The family of parasitic plants that includes cassytha and dodders, which live by feeding on other plants.
Modern Linnaean nomenclature from 'Cassytha' plus the Latin suffix '-aceae' used to denote plant families.
The suffix '-aceae' is botanical Latin's way of saying 'family of,' so every time you see it, you're looking at a plant family grouped together by shared characteristics.
