Phyllanthoideae
Phyllanthaceae is a family of flowering plants in the eudicot order Malpighiales. It is most closely related to the family Picrodendraceae.Kenneth J. Wurdack and Charles C. Davis. 2009. "Malpighiales phylogenetics: Gaining ground on one of the most recalcitrant clades in the angiosperm tree of life." ''American Journal of Botany'' 96(8):1551-1570. (see ''External links'' below) The Phyllanthaceae are most numerous in the tropics, with many in the south temperate zone, and a few ranging as far north as the middle of the north temperate zone.Petra Hoffman. 2007.

Aporosa
''Aporosa'' is a genus of flowering plant belonging to the family Phyllanthaceae, first described as a genus in 1825. It is native to China, the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Papuasia, and Queensland. These plants are mostly dioecious trees or shrubs. Four species ('' A. hermaphrodita'', '' A. heterodoxa'', '' A. brevicaudata'', and '' A. egreria'') have consistently bisexual flowers, although they may be functionally dioecious. The seeds have brightly colored arils that are attractive to birds, which disperse the seeds. There are about 80 species. ;Species ;formerly included moved to other genera: ''Antidesma Baccaurea Drypetes ''Drypetes'' is a plant genus of the family Putranjivaceae, in the order Malpighiales.

Phyllanthopsis
''Phyllanthopsis'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Phyllanthaceae. It is one of the eight genera in the tribe Poranthereae. It has two species. The type species is '' Phyllanthopsis phyllanthoides''. ''Phyllanthopsis'' is native to Texas, Oklahoma and Mexico. It consists of monoecious or dioecious shrubs. ''Phyllanthopsis phyllanthoides'' had been placed in ''Leptopus'' or '' Andrachne'' and '' Phyllanthopsis arida'' had been placed in ''Andrachne''. In 2007, a molecular phylogenetic study showed that these two species did not belong in either of these genera because they formed a clade that is sister to a clade consisting of ''Leptopus'' and ''Actephila ''Actephila'' is a genus of plants in the family Phyllanthaceae, first described as a genus in 1826.

Pseudophyllanthus
''Pseudophyllanthus'' is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Phyllanthaceae. It is one of the eight genera in the tribe Poranthereae. Its closest relative is ''Poranthera''. Its sole species is ''Pseudophyllanthus ovalis''. It is a dioecious, or rarely monoecious, shrub or small tree, native to southern Africa. It had been included in the genus ''Andrachne'', but in 2007 a molecular phylogenetic study of DNA sequence DNA sequencing is the process of determining the nucleic acid sequence – the order of nucleotides in DNA. It includes any method or technology that is used to determine the order of the four bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. T ...s showed that it did not belong there.Maria S.

Notoleptopus
''Notoleptopus'' is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Phyllanthaceae. It is one of eight genera in the tribe Poranthereae. The sole species is ''Notoleptopus decaisnei''. It is a monoecious shrub, native to Australia, New Guinea, and Indonesia. ''Notoleptopus decaisnei'' had long been treated as a species of ''Leptopus'', but in 2007, a molecular phylogenetic study of DNA sequences found it to be sister to a clade consisting of ''Pseudophyllanthus'' and ''Poranthera''. In 2008, the new genus ''Notoleptopus'' was created for it. The species, ''N. decaisnei'', has eleven synonyms, and was first described as ''Andrachne decaisnei'' by George Bentham in 1873. The species epithet honours Joseph Decaisne. * ''Andrachne decaisnei'' Benth. * ''Andrachne decaisnei'' var.
