Notes: Phylogenetic analyses in Jaklitsch & Voglmayr (2016) indicated that Ohleriaceae based on Ohleria modesta, is closely related to Hobusis as a separate family and has no affinity to other families with stong backbone support. Ohleriaceae comprises a monotypic genus. DNA based sequence data for this family is lacking.
Type genus: Ohleria Fuckel.
