Phyllantheae is a tribe of the family Phyllanthaceae. The taxonomy of the group is not yet clear, and work continues (see Phyllanthus for more details). A recent revision based on nuclear and chloroplast DNA sequences divides the tribe into 6 subtribes and 18 genera.{{cite journal|url=http://www.amjbot.org/cgi/content/full/93/4/637|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060601192829/http://www.amjbot.org/cgi/content/full/93/4/637|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 1, 2006|title=Phylogenetics of tribe Phyllantheae (Phyllanthaceae; Euphorbiaceae sensu lato) based on nrITS and plastid matK DNA sequence data}}
