It includes three genera, Meliosma, Ophiocaryon and Sabia, the first being most species-rich and the only one found throughout the entire disjunct distribution range displayed by the family at present time. Sabiaceae resolves among early-diverging eudicots in family-level phylogenetic studies, however, to date, no such studies have focused on the family or any of its members. Nuclear and chloroplast molecular data were used to infer phylogenetic relationships within Sabiaceae and Meliosma. Sabia occupies a basal position in Sabiaceae and Ophiocaryon is nested in Meliosma, though the monophyly of the latter cannot be rejected. Results show that Meliosma alba, found in China and Mexico, is monophyletic. The subgeneric classification of Meliosma, largely based on endocarp morphological characters, is evaluated in light of the obtained results. Findings suggest that the intricate floral morphology of Meliosma is derived within Sabiaceae and that the basic floral plan in the family is pentamerous. Results could have taxonomic implications for Meliosma alba if confirmed by future research.} }
