Samydaceae
Samydaceae is a family of tropical and subtropical woody plants, its best known genus being Casearia. It has always been of uncertain placement, in the past usually being submerged in the family Flacourtiaceae.
Recently, members of the APG have included a large part of the Flacourtiaceae in the family Salicaceae including what were Samydaceae, without any real evidence as regards the latter. Further research suggests that reinstating Samydaceae may well be a viable option.
