Firefly Books: Ontario, Canada. (2007). . In the APG III system of classification of flowering plants, Ochnaceae is defined broadly, to include about 550 species,Maria do Carmo E. Amaral, and Volker Bittrich. 2014. "Ochnaceae". pages 253-268. In: Klaus Kubitzki (editor). 2014. ''The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants'' volume XI. Springer-Verlag: Berlin, Heidelberg, Germany. (print). (eBook). and encompasses what some taxonomists have treated as the separate families Medusagynaceae and Quiinaceae.

Plant
Plants are predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. Historically, the plant kingdom encompassed all living things that were not animals, and included algae and fungi; however, all current definitions of Plantae exclude the fungi and some algae, as well as the prokaryotes (the archaea and bacteria). By one definition, plants form the clade Viridiplantae (Latin name for "green plants") which is sister of the Glaucophyta, and consists of the green algae and Embryophyta (land plants). The latter includes the flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, ferns and their allies, hornworts, liverworts, and mosses. Most plants are multicellular organisms. Green plants obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis by primary chloroplasts that are derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria. Their chloroplasts contain chlorophylls a and b, which gives them their green color. Some plants are parasitic or mycotrophic and have lost the ...
