Linaceae
The Linaceae are herbaceous or rarely woody plants, large trees in the tropics. The simple entire leaves are almost always alternate, sometimes with stipules. The hermaphroditic, actinimorphic flowers are pentameric, or very rarely tetrameric (much more frequently so in the tropics).
The family is cosmopolitan, with some 250 species.
