The Icacinaceae are a family of flowering plants,〔"Icacinaceae" At: Angiosperm Phylogeny Website At: Missouri Botanical Garden Website (see ''External links'' below).〕 consisting of trees, shrubs, and lianas, primarily of the tropics. The family was traditionally circumscribed quite broadly, with around 55 genera totalling over 400 species. In 2001, though, this circumscription was found to be polyphyletic, and the family was split into four families in three different orders: Icacinaceae ''sensu stricto'' (unplaced at order rank), Pennantiaceae (Apiales), Stemonuraceae (Aquifoliales) and Cardiopteridaceae (also Aquifoliales). Icacinaceae ''sensu stricto'' contains about 150 species, distributed into about 35 genera. One genus was named in 2005.〔Timothy M.A. Utteridge, Hidetoshi Nagamasu, Stephen P. Teo, Lydia C. White, and Peter Gasson. 2005. "''Sleumeria'' (Icacinaceae): A New Genus from Northern Borneo". ''Systematic Botany'' 30(3):635-643.〕 Icacinaceae ''sensu stricto'' is not monophyletic,〔Frederick Lens, Jesper Kårehed, Pieter Baas, Steven Jansen, David Rabaey, Suzy Huysmans, Thomas Hamann, and Eric Smets. 2008. "The wood anatomy of the polyphyletic Icacinaceae s.l. and their relationships within asterids". ''Taxon'' 57(2):525-552.〕 but further studies will be needed before anyone can determine how it should be divided into segregate families. ''Icacina senegalensis'' extracts have shown activity against malaria parasites.〔Sarr SO, Perrotey S, Fall I, Ennahar S, Zhao M, Diop YM, Candolfi E, Marchioni E.,"Icacina senegalensis (Icacinaceae), traditionally used for the treatment of malaria, inhibits in vitro Plasmodium falciparum growth without host cell toxicity." ''Malar J''. 2011 Apr 11;10(1):85〕 ==Genera== The following list of genera was created from several sources. The last column contains those genera whose inclusion in the family is especially doubtful. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Icacinaceae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
