Saururaceae
Sign in to saveAlso known as lizard's-tail family
Saururaceae is a plant family comprising four genera and seven species of herbaceous flowering plants native to eastern and southern Asia and North America. The family has been recognised by most taxonomists, and is sometimes known as the "'''lizard's-tail family'''". The APG IV system (2016; unchanged from the 2009 APG III system, the 2003 APG II system and the 1998 APG system) assigned it to the order Piperales in the clade magnoliids.
OverviewAI-generated
Saururaceae is a family of plants within the order Piperales, belonging to the class Magnoliopsida and phylum Tracheophyta. The taxonomic type for this family is *Saururus*. Common names for the group include Liskiökasvit, ドクダミ科, Савруровые, and 삼백초과.
Members of this family are perennial herbaceous plants that typically grow between 15 and 60 centimeters in height. They possess creeping rhizomes and leaves that are usually heart-shaped, with flowers arranged in spikes. These plants generally inhabit rice fields, roadsides, or shaded wetlands. The family is native to East Asia and North America and comprises four genera and six species.
Records of Saururaceae have been documented in the United States, Vietnam, Malaysia/Sabah, Indonesia, and Brazil.
