Plantefamilie
Plantefamilie, or plant family, is a taxonomic rank in botany that lies between order and genus. A plant family groups one or more genera that are considered to share a common ancestor and similar morphological or genetic traits. The classification of plant families has evolved with advances in molecular phylogenetics; modern circumscription aims for monophyletic families that include all descendants of a common ancestor.
Family names in flowering plants typically end with the suffix -aceae, as in Rosaceae (the rose family),
Plant families help organize botanical diversity, guide identification, and support studies of evolution, ecology, and agriculture.
Some well-known plant families and their general significance include Rosaceae (many fruit crops and ornamentals), Fabaceae
