TaxonomyAralidium has proven difficult to place because it possesses characters in common with both the
Araliaceae and
Cornaceae. In the Cronquist system, it was placed in
Cornaceae. In the
Apg2 classification it is placed in its own family, Aralidiaceae. In 2004 a relationship was established between Aralidium, Melanophylla and Torricellia in 2004, resulting in the transfer of the first two of these genera into
Torricelliaceae.
