GENUS INDEX
GENUS CODE: EUPHO GENUS SCIENTIFIC:Euphorbia GENUS AUTHORITY: L. GENUS COMMON: Spurge GENUS SUMMARY: A genus of over 2000 species, herbs, shrubs, and trees, nearly cosmopolitan in distribution. Infrageneric classification follows Yang et al. (2012), Dorsey et al. (2013), Riina et al. (2013), and Horn et al. (2012).

FAMILY INDEX
FAMILY CODE: EUPHOR FAMILY SCIENTIFIC:Euphorbiaceae FAMILY AUTHORITY: A.L. de Jussieu 1789 FAMILY COMMON: Spurge Family FAMILY SUMMARY: A family of about 313-322 genera and 8100-9000 species, trees, shrubs, vines, and herbs, nearly cosmopolitan in distribution, as defined broadly. Molecular systematics suggests that various units traditionally included in the Euphorbiaceae should be segregated (Soltis et al. 2000; Chase et al. 2002). In our flora, this includes Phyllanthus, Phyllanthopsis, and Glochidion (in Phyllanthaceae).
