Abstract
The family Dilleniaceae consists of 10-14 genera and 500 species with four subfamilies (Lima et al., 2014). The members are distributed in tropical and subtropical regions around the world including Australia. Some members are widely used in folk medicines to treat cough, fever, diabetes, diarrhea, and cancer and are also used as hair tonic (Sabandar et al., 2017). Some members produce edible fruits and can be cultivated as ornamental plants.
