In most species of the family, myrmecochoria is observed [2] .

Classification
Classification History
The Picrodendraceae family was previously considered as a subfamily of Oldfieldioideae in the Euphorbiaceae family . Even earlier, the genera included in the family were included in the subfamily Phyllanthoideae of the Euphorbiaceae family (now the Filantov family is also independent) [5] .
In each nest of ovaries , the representatives of the family have two ovules (unlike representatives of the euphorbia, in which the ovaries have one ovum). Another difference between picrodendra and euphorbiae is the absence of milky juice [5] .
The synonymy of the family includes the following names [2] :
- Androstachyaceae airy shaw
- Micrantheaceae J. agardh
- Paivaeusaceae A.Meeuse
- Pseudanthaceae Endl.
