Family CN: Star-vine Family Family Code: SCHISA Family Parent: [in AUSTROBAILEYALES] Family Authority: Blume 1830 Summary: A family of 2 genera and about 40-60 species, woody vines, of e. Asia and e. North America (only our single species). The family is most closely related to the Illiciaceae, Austrobaileyaceae, and Trimeniaceae. In APG III (2009), Schisandraceae is included in Illiciaceae, but the differences seem entirely sufficient to keep them separate.
