Begoniaceae
Sign in to savethumb|Begonia consobrina Begoniaceae is a family of monoecious flowering plants with two genera and about 2040 species occurring in the subtropics and tropics of both the New World and Old World. All but one of the species are in the genus Begonia. The family is thought to have arose in Africa and then dispersed to Asia and the Americas. There has been multiple studies on pollination mechanisms within the family that suggest deceit pollination although overall there is not much known about the pollination of most species. There have been many recent discoveries of species in the genus Begonia
OverviewAI-generated
Begoniaceae is a family of plants within the order Cucurbitales, class Magnoliopsida, and phylum Tracheophyta. The taxon was described by C. Agardh in 1824 and is currently accepted. Its type species is Begonia, and the family produces berries as its fruit type. Common names for the group include Schiefblattgewächse, Begoniáceas, Begoniakasvit, and vinolehtikasvit.
Specimen records for Begoniaceae have been documented in Mexico, China, the Philippines, the United States, and Vietnam. These records are held by institutions such as INECOL, IBUNAM, IGL-UNAM, CAS, and BRIT. The family has been described in the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary.

秋海棠科（學名：Begoniaceae）共有2属约1400余种，广泛分布在全球各地的热带和亚热带地区，其中夏威夷秋海棠属只有一种生长在夏威夷群岛，其余的种类都属于秋海棠属。中国有约170种。 本科植物多为一年生或多年草本，也有灌木，罕小乔木，茎常有节；单叶互生，有托叶；花单性，雌雄同株，辐射对称或两侧对称；果实为蒴果或浆果。 克朗奎斯特分类法将秋海棠科分入堇菜目，分为三属；最新的APG 分类法根据基因亲缘关系将秋海棠科列入葫芦目，并将生长在新几内亚的Symbegonia属和秋海棠属合并。 秋海棠科几乎每年都有新种被发现，因此种类尚不只这些。有许多种类被栽培作为观赏花卉。 植于厦门万石植物园的四季海棠（秋海棠科） 外部链接 一种夏威夷稀有品种Hillebrandia sandwicensis 非洲秋海棠属种类之间的基因联系 秋海棠属的基因核醣体序列数据 秋海棠属的核醣体序列边界值 维基共享资源中相关的多媒体资源：秋海棠科 取自“https://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=秋海棠科&oldid=45537093” 分类： 秋海棠科 植物科名 隐藏分类： 物种微格式条目 含有拉丁語的條目

thumb|Begonia consobrina Begoniaceae is a family of monoecious flowering plants with two genera and about 2040 species occurring in the subtropics and tropics of both the New World and Old World. All but one of the species are in the genus Begonia. The family is thought to have arose in Africa and then dispersed to Asia and the Americas. There has been multiple studies on pollination mechanisms within the family that suggest deceit pollination although overall there is not much known about the pollination of most species. There have been many recent discoveries of species in the genus Begonia, such as Begonia truncatifolia which is endemic to San Vincente, Palawan. B. truncatifolia is smaller than other species of the genus Begonia and this new species is proposed Critically Endangered by standards set by the IUCN. The only other genus in the family, Hillebrandia, is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands and has a single species. Phylogenetic work supports Hillebrandia as the sister taxon to the rest of the family. The genus Symbegonia was reduced to a section of Begonia in 2003, as molecular phylogenies had shown it to be derived from within that genus. Members of the genus Begonia are well-known and popular houseplants.
