Acanthaceae

**Acanthaceae** sunt familia angiospermarum dicotyledonarum quae paene 250 genera et circa 2500 specierum comprehendit.

Plurimae sunt herbae, frutices, vel lianae circumplicantes tropicae; aliquae autem sunt epiphyta. Perpaucae in regionibus temperatis habitant. Quattuor praecipui distributionis loci sunt Indonesia et Malaesia, Africa, Brasilia, et Mesoamerica. Species familiae in paene omni habitatione inveniuntur, praecipue in silvis confertis aut apertis, in *scrublands* (Anglice), in agris et vallibus humidis, in litoribus et aliis regionibus marinis, et in paludibus ut pars silvarum rhizophoracearum.
