Sterculiaceae is a
botanical name for a group of
flowering plants at the rank of family and, as is true for any botanical name, the , status and placement of the taxon varies with taxonomic point of view. The family name is based on the genus Sterculia.As traditionally circumscribed the Sterculiaceae, Malvaceae, Bombacaceae, and Tiliaceae comprise the "core Malvales" of the
Cronquist system and the close relationship among these families is generally recognized. Sterculiaceae may be separated from Malvaceae sensu stricto by the smooth surface of the
pollen grains and the bilocular
anthers.
