BYTTNERIACEAE

Byttneriaceae is a natural order of plants allied to the mallows. Almost all the species contain a fatty oil in their seeds, and have a fibrous bast. The typical genus is Byttneria, from which the order is named, but by far the most important is Theobroma to which the tree yielding cocoa (cacao) belongs.
