Basellaceae is the botanical name for a family of flowering plants. Such a family has been recognized by several taxonomists.

The APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, of 1998), also recognizes such a family and assigns it to the order Caryophyllales in the clade core eudicots. The family comprises some two dozen species of herbaceous plants (some twining) in four genera:

Members of economic importance include the ulluco and the Malabar spinach.

UH researchers win top prize for research with humanitarian applications
Tue, 19 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0400
(University of Houston) Understanding how microbes govern human and environmental health, two University of Houston researchers -- Yuriy Fofanov and Lennart Johnsson -- understand that what we don't see often carries big-picture implications. They've garnered international recognition for applying such vision while creating technologies to help monitor the sizes and genomic diversity of microbial communities. They were named winners of the second-annual Itanium Solutions Alliance Innovation Contest for the humanitarian applications of their team's research.
