Classification System: APG IV Superregnum: Eukaryota Regnum: Plantae Cladus: Angiosperms Cladus: Eudicots Cladus: Core eudicots Cladus: Rosids Cladus: Eurosids II Ordo: Sapindales

Familia: Simaroubaceae
Genera: Ailanthus – Amaroria – Brucea – Castela – Eurycoma – Gymnostemon – Hannoa – Homalolepis – Iridosma – Leitneria – Nothospondias – Odyendea – Perriera – Picrasma – Picrolemma – Pierreodendron – Quassia – Samadera – Simaba – Simarouba – Soulamea

Name

Simaroubaceae DC., Nouv. Bull. Sci. Soc. Philom. Paris 2: 209. (1811) as Simarubeae

Type genus: Simarouba Aubl., Hist. Pl. Guiane 859 (1775), nom. cons.

Synonyms

Heterotypic
- Leitneriaceae Benth. & Hook.f. (1880)

Note: A broad circumscription of Quassia (Nooteboom, 1962) is paraphyletic and so this genus has now been reduced to its neotropic type (Clayton et al. 2007 & Govaerts et al. (2022).
