|discussion=<p>Genera 5, species 8 (1 in the flora).</p><!--
--><p>The generic count includes Recchia Moçiño & Sessé ex de Candolle, retained in Simaroubaceae by A. Cronquist (1981) but placed in Surianaceae by other authors, and Stylobasium Desfontaines, sometimes placed in a separate family. The other genera are Cadellia F. Mueller and Guilfoylia F. Mueller. Recchia has one Mexican species; the others are Australian.</p><!--
--><p>A. Cronquist (1981) placed Surianaceae within Rosales. Formerly, this family, or at least the genus Suriana, was often included in the Simaroubaceae of the Rutales (J. Hutchinson 1964–1967, vol. 1; A. L. Takhtajan 1987). R. F. Thorne (1992b) allied Surianaceae closely with Fabaceae and Connaraceae. A phylogenetic analysis of molecular data by E. S. Fernando et al. (1993) supported the monophyly of Surianaceae (in the sense of Cronquist) and provided the first evidence for a close relationship to Fabaceae and Polygalaceae. Based on this, and evidence from other studies (P. A. Gadek et al. 1996; T. Kajita et al. 2001; F. Claxton et al. 2005), Surianaceae has been moved to Fabales (Angiosperm Phylogeny Group 2016).</p>
