The sole genus in this clade is Amorimia. The phylogenetic tree published in Davis & Anderson (2010 [pdf]), placed Amorimia as sister to the large Malpighia clade with very strong bootstrap support. See the discussion under Amorimia. In a more recent assessment, Almeida et al., 2017, assign Amorimia to their Malpighioid Clade (Malpighia clade + Amorimia + Ectopopterys).

Genus: Amorimia

Distribution: South America. [map to the ten species recognized by W. R. Anderson (2006b); see Almeida (2018) for map for all species now recognized]
