'''Actinidiaceae''' is a small [[family (biology)|family]] of [[plant]]s. It includes three [[genus|genera]] and about 360 [[species]]. <br />
<br />
They are temperate and subtropical [[woody plant|woody]] [[vine]]s, shrubs and [[tree]]s, native to [[Asia]] (''[[Actinidia]] or '''kiwifruit''', [[Clematoclethra]], [[Saurauia]]'') and [[Central America]] and [[South America]] (''[[Saurauia]]'' only). ''Saurauia'' is with its 300 species the largest genus in this family.<br />
<br />
The plants are usually small trees or shrubs, or sometimes vines (''Actinidia''). The alternate, simple, spiral [[Leaf|leaves]] have serrate or entire margins. They lack [[stipule]]s or are minutely stipulate. They are often beset with rather flattened bristles.<br />
<br />
The [[flower]]s grow solitary or are aggregated in terminal [[cyme]]s, with free [[sepal]]s and [[petal]]s. The numerous [[stamen]]s are originally attached at the back. They invert just before the flower starts expanding, so that their bases become apical.<br />
<br />
The plants may be [[monoecious]], [[dioecious]] or [[hermaphrodite|hermaphroditic]]. The fruit is usually a [[berry]], such as the edible [[kiwifruit]], a cultivar from the genus ''[[Actinidia]]''.<br />
