| '''Ancistrocladaceae''' is the ] for a ] of ]. Such a family has been widely recognized by taxonomists. | |||
| {{R from monotypic taxon|plant}} | |||
| The ], of 2003 (unchanged from the ], of 1998), also recognizes this family and assigns it to the order ] in the clade ]. The family consists of a single genus, '']'', of about a dozen species of lianas, found in the tropics of the Old World. | |||
| {{R with history}} | |||
| Recent molecular and biochemical evidence (see the ) suggests that the carnivorous taxa in the order ] (the families ] and ] and the species '']'' and '']'') all belong to the same ]. This family Ancistrocladaceae would belong to this same clade, although the plants in the family are non-carnivorous. | |||
| A close relationship between this family and the family ] (containing the carnivorous species '']'') is supported by similar ] and ] structure. The ], 1981, placed the family in the order ] (together with ]). The ] placed the family in its own order Ancistrocladales. | |||
| ==Ancistrocladus== | |||
| The only genus in the family ''Ancistrocladaceae'' is ''Ancistrocladus'', a little known genus of about 20 species. These are ] climbing twining plants, found in lowland to submontane, wet to seasonal evergreen or swamp forests, with eleven species occurring in tropical Africa and at least five species in West ], SE Asia, ] and ]. The sparingly branched, ] ] is complex and can exceed 10 cm diameter. It is along one side attached to the tree with grapnels (short, hooked lateral thorns, formed from modified stem apices), opposite to the leaves. Their ] are borne in dense, evergeeen rosettes. They are entire, have short ]s and lack ]s. They have a single wax-secreting ] in the ]al pits and glands on the abaxial surface. The flowers are small with a basally connate ], that are imbricate or rolled up lengthwise. The fruit is a nut with often wing-like accrescent ]s. | |||
| Scientific interest in this genus has grown considerably because the ] ] is considered a potential anti-] source by the ] because of its highly effective mode of action against HIV.{{Citation needed|date=June 2011}} This plant was discovered in Cameroon and subsequently recognized as a species new to science. Its ingredient ], an acetogenic napthyl isoquinoline ], contained in mature leaves, is the active principle. Also ] is a new ] drug extracted from the same plant. | |||
| ''Ancistrocladus abbreviatus'' has been used on traditional medicine in ], as treatment against ] and ]. The active ingredient is ], an ] extracted from this plant. | |||
| ''Ancistrocline'', an alkaloid derived from ''Ancistrocladus tectorius'', is used against ]. | |||
| Many other alkaloids are still being found in the other species. | |||

Redirect to:
- From a monotypic taxon: This is a redirect from a monotypic plant taxon to its only lower-ranking member. In a biology-related article, when for example a family has only one genus, the family may be a redirect to the genus.
- Use {{R to monotypic taxon}} when making a redirect to a monotypic taxon from its only member, for example, from a species to the genus of which it is the only member.
- With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
- This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).
