The Oxalidaceae is a family of flowering plants. This family has about 900 species, mainly of annual or perennial herbs. These are found mainly in tropical and subtropical areas of the world, although some occur in temperate locations.
The genus Averrhoa of which starfruit is a member, is usually included in this family but some botanists place it in a separate family Averrhoaceae.
