Proteaceae form a family of flowering plants predominantly distributed in the Southern Hemisphere. The family comprises 83 genera with about 1,660 known species. Australia and South Africa have the greatest concentrations of diversity. Together with the Platanaceae (plane trees), Nelumbonaceae (the sacred lotus) and in the recent APG IV system the Sabiaceae, they make up the order Proteales. Well-known Proteaceae genera include Protea, Banksia, Embothrium, Grevillea, Hakea, and Macadamia. Species such as the New South Wales waratah (Telopea speciosissima), king protea (Protea cynaroides), and various species of Banksia, Grevillea, and Leucadendron are popular cut flowers. The nuts of Macadamia integrifolia are widely grown commercially and consumed, as are those of Gevuina avellana on a smaller scale.
==Etymology== The name Proteaceae was adapted by Robert Brown from the name Proteae coined in 1789 for the family by Antoine Laurent de Jussieu, based on the genus Protea, which in 1767, Carl Linnaeus derived from the name of the Greek god Proteus, a deity who was able to change between many forms.
