Torricelliaceae
Sign in to saveThe Torricelliaceae are a family of trees native to Madagascar and southwest Asia. It contains three genera, Aralidium, Melanophylla and Torricellia. Under the APG II system, each of these genera was placed in its own family, but with the proviso that "Some of the families are monogeneric and could possibly be merged when well-supported sister-group relationships have been established." Such a relationship was established for these three genera in 2004. In the APG III system, these three genera constitute the family Torricelliaceae.

鞘柄木科只有1属3种，分布在喜马拉雅山东部和中国西南部，中国有2种。 本科植物为小乔木；单叶互生，一般5裂，叶柄长，无托叶；花单性，雌雄异株，排成大型的圆锥花序，花瓣5，雌花无花瓣；果实为核果。 1981年的克朗奎斯特分类法将其列在山茱萸科，1998年根据基因亲缘关系分类的APG 分类法认为应该单独分出一个科，放在伞形目中，2003年经过修订的APG II 分类法维持原分类，但2006年12月19日新修订的结果将假茱萸科、番茱萸科和其合并在一起。
