Lythraceae belongs to the order Myrtales. It is also known as Loosestrife family.
The Lythraceae is a family of flowering plants that includes herbs, shrubs, and small to medium-sized trees, found mainly in tropical and subtropical regions, with some species extending into temperate zones. These dicotyledonous plants typically have opposite or whorled leaves, often with smooth margins, and flowers with crumpled petals emerging from a tubular calyx. Many species produce capsules or berries as fruit.
Lythraceae members are adapted to a variety of habitats, including wetlands, woodlands, and cultivated landscapes. The family includes ornamental and economically important species. A notable commercial crop is the pomegranate (Punica granatum), cultivated for its juicy, antioxidant-rich fruits and widely grown in warm temperate to subtropical climates.
