[Wepfer, P. H., & Linder, H. P. (2014). The taxonomy of Flagellaria (Flagellariaceae). Australian Systematic Botany, 27(3), 159-179. https://dx.doi.org/10.1071/SB13048] The family has historically been recognized by few taxonomists. The
APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the
APG system, 1998), does recognize such a family, and assigns it to the order
Poales in the clade
commelinids, in the
monocots.
''Flagellaria'' consists of only five known species, found in the tropical and subtropical regions of
Asia,
Africa, Australia, and various island of the
Pacific and
Indian Oceans.
