347.0000 Family Podostemaceae Rich. ex Kunth; Nov. Gen. Sp. [H.B.K.] 1: ed. qu. 246 (1816), nom. cons.
ca. 50 genera, ca. 370 spp. Latest phylogeny: Ruhfeld et al. (2024) who could include only about half of the genera due to DNA extraction problems from herbarium specimens. There are obviously too many species described because the plastic variability of many species (depending on the site conditions) has been underestimated. Many species are known from only 1-2 locations and are extremely threatened by climate changes, river changes, drought, deforestation and other man-made influences.
