Dasypogonaceae is a family of flowering plants. Such a family has not been commonly recognized by taxonomists: the plants involved were usually included in the family Xanthorrhoeaceae. Dasypogonaceae includes four genera with 16 species.[1]
The APG IV system, of 2016 places the family in order Arecales, after some studies revealed the family as sister to Arecaceae.[2]
The earlier |APG III of 2009, APG III of 2003, and APG system of 1998, accepted the family and assigns the family to the clade commelinids, unplaced as to order.[3] In turn, the commelinids belong to the monocots.
The family is endemic to Australia, and comprises 16 species in four genera. The best known representative is Kingia australis.
