Abstract
The Cordiaceae family consists of a fascinating group of flowering plants native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world. Although they were once classified as a subfamily within the larger Boraginaceae family, recent phylogenetic studies have recognized them as a distinct family with unique characteristics. This family includes around 350 species, spread across two recognized genera: Cordia and Varronia (Miller and Gottschling 2007). Some members contain phenolic compounds, flavonoids, triterpenoids, alkaloids, and essential oils.
