Definition: The Acaceae family, also known as the saponiflorous families, is a group of flowering plants that are traditionally divided into two main groups: 1) The Monocotyledons (Monokos) - these include: a) Achealaceae (Acaceae) - plants with 20-35 flowers per plant. They produce fragrant, sweet-smelling flowers in shades of red, pink, yellow and white. b) Bromeaceae (Bromeliad) - these are plants that have one or more flowers per unit stem, making them look like lilies or orchids. They produce a small amount of fruit. 2) The Diplocarineae or the Poppies - these include: a) Campanulacarpaceae - these plants have 40-60 to 180 flowers per unit stem, and they produce a large number of fruits. b) Hydrangeaceae - this group includes many other species that have 35 to 55 flowers per unit stem. The term 'Acaceae' is derived from the Greek acaque meaning "flower" or "flowering," and the suffix "ae" indicating "an." The word was originally used as a botanical term in Latin for plants with anthers (male reproductive organs) that were described as having "sweet-smelling flowers" and "a fragrant aroma." The term 'Acaceae' is often used to describe certain types of flowering plant, particularly those which are known for their sweet fragrance. It is also sometimes used to refer to a group of plants in general. It's worth noting that the Acaceae family has been split up into two main groups: Monocotyledons and Diplocarineae (Poppies).
