Hypericaceae is a plant family in the order Malpighiales. Molecular data supports its monophyly.[1] Some systematists[who?] treat it as a subfamily of the Clusiaceae. When it is accepted as a distinct family, it contains the following genera:
- Cratoxylum Blume
- Eliea Cambess.
- Harungana Lamarck
- Hypericum L.
- Lianthus N. Robson
- Santomasia N. Robson
- Thornea Breedlove & McClintock
