Biebersteinia
Biebersteinia is a genus containing four, or five, accepted species of herbaceous plants in the flowering plant order Sapindales. They occur from Greece in the eastern Mediterranean, to western Siberia, Central Asia, and the western Himalaya. They have erect stems (to 0.3 metres tall in B. odora, and to 2 metres or more in B. heterostemon) with a pleasant spicy odour, and have tuberous rhizomes; the leaves are finely divided, green to greyish-green, and the flowers are yellow (red with a yellow base in B. orphanidis), with five petals.

Kirkiaceae
Kirkiaceae is a family of flowering plants in the order Sapindales. It comprises one (or two) genera, Kirkia (and Pleiokirkia now included in Kirkia), totalling six species. These two genera were previously placed in family Simaroubaceae, but were transferred into their own family because they produce neither quassinoids nor limonoids. Kirkia is named for Captain John Kirk (explorer) of the famous Zambesi Expedition.
