Tamaricaceae
Sign in to saveThe Tamaricaceae, the tamarisk family, are a family of plants native to drier areas of Europe, Asia, and Africa. It contains four genera: Tamarix (with 73 species), Reaumuria (25 species), Myricaria (13 species), and Myrtama (a single species).
OverviewAI-generated
Tamaricaceae is a family of plants within the order Caryophyllales. It belongs to the class Magnoliopsida, phylum Tracheophyta, and kingdom Plantae. The family’s type genus is Tamarix, and its common names include Tamariskfamilie and 柽柳科. Members of this family produce capsules as their fruit type. The taxon has been described in the Granat Encyclopedic Dictionary.
Records of Tamaricaceae have been documented in countries including Palestine, State Of, Egypt, Mexico, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Specimens are held by institutions such as MEL, IGL-UNAM, NHMUK, and TTC. The family is recognized as an accepted taxon in various biological databases.

La famille des Tamaricaceae (Tamaricacées) regroupe des plantes dicotylédones ; elle comprend 120 espèces réparties en 3-5 genres. Ce sont des petits arbres ou des arbustes ou le plus souvent des plantes herbacées, à petites feuilles simples écailleuses, à petites fleurs régulières en épis. On les rencontre dans les zones arides ou sablonneuses des régions tempérées à subtropicales, en particulier les déserts, steppes et rivages d'Europe et d'Afrique. Parmi ces quatre genres, on peut citer : Myricaria : les myricaires Tamarix : les tamaris

The Tamaricaceae, the tamarisk family, are a family of plants native to drier areas of Europe, Asia, and Africa. It contains four genera: Tamarix (with 73 species), Reaumuria (25 species), Myricaria (13 species), and Myrtama (a single species).
In the 1980s, the family was classified in the Violales under the Cronquist system; more modern classifications (Angiosperm Phylogeny Group) place them in the Caryophyllales.
