Mainly restricted to the [[Southern Hemisphere]], it is a fairly large family, with around 80 [[genus|genera]] but fewer than 2000 [[species]]. Together with the [[Platanaceae]] and [[Nelumbonaceae]] they make up the order [[Proteales]]. == Subfamilies == Traditionally divided in two subfamilies:Persoonioideae and Grevilleoideae. Recently, workers have recognized seven subfamilies: *Persoonioideae, *Bellendenoideae, *Eidotheoideae, *Proteoideae, *Sphalmioideae, *Carnarvonioideae *Grevilleoideae == Other websites == *[http://www.museums.org.za/bio/plants/proteaceae/ ''Protea'' family] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070812093751/http://www.museums.org.za/bio/plants/proteaceae/ |date=2007-08-12 }} *[http://www.aspca.org/site/DocServer/toxbrief_0402.pdf?docID=115 toxicosis in dogs] *[http://eprints.ru.ac.za/222/01/2004_Barker_et_al_Leucadendron.pdf Phylogeny, biogeography, and the evolution of life-history traits in Leucadendron (Proteaceae)]{{Dead link|date=January 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} [[Category:Proteaceae| ]]
