#Genera>See text.}}Chrysobalanaceae is a family of flowering plants, consisting of trees and shrubs in 27 genera and about 700 speciesJOURNAL, Christenhusz, M. J. M., Byng, J. W., amp, 2016, The number of known plants species in the world and its annual increase, Phytotaxa, 261, 201â€“217,weblink 10.11646/phytotaxa.261.3.1, 3, free, of pantropical distribution with a centre of diversity in the Amazon.Stephens, P.F. (2001 onwards). Angiosperm Phylogeny Website. Version 9, June 2008.weblink Some of the species contain silica in their bodies for rigidity and so the mesophyll often has sclerenchymatous idioblasts. The widespread species Chrysobalanus icaco produces a plum-like fruit and the plant is commonly known as the coco plum.The family was traditionally placed as subfamily Chrysobalanoideae in the rose family (Rosaceae) or as a family in the rose order and exceptionally as an order in Myrtiflorae by DahlgrenBrummit, R.K. 1992.

In the phenotypic cladistic analysis of Nandi et al., it branched with Elaeagnaceae as sister group of Polygalaceae, in their molecular cladistic analysis it was in Malpighiales and also in their combined analysis.Nandi, O.L., Chase, M.W., & Endress, P.K. 1998.
