Daphniphyllum is the sole genus in the flowering plant family Daphniphyllaceae and was described as a genus in 1826.[https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/429851#page/521/mode/1up Blume, Carl Ludwig von. 1826. Bijdragen tot de flora van Nederlandsch Indië 1152-1153] in Latin[http://www.tropicos.org/Name/40021882 Tropicos, Daphniphyllum Blume ] The genus includes evergreen shrubs and trees mainly native to east and southeast Asia, but also found in the Indian Subcontinent and New Guinea.[http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/namedetail.do?name_id=56335 Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families]

All species in the family are dioecious, that is male and female flowers are borne on different plants.{{citation |first1=Tianlu |last1=Min |first2=Klaus |last2=Kubitzki |contribution=Daphniphyllaceae |editor-last=Wu |editor-first=Zhengyi |editor2-last=Raven |editor2-first=Peter H. |editor3-last=Hong |editor3-first=Deyuan |title=Flora of China (online) |publisher=eFloras.org |contribution-url=http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=10254 |url=http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=10254 |name-list-style=amp |accessdate=2016-12-03}} In older classifications the genus was treated in the family Euphorbiaceae.

Daphniphyllum species are eaten by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including the engrailed (Ectropis sp.).
