Genus typicum

Acanthus L.

Plurimae sunt herbae, frutices, vel lianae circumplicantes tropicae; aliquae sunt epiphyta. Perpaucae in regionibus temperatis habitant. Quattuor praecipui distributionis loci sunt Indonesia et Malaesia, Africa, Brasilia, et Mesoamerica. Membra familiae in paene omni habitatione inveniuntur, praecipue in silvis confertis aut apertis, in scrublands^? (Anglice), in agris et vallibus humidis, in litoribus et aliis regionibus marinis, et in paludibus ut pars silvarum rhizophoracearum.
