Columelliaceae is a family of trees and shrubs native to theAndes ofSouth America.[3][4][5]
In theAPG II taxonomy it is placed in the orderLamiales,[1] but a 2008 study suggested that the family is sister to theBruniaceae,[6] and theAngiosperm Phylogeny Website proposes incorporating this finding by placing both families in orderBruniales.[3] TheAPG III system of 2009 thus does place Columelliaceae in the Bruniales.
