Name

Montiaceae Raf., Ann. Gén. Sci. Phys. 5: 349. (1820)

• Type genus: Montia L. Sp. Pl. 1: 87. (1753)

Synonyms

• Heterotypic
  • Hectorellaceae Philipson & Skipw., Trans. Roy. Soc. New Zealand, Bot. 1: 31. (1961)
    

Note: The circumscription of this family sensu Nyffeler & Eggli, (2010) is not fully accepted by all authorities, particularly in relation to Calandrinia/Parakeelya/Rumicastrum and Cistanthe/Philippiamra - see individual taxon pages for more detail. In addition refer to Hershkovitz, (2019), which is likely to require a number of changes to taxonomy.
