The family has only recently been recognized by taxonomists. The APG III system of 2009 (unchanged from the 1998 and 2003 versions) does recognize this family. The family includes three genera[2] with about 38 species,[3] occurring in the Southern Hemisphere. It is bird/insect pollinated and its conservation status as of 2017 is not threatened.[4][irrelevant citation]
